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.

Not really, it just proves that CNN really does stand for Clinton News Network.

[Snurple]

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.

[palomonte]

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.

[xjcsa]

This aired on AC360 the other night.

[mplsconservative]

Too bad only 17 people watch CNN.

You haven't been to an airport lately, have you?

[CriticalJ]

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.

[Islander7]

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.

[Humbug]

It absolutely boggles my mind that a guy like Ayers could be allowed to have anything to do with the indoctri...er....education of school children. What would the media say if David Duke were doing the same? And if Palin had been neighbors with DD and had served on the same board with him? Ahh but Ayers is a liberal, so everything is okay. Just move on. Look the other way.

I’m really beginning to wonder if Obama had any normal friends, any non-radical acquaintances or neighbors. It’s becoming blatantly obvious that this guy had been groomed from a very young age by radicals to become just what we see today. A dream come true for them. Their great hope. Their anointed one. Looks. Intelligence. Politically correct ethnicity. Socialist. Beloved by the media. Everything they could want. And he is oh so close to being the next President, the most powerful man in the world.

Will America wake up in time and see what he truly is? And what kind of “changes” he’ll bring?

[popdonnelly]

Exactly. It’s not like Obama walked into a meeting where Ayers was present, or Ayers merely voiced support for Obama. They, and Michelle, were allied politically in a common cause.

“Begala/Carville should be banished”

I think Begala and Carville are trying to maintain their relevance in the post-Clinton age. They may well go the way of Jody Powell (remember him?).

[BIGLOOK]

Do you actually believe what's in that article?

Read Moussanni and Belloc on the origins of Mohammadism and the biography of Mohammed. Serge Trifkovic's The Sword of the Prophet is enlightening also.

It's true that Mohammed sought refuge among the Jews and Christians in Medina when he was exiled from Mecca but later disdained their hospitality and betrayed them as he did to the Meccans upon his return there. There are connections but they are heretical and false.

All I needed to know about islam, I learned on 9-11-2001.

[LucyT]

For a contemporary look at islam, may I suggest the book: America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It by Mark Steyn.

[BIGLOOK]

I enjoy Stein but that's not my point. We do not rewrite histories of historical figures to satisfy politically motivated or correct whims. They are what they once were...no more or less.

Once we head down the road of over analyzing events or characters from the past, we deviate from historical perspective and the facts of times.

History is already slanted enough through political prisms and prejudices. This sort of distortion has been Obama's strong suit, his ace in the hole. You've done much to call the bluff and stand up against it and your persistence is commendable. But let's stick to what is evident and provable.

Obama, like Mohammad is a fraud. They both ran a con game and suckered legions to follow them; one succeeded and one is attempting to succeed using the same deception that has been enhanced by techniques and maneuvers previously practiced by Marxists, Nazis and Communists. He's the new icon. But an icon is a picture beneath a gilded veneer.

So .....forgive the rant.

[LucyT]

No prob. If you can’t rant among friends, where can you rant, lol.

[unsycophant]

Wow. I can’t believe this is from CNN.
