Obama’s Foundation Gave $800,000 to William Ayers’ Foundation

October 14, 2008

 The Obama campaign likes to throw around the excuse that you can’t hold what William Ayers did when Barack Obama was eight years old against Obama. But that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Obama/Ayers relationship, some of us are more interested in Ayers’ recent past and his association with Barack Obama, which we have found out is much more extensive than we were led to believe. And more extensive than Barack Obama cares to admit.

 When first asked about his relationship with the terrorist Barack Obama claimed that he was just a man in the neighborhood, he claimed that Ayers’ children went to the same school as his own, and through the school he had a very casual relationship with Ayers. We now know that that statement was an outright lie.

 We have learned that Barack Obama was chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an organization that William Ayers co-founded.

 And according to  this article the Small Schools Workshop at the University of Illinois-Chicago (founded by William Ayers) received $800,000 from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. A far cry from “just a man in the neighborhood.”

 While the Obama campaign tries to distance Obama from Ayers using the mantra that Obama was only eight when Ayers carried out his acts of terrorism, that is not what the problem with the Obama/Ayers relationship is. The problem is that Ayers was not just a guy in the neighborhood as Obama would have us believe. Barack Obama had a working relationship with this man. He gave many hundreds of thousands of dollars to support this man over the years. He launched his political career in this man’s living room. And now he is trying to hide from the past. But the past isn’t what we are worried about, it is the future. How can Obama be trusted when he has such dubious and diabolical associations?

 He has not been truthful about his association with Ayers, he is trying to downplay it but the more that we hear about their association the more we find out that these two men have been intertwined over many years.

    When will Barack Obama come forth and respond to all the questions Americans have of him? Senator john MCcain’s life past and present has been a open book, why is Barack Obama’s such a closed secret book? What does his college transcripts say about him?
    Barack Obama has a excuse for any questions about his past and they end with those asking being called racist. Is it really racist to ask about his connection with William Ayers? I think not! His connection to Rev. Wright who gave sermons on hating the white person, of course he said this isn’t the man he knew and actually thinks we believe this excuse.
    Why can’t he even be honest about his connection to ACORN? Why won’t he denounce ACORN for it’s actions? It is simple they would not support him! The proof is right there slapping him in the face and still he lies! I just do not understand it. I am a Democrat who wants a honest president and the only honest candidate so far is John MCcain and Sarah Palin. they have not hid anything from us and have told America to get out our current crisis is not going to be easy.
    Barack Obama’s solution is to take from the wealthy and spread it among the middle class, hey what about the poor? If you live paycheck to paycheck your poor. How does Obama think new jobs will be created when he is taking their money. Companies will move to countries with less taxation.I agree with John MCcain giving tax breaks to companies who are going to create jobs for America. With Barack Obama plan where is the incentive to get out and work hard for a good day’s pay? Why should we, he is going to give us handouts from the government. His work as a “community organizer” taught him how to work the system and he shows others how to also.
    With ACORN’s actions how can America trust the election system, ACORN is in the tank for Obama and the ACORN canvassers said as much in a interview in Cleveland, Ohio that was until the ACORN worker realized she had said too much and all of a sudden she had to run, wonder why? In her interview she said she told the people she was driving to the polls to vote for Barack Obama and we are to trust our election system now. I am finding that hard to do, I see another 2000 election coming in three weeks.
    All I can is Barack Obama stand up like a man and for once in this campaign come clean and tell America the truth if you can! I wonder if he would be willing to take a lie detector test? That is the only way I would believe a word out of his mouth.
    I also have to ask Obama why did he and his wife Michelle attend several dinner parties thrown by a know PLO member, his response probally would be he lived in the neighborhood. Wonder what kind of neighborhood he lives in? Lets don’t talk about Rezko and his sweet property deal with him, more lies I tell you!
