Obama Hiding Behind Daley’s Skirts?

John Kass has an explanation for Stanley Kurtz for why he couldn’t access what should be public records at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Kurtz apparently didn’t read the name of the building in which the files from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge reside. It’s the Richard Daley Library, and when a Daley gets involved in a Chicago issue, openness flies right back out the door:

The relationship between the ambitious Obama and the unrepentant Ayers is a subject that excites Republicans, who haven’t really thwacked that pinata as hard as they might. It really irritates Obama and his political champion, Chicago’s sovereign lord, Mayor Richard M. Daley.

“This is a public entity,” Kurtz told us Wednesday. “I don’t understand how confidentiality of the donor would be an issue.”

You don’t understand, Mr. Kurtz? Allow me to explain. The secret is hidden in the name of the library:

The Richard J. Daley Library.

Eureka!

The son of the famous Chicago machine boss and one in his own right, Richard Daley Jr doesn’t understand why anyone would want to look into the relationship between a presidential candidate and an unrepentant domestic terrorist-cum-academic. If William Ayers was good enough to wangle a Chicago job with the help of his father, Mayor Daley wondered aloud, why would anyone question him?

Well, I believe it was a call from Daley to Al Gore after his concession speech in 2000 is the telling tale.

It changed the course of history and divided our Country!

What makes anyone thinks a leopard is going to change his spots come this election?

JMHO

Actually Obama’s more like the Ed Norton character in Fight Club. If you ignore him, he’ll start punching himself in the face and then claim you did it. That’s his campaign’s sorry modus. The opponent will be off to the side talking about the issues and then Obama will blurt out “Don’t use my blackness against me”. Wait WTF, we weren’t even talking to you, Victimbreath.
