Financially - pure and simple: If Obama couldn't really manage this fund, how the HELL is he going to manage the Dept. of Education (amongst other things)?
The fact that Obama was involved and colluding with Ayers (who was heavily embroiled in a "freethinker" school in Michigan during the 1970's before the Weathermen went on their bombing/killing spree) to figure out how to spend this money is deeply troubling.
Fortunately, as an organization, the Weather Underground never killed anyone. However, they certainly tried.
From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

Please see the *bottom* portion of my FR Profile/Home page for some incredible details regarding the 1981 Weather Underground-Black Liberation Army-related Brinks truck robbery and triple murder mentioned in the new anti-Obama (the Weather Underground technically broke up years before this took place).
Look for the large heading:
"About the Weather Underground-related police killing mentioned in the new anti-Obama video ad" (see bottom portion of page)

And if you haven't seen the video yet, here it is:

This story apparently has been running around out there for about a week, but I did a search on a bunch of title words and didn’t find it. It certainly is more relevant to Obama’s management/governing skills, or lack thereof.
When a person doesn’t have to earn the money himself, it certainly colors how he spends it. Almost as if it almost magically appears and then disappears with little thought. Of course, that money is the fruit of someone’s else labor and shouldn’t be needlessly collected or frivolously spent.
Need to adjust your timeline, I believe. The bomb that killed the three terrorists went off in 1970, IIRC.
