Bill Ayers wife, Bernadine Dohrn who was a leader of the weather undergound and a domestic terrorist that advocated violence against innocent Americans, worked with Michelle Obama at Sidley Austin in the 1980's it has been reported by various sources.
Sidley Austin was a law firm.
Dohrn worked there 84-88. Michelle started there in 88 and may have interned in 86 & 87.
Yes and their is the implication that dohrn or ayers introduced her to obama FWIW.
How did Obama afford at home in Ayers, Ali and Farrakhan neighborhood? In the 1990’s?
Dohrn worked for Sidley Austin in New York Office, Michelle worked for Sidley Austin in Chicago...different times. This is a red herring.

THE AYERS/OBAMA TIMELINE: (Version 2.0; a work in progress; dates are approximate)
1981-1983[William Ayers and Barack Obama meet at Columbia?]
1987 William Ayers links up with Barack Obama in Chicago
1988 Ayers solicits Khalid Al-Mansour to raise money for Obama’s Harvard law School education
1989 Tom Ayers and William Ayers get Obama a summer job at Sidley & Austin (where he meets Michelle Obama); Ayers’ wife Bernadine Dohrn also worked at Sidley at about the same time as Barack and Michelle.
1993 Ayers places Obama on Woods Foundation
1995 Ayers makes Obama Chairman of Annenberg Challenge
1995 Ayers hosts a coffee klatch for Obama’s political debut (Obama falsely claims this is when he met Ayers)
2007-2008 The structure of Obama’s presidential campaign increasingly comes to resemble an Ayers-designed national “community organizer matrix” straight out of Maoist theory. This is not merely a presidential “campaign.” Obama’s organization is the first installment of an ongoing movement being paid for with tax-exempt contributions to his campaign, approaching half a billion dollars.
2008 Obama In response to ABC News, Obama tells a national TV audience he was “six years old” when Ayers bombed federal buildings, and they are only casual neighborhood acquaintances. A lie.
No one cares about the 1980’s. Get something more current.
I wonder if any of these people knew Rezko early on, or if he was a strictly Chicago politics acquaintance of Obama. It would be nice to close the loop, so to speak, by filling out some of these associations.

“One possible connection between Ayers and Obama was Sidley Austin, the prestigious Chicago law firm where Obama had a summer job after his first year at Harvard Law School, and where he met his future wife Michelle, assigned to him as a mentor. Also working at Sidley Austin was Bernadine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers, and a fellow Weather Underground terrorist. Given the shared “progressive” politics of the three, they probably knew one another and associated together at a firm known as a white shoe corporate practice.”
Sidley Austin was the law firm that did work for Ayers’ Dad’s firm, the power utility, Commonwealth Edison. Daddy Ayers took good care of his son’s friends.
It’s already coming to light that Ayers almost certainly ghostwrote “Dreams From my Father” and that made sure that young Barry did not leave a paper trail.
Also, that Obama was likely introduced to Ayers during his Columbia years in the early eighties by then comp. lit. professor Edward Said.
“Manchurian Candidate” is most definitely applicable to him after all. He is Ayers’ young frankenstein.
If it shows that O is not telling the truth about when he knew Ayers - it's pertinent
The other issue is how terrorists and radicals like Ayres, Dorn, and Angela Davis, are allowed to teach in American Univerisities. HTF does that happen? I suspect they are hired by lesser profile radicals who have inserted themselves in university administrations all over the country. That is why American universities have become little soviet enclaves of indoctrination and anti-Americanism. As the universities go, so goes the country.
Here's Michelle last night on Larry King (Barely) Alive showing her financial expertise and why she makes the BIG BUCKS -- and mentioning her "diverse" neighborhood (which must be where she found the white baby):
KING: With the economy the way it is...
KING: ... How has it affected the Obamas?
M. OBAMA: You know, we've been blessed.
KING: You haven't lost anything in this?
M. OBAMA: You know, I have to say, I don't know. I've been -- I haven't talked -- we haven't had time to really review kind of our financial situation. We're, you know, on the road all of the time.
KING: Do you assume you've lost something?
M. OBAMA: Probably so. I can't imagine -- I think everybody has lost a little bit of something. But, you know, we have family members, friends, folks in our neighborhoods. Everyone is nervous.
You know, we live in a community that's pretty diverse. And folks have been out of work in our neighborhood for a long time. I mean, that's the thing that we're seeing, is that what's playing out on Wall Street now has been playing out in our neighborhood for a long time. Folks have lost jobs in communities and we've seen commercial districts dry up.
We're seeing -- I work at a hospital that's an academic health center and we see our emergency rooms filled with people who don't have insurance.
So this has been going on for a while. So, relatively speaking, we're blessed, which is another reason why, you know, that's what makes Barack angry, is to see the inequity going on. And it's been going for a while.
If true, it shows a connection between Ayers and Obama more than Obama admits. Strengthens the link between Obama and Ayers. Guess you do not care about that, huh whiner. You want something more current do your own damn homework.
THis is the best explantion yet http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NjY4YzdhMDBkZGQ3ZmU2MTUzYjdkMzc5ZjUzYmViZWM=
