The years he won’t discuss may explain the Ayers tie he keeps lying about.
Barack Obama does not want to talk about Columbia. Not even to his good friends at the New York Times, who’ve so reliably helped him bleach away his past — a past neck-deep in the hard Left radicalism he has gussied up but never abandoned.
Why? I suspect it is because Columbia would shred his thin post-partisan camouflage.
You might think the Times would be more curious. After all, the Democrats’ presidential nominee has already lied to the Gray Lady about the origins of his relationship with Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Back in May, in a cheery profile of Obama’s early Chicago days, the Times claimed (emphasis is mine):
Mr. Obama also fit in at Hyde Park’s fringes, among university faculty members like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, unrepentant members of the radical Weather Underground that bombed the United States Capitol and the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War. Mr. Obama was introduced to the couple in 1995 at a meet-and-greet they held for him at their home, aides said.
Now look, anyone who gave five seconds of thought to that passage smelled a rat. Ayers and Dohrn are passionate radical activists who lived as fugitives for a decade. There’s no way they held a political coming-out party for someone who was unknown to them. Obviously, they already knew him well enough by then to feel very comfortable. They might have been sympathetic to a relative stranger, but sponsoring such a gathering in one’s living room is a strong endorsement.
And now, even the Times now knows it’s been had.

The founder of the WeatherUnderground let Barry Obama into THEIR WORLD. Bill Ayers selected Barry as the Chairman of a leftist foundation that Ayers founded.
BARRY IS DIRTY AS HELL!
Very good article by Andrew C. McCarthy. Thanks for posting.
I have been wondering about this myself.
Certainly someone in the conservative press can find an alumni directory and find the political science majors who graduated with Obama in 1983. I am amazed that no one from Columbia has come forward-certainly someone must want to jump up and down for joy and say they were in classes with Obama. Where are they? Do any of his professor remember him?

Stanley Kurtz and Steve Diamond would share a Pulitzer Prize in a just world (where only Woodward and Bernstein types - i.e. lefties, are eligible).
I’ve read that before. Everyday I’m amazed BO has gotten this far. Let’s hope he doesn’t get any further.
Tell me why the American should TRUST this guy when he doesn’t TRUST the American people with his background information.
Why, yes...yes I have. LOL!
I can’t find, or put together, even a reliable time line on when Obama started Occidental, when he left there (with how many credits or years) and started Columbia, when he graduated Columbia and the hiatus between then and starting Harvard. Ayers was at Columbia when Bambi was there, and of course both in NYC, and then both ended up in Chicago. Rezko recruited Omaba at Harvard, or was it Columbia? Someone paid Bambi’s tuition at Columbia where he was non-honors, and of course at Harvard. It is maddening how the MSM blurs all the lines, and as McCain said in Albuqurque, whenever someone asks about such things they are met with a barrage of insults (racist, liar, etc.).
Exactly. Why aren’t journalists or bloggers going through the Columbia yearbook, interviewing those who went to Columbia with Obama. His roommates, his instructors, his landlord. They’ve had nearly two years to do this and nothing.
I read that someone did interview lots of people in his class and no one remembered him. It even seemed unusual to the Columbia grads.
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.
Even though we have finally started piecing the puzzle together, we continue to investigate. For example, where in Chicago did Barack Obama live in 1985-1988? Help if you have an address.
Because we are still assembling all of the pieces to the Ayers-Obama puzzle, feel free to submit suggestions, additions to the timeline or other information that you believe may be helpful. We will publish updated/corrected versions
Ya know, that's a great point I'd never thought about. Just exactly HOW long did Hussein know Ayers?
