Greta says Obama isn't being straight about Ayers

David Horowitz talked about Bill Ayers’ father getting Barack his job at Sidley/Austin. Also talked about Barack Obama planning his presidential run, at the Ayers/Dorn kitchen table.

Bill Ayers' father was VERY big in Chicago politics. The Ayers and Daleys are very close

We know that Ayers started Obama's political career, and is very influential in Chicago politics. What hasn't been really examined is HOW and WHY he's influential

The HOW and WHY is his dad Thomas G Ayers (1915-2007). Tom Ayers was President of Commonwealth Edison from 1964, and was chairman and CEO from 1973 to 1980. Besides that:

"He had a great social conscience and believed in breaking down the barriers that confronted so many people, particularly minorities and women," said James O'Connor, who succeeded Mr. Ayers as ComEd chairman. "Beyond what he did at Commonwealth Edison, he really set an example for other leaders in the Chicagoland business community to follow."
Mr. Ayers also served on boards of nonprofit initiatives and chaired those of the Chicago Urban League, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Erikson Institute, Bank Street College of Education in New York, Community Renewal Society and the Chicago Community Trust.
While chairing the Northwestern University Board of Trustees, he helped start Chicago United, dedicated to racial minority group access to jobs and education. The project that made him most proud, son John Ayers said, was Dearborn Park, an integrated South Loop housing project, which he conceived and for which he raised funds.
With his sons deep in protest of the Vietnam War (one, Bill Ayers, was a member of the radical Students for a Democratic Society who went underground for about 11 years) the businessman supported his children and their campaign. "Our father always stood by us," John Ayers said. "He was an establishment guy, but he believed in us. He believed in change."
After the Board of Education's financial collapse of 1979, Mayor Jane M. Byrne named Mr. Ayers as her choice for president of the new board.

Bill Ayers' dad was a primary mover and shaker in Chicago politics, with strong ties to the Daley machine. Besides all the above:

He was the Chicago establishment, serving on the boards of Sears, G.D. Searle, Chicago Pacific Corp., Zenith Corp., Northwest Industries, General Dynamics Corp. of St. Louis, First National Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Cubs and the Tribune Co.
Mr. Ayers also was an agent for change, negotiating between Mayor Richard J. Daley's administration and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s open housing campaign in the mid-1960s, and developing the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities to fight racial discrimination in housing.

And how exactly was Obama connected up the the Ayers in Chicago? I'm suspecting that his long association with Frank Marshall Davis in Hawaii had a lot to do with his decision to settle in Chicago. Per Davis's wiki entry:

In 1927, Davis moved to Chicago, where he worked variously for the Chicago Evening Bulletin, the Chicago Whip and the Gary American, all African-American newspapers.[5][6] He also wrote free-lance articles and short stories for African-American magazines. It was also during this time that Davis began a serious effort to write poetry, including his first long poem, entitled Chicago’s Congo, Sonata for an Orchestra.
[...]
In 1935, Davis moved back to Chicago to take the position of managing editor of the Associated Negro Press[9], a news service for black newspapers, which had begun in 1919. Eventually, Davis was named executive editor for the ANP. He held the position until 1947.
During the Depression, Davis participated in the federal Works Progress Administration Writers' Project. In 1937, he received a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship.[10]
While in Chicago, Davis also started a photography club, worked for numerous political parties, and participated in the League of American Writers. With the encouragement of authors such as Richard Wright and Margaret Walker, Davis published in 1948 his most ambitious collection of poems, entitled 47th Street: Poems, which chronicles the varied life on Chicago's South Side.
Sometime during the period 1943-1945, Davis joined the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA), although he never publicly admitted his party membership. Davis published pieces in CPUSA-supported publications.[citation needed]
Davis used his newspaper platform to call for integration of the sports world, and he began to engage himself with community organizing efforts, starting a Chicago labor newspaper, The Star, toward the end of World War II. In 1945, he taught one of the first jazz history courses in the United States, at the Abraham Lincoln School[11] in Chicago.

I think Obama chose to move to Chicago to take advantage of the network of connections that Davis still had with the Chicago Left.

Does anybody here doubt that there would be a connection between Davis and Ayers, given the connections between the Communist Party and the Weather Underground, particularly between black radicals like Davis and the Weather Underground coming from the Chicago Eight trial?

Now that is a mystery. Why would Fox try to keep a lid on the Ayres story.

Pressure from Fox's Saudi prince stockholder?

HOME RUN!!!

>>>Pretty much the same for the apartments to be renovated in S. Chicago that Obama got money for the rehab and they are still sitting there boarded up.<<<

Yep - there was that scheme and also money to build low-cost housing for the poor. Rezko was involved in both if I'm not mistaken.

After renovating and building the units, Rezko got gov. money to "maintain" them.....never lifted a finger to do any maintenance and pocketed millions. They are now, according to the report I heard, vacant and deteioriating at an amazingly fast rate due to shoddy construction in the first place.

A pure rip-off of gov. funds engineered by Obama, Mayor Daley, Rezko and some other Chicago politicos.

Fox News is embargoed by the Obama campaign, as the Obama Messiah won’t consent to an interview. Fox is trying not to antogonize the campaign, which I think is silly since Obama is not going to come on Fox, now way, no how!

You could have a lot of fun with that. Invite Horowitz on, then say, "Senator Obama was invited on to give his viewpoint but declined."

If you want to find out what is going on inside the “real” Democrat Convention, go to Texasdarlin.com.

In violation of Party and Convention rules, Obama and the DNC are conducting secret balloting of the delegates.

Clinton supporters are OUTRAGED! And are now calling Obama a Stalinist and a fascist.
