But the relationship between Obama and Ayers went deeper, ran longer and was more political than Obama -- and his surrogates -- have revealed, documents and interviews show.
A review of board minutes and records by CNN show Obama crossed paths repeatedly with Ayers at board meetings of the Annenberg Challenge Project.
The Annenberg Foundation gave the project a $50 million grant to match local private funds to improve schools, and Ayers fought to bring the grant to Chicago, according to participants and project records.
The project's organizing committee asked Obama to serve as the board chairman in 1995. Annenberg Project Executive Director Ken Rollings said Ayers was not a member of that ad hoc group when the decision was made.
For seven years, Ayers and Obama -- among many others -- worked on funding for education projects, including some projects advocated by Ayers.
"The specific job of the board of directors was to give out the money," said Stanley Kurtz, a conservative researcher for the Ethics and Public Policy Center and frequent Obama critic.
"Instead of giving money directly to schools, they gave money to what they call external partners and these partners were often pretty radical community organizer groups," said Kurtz, who also has been reviewing the Annenberg Challenge's recently released records.
The board, for example, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bill Ayers' small schools project. The project promoted alternative education, including projects like the Peace School -- where the curriculum centered on a United Nations theme -- and another school where the focus was African-American studies.

I am amazed CNN published this. Someone might lose their job over this.
You mean CNN actually is interested in this type of stuff? They actually looked past what they were fed from the Obama campaign?
Hey, there may be hope for America yet.
PING
The American people are beginning to turn on the MSM human waste that continue to lie, distort, and campaign for the Muslim Messiah.
They didn't earn the Clinton News Network moniker for nothin... no doubt there's more than a couple puma hangin out there...
Either I’m missing the “next page” link or that article ends abruptly. Wonder what happened to the reporter?
What is going on at CNN?
Do they know something we don’t?
Are they hedging their bet on Obama because they think McCain might win?
There has been a BIG, BIG change in their overall commentary in just the last week.
John Gibson just interviewed a guy that is convinced that Ayers wrote Obama’s book (as a ghost writer). He did all kinds of technical comparisons to writing styles, etc and is convinced. I believe he is posting his report on WorldNetDaily.
bump
All this stuff is really starting to hit the fan. I hope it is not too late.
I think there was a thread here today written by that guy but I can’t find it.
and michelle worked in the same office as dorn the bomber in 1988.
THIS THREAD needs a Hillary/Flying Monkeys pic asap
Obama voters do not give a turd about Ayers or the truth they just want Change and Hope.
Too bad only 17 people watch CNN.
Yup - that’s the guy.
The project’s organizing committee asked Obama to serve as the board chairman in 1995. Annenberg Project Executive Director Ken Rollings said Ayers was not a member of that ad hoc group when the decision was made.
That part is what caught my eye...that will be his defense. That Ayers did not hire him, and it was not his fault that they were both on the board. He couln’t help that there was an “association”.
I am betting that Obama met Ayers in 1981 in New York, while attending Columbia.
Not when Bill and Hillary are in charge.
Wouldn't you like to put Obama on a lie detector.
I’m with you on that one.
Maybe some in the press realize the huge mistake they made. It might be too late, but I saw a story on Drudge from a CBS reporter saying the Obama plane stinks (Obama -> typical of the low class leftwing base of the Democratic Party -> smelly and unwashed) and they treat the elite journalist poorly (poor baby, he is too white. Get used to it.).
I didn't ride into town last night in a watermelon truck.
Maybe, they see that a government run press won’t need so many reporters and they are now waking up their own dire future?
Actually, this is the clintoons working behind the scene.
I noticed that as well however their bias panel covering the debates haven't gotten the memo yet. Begala/Carville should be banished for suggesting race riots and burning will occur O should lose.
Now the question they need to ask is “Why did B. Hussein Obama try to hide his relationship with Ayers?”
A. He knew he was associating with a terrorist and didn’t
want to hurt his chances at getting elected.
B. He knew he was associating with a terrorist and didn’t want to hurt his chances at getting elected.
C. Both A and B.
They want not only Change and Hope, they want our money!
I'd rather put him on a slow boat to China.
It is a fascinating article that I started this morning and just finished.
Especially interesting was the part where he described Ayer's short stint as a merchant seaman. He list all the 'nautical' terms that appear in both Ayer's book and Obama's. Understandable for Ayer's to use them in his book, but no reason that Obama would...had he written it himself.
Obama, the end is near.
CNN calls Hussein Obama a liar. Surprise, surprise!
Will this ever hit the airwaves or just sit out on an internet server?
Google Cashill
He’s just a guy from Obama’s hood, who coincidentally wrote one of his books.
To quote Cher........”and the beat goes on”......
It aired on CNN Anderson’s Cooper 360.
Yes, but 4 of those 17 are people we're trying to reach! :-)
Not really, it just proves that CNN really does stand for Clinton News Network.
CNN, rat organization that they are can see that the election is anything but won ( regardless of what the polls say) and want to be able to say they were unbiased in their coverage of Obama. The polls all support obama the alphabet news are all in his corner. When Mc/Palin win in November CNN will say see, we were one of the only news organizations who exposed the Obama corruption. If Obama wins they can say we were in your corner the whole time. Covering their arse mode.
I am not criticizing those people whose lives were affected by Ayers and Dohrn’s bombing - but if it were me -I would have to take matters into my own hands and settle it with them.
This aired on AC360 the other night.
You haven't been to an airport lately, have you?
Did Obama piss off CNN?

It’s always interesting to read other people’s comments:
Let’s see how far we can spread this genuine quote from Bill Ayers:
“Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents—that’s where it’s really at.”

Begala ought to be careful - Bill Clinton was in on the Iran/Contra shipments, through the airport at Mena, Arkansas.

I am in airports quite a bit actually (ORD, MIA). And the last few times, I have been observing how many people in the waiting area are actually watching. Usually not more than 3 or 4, everyone else is either on their cels, eating, or talking to the person next to them, or sleeping.
FOX is driving the news, forcing the Dem controlled media to report or die.
The word is out and the real folks are fed up!
Pat Codell on Great called them, said they failing the nation.
