How about that? No sooner than the voting was finally underway and Bill Ayers surfaces from the Hyde Park underground for...."spontaneous" simultaneous interviews with the Washington Post
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/11/04/bill_ayers_speaks.html
and The New Yorker...

no doubt part of the rehabilitation effort necessary to enable the Obama confidante

open access to the White House.
As might be expected, Ayers attempted to minimize his connection with Obama despite the extensive record and despite the fact that Obama himself told the media that they were in touch as recently as early 2007.
But the New Yorker notes something the Post glossed over:
Ayers says his contacts with "the Obama circle" continued until "his name became part of the campaign maelstrom."
Now the "maelstrom" really only began a few weeks ago when Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin accused Obama of "palling around with terrorists," which indeed was one focus of the interviews today.
So unlike the millions of people that Ayers compared himself to in the interview whom he said would want to get to know Obama better (hey, who can argue with that - we are all wondering who Obama is given his relationship with a former terrorist and lifelong authoritarian and neo-stalinists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn),
**we know now from both Obama and Ayers that their relationship existed and continued into the campaign period itself.
Nonetheless, the reporters avoided probing Ayers on what his role was with the Obama circle.
I have already reported that it was significant and that in fact Ayers is part of a select group that includes only himself and Bernardine Dohrn inside the inner circle, and that the couple advises Obama and his wife Michelle directly and personally.
To remind readers that reporting included a credible source stating, among other things, that Ayers and Dohrn speak regularly with either Obama or his wife and have been involved in "vetting" campaign advisors and potential appointees and that Ayers and Axelrod spoke regarding efforts to prevent access to the records of work Ayers and Obama did together on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995 until 2002.
Since neither Ayers nor Dohrn have formal roles in the campaign organization (beneath them no doubt) they can continue to use that as a means to convince people that they are not involved.
Ayers appears to confirm the structure of his relationship to the campaign when he told The New Yorker:
"I felt from the beginning that the Obama campaign had to run the Obama campaign and I have to run my life."
Now why would someone who was NOT very involved with Obama have to make such a decision? Thus it did not surprise me at all as it did The New Yorker that Ayers was "curiously calm and cheerful" about the way he has been treated in the campaign.
Ayers knew where he stood and knows where he stands now. And so now the battle for the soul of the next Presidency moves to another stage.
(The obsequious non-reporting coming from the Post and the New Yorker only serves to remind how far those two pillars of modern American journalism have fallen from the days when they spoke truth to power. For a reminder of what that really meant to this country watch All The President's Men when you have a chance.)
Bill Ayers is a hero in the minds of many prominent democrats. They just don’t agree with his old-school tactics.
And probably will be privy to our most guarded, highly classified state secrets and military capabilities. A truely chilling thought.
But hey, he’s black.
Thanks for posting this SW- I read about it before the election and knew it was too late to do any good- but it’s important information.
I’ve passed it on already ..
OK .. so, now we know we've really been played the stooge all along, while the messianic throng has achieved their despicable mission.
I don't think we (the freepers) were played. We knew and tried to get the word out.
We cannot let this drop!
Done.Thanks for the ping. The American media is corrupt to the core and it is time to expose them as well.
I am not a conspiracy guy, and I am not a raging lunatic right now running around my house in a fit because of this election. I took it well, and despite frustration see opportunity in this outcome. I wanted to say that before making this statement....
This election is the closest thing we could see to a coup in our country. Between the mysterious funding sources, the inner circle of the candidate, and the 100% lockstep media for the past few years to take down this President, and then simultaneously dismissing the Clintons and taking back the White House.
Obama denied public funding over the summer, and then magically got $150 million in September when most sources would be tapped out in a tight economy. That’s more in one month than Kerry had in his whole campaign and that was a very heated election with high motivation on the left.
Additionally, this guy came to Washington clearly says on record he would not run for president because he was not prepared, and then made an about-face within six months.
Whoever organized this obviously approached him during that time and mapped out his road to be President in 3 years. He could not have realistically thought he could defeat Hillary by staying had left and then beat the GOP as a centrist a few months later as a newbie to national politics. I am sure he would have waited to get some experience before jumping in.
Conspiracy or not, there is no doubt some insidious people have access now to our national strategy.
Things are churning along as planned.
According to this:

it is okay to fight, it is noble and necessary.
Thank you for this information and the links. It tends to confirm information we had as well as many of our suspicions.
My theme in other threads has been that O has been surrounded by communists or communist supporters from his highchair to the present.
It seems very important to identify competent, independent news sources and support them.
My tinfoil hat’s on.
I now have SERIOUS doubts about the
financial crisis and Paulson, Goldman
Sachs, Frank, et al.
What could be a more perfect foil
for the entree of this radical, empty
suit than this “catastrophic” global
crisis ?
Stinky!
Agree with your post - you forgot to mention the impeccable timing of the financial market collapse. I guess this conspiracy also had to arrange for McCain to act just like Bob Dole too.
The man behind the man.
edit!
The MENTOR behind the MARXIST!
They never "spoke truth to power", only against conservatism or Republicans. What was their record in speaking against any Democrat in power?
Obama needs to be careful, and I’m glad to say he isn’t. All this post-election clearing of the truth could backfire. That’s what happened to Governor Gray Davis in California.
We knew this.
No one gave a sh*t.
We’ve gone from chasing terrorists to letting them lead us.
How’s that for “change”?
Ayres thinks that the evil, immoral government deserves to be fought/blown up. I’m wondering if he thinks we should rebel against Obama’s tyranny...
Please explain your post. I’m lost.
