Interesting! Here’s more of the same...
OBAMA: “I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That’s what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That’s the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. “

We were discussing why Obama went to Chicago the other day. The discussion didn’t go far when it was suggested he went for school. According to this statement,that isn’t so.
WHY DID BARAK OBAMA GO TO CHICAGO? WHO SENT HIM? WHO WAS WAITING FOR HIM?
His Hawaiian mentor FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS was previously active in Chicago. It isn’t difficult to believe Obama went to Chicago to join Ayers because of Davis’s teachings and associations.
What Bill Ayers saw in Barack Obama

A great community to desert, thanks to the community organizer;
Between 1995 and 2000
Minnesota experienced a
net gain of more than 9,000
black alone people from other
states. Illinois accounted for
the greatest net gain. The
number of black residents
moving to Minnesota from
Illinois exceeded the number
moving in the opposite
direction by almost four to
one.
In 1983, unrepentent domestic terrorist, Ayers, and convicted felon and unrepentent domestic terrorist, Dohrn, move to New York City so Ayers can attend the Bank Street College of Education which is located at 610 West 112th Street.
In 1983, Barack graduates with a B.A. in Political Science and International Studies from Columbia University in New York City. Prior to graduation, Barack wrote many letters of interest, but received no job offers.
From 1983-1984 for a little less than one year, Obama’s first job after graduating from Columbia University was with a company called Business Financial Corporation. Obama held a position as a research associate in its financial services division, where he edited Financing Foreign Operations, a global reference service, and wrote for Business International Money Report, a weekly financial newsletter. Business Financial Corporation was persistently and erroneously identified as a front operation for the Central Intelligence Agency. Part of the company lore was that the unusual role of researching politics and economics from abroad during the 1950s and 1960s “proved” that the company was a CIA front, but no firm evidence ever surfaced.
In his book, Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote “On the spot [at a Lexington Avenue diner], he [Gerald Kellman, the man from the Calumet Community Religious Conference in Chicago], offered me the job which involved organizing conferences on drugs, unemployment, [and] housing. Facilitating dialogue, he called it. I declined his generous offer, deciding I needed a job closer to the streets. After the meeting, I took the long way home, along the East River promenade.”
“I spent three months in 1984-1985 working [on a salary of $10,000/year] for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), a Ralph Nader offshoot up in Harlem, trying to mobilize minority students at City College about the importance of recycling. [NYPIRG is New York State’s largest student-directed consumer, environmental and government reform organization. NYPIRG is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit group established to effect policy reforms while training students and other New Yorkers to be advocates.]
Then [I spent] a week passing out flyers for an assemblyman’s race in Brooklyn — the candidate lost [Vita Lopez won] and I never did get paid.” [Interestingly, in the Democratic Presidential primary race in 2008, the opponent in the 1984 Assemblyman’s race who won, Vito Lopez, endorses IL Senator Barack Obama over NY Senator Hillary Clinton.]
In 1984, unrepentent domestic terrorist, Ayers graduates with an M.A. in Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College of Education at 610 West 112th Street in New York City.
From 1984-1987, unrepentent domestic terrorist, Ayers attends graduate school in the School of Education at Columbia University located at 116th Street and Broadway. While at Columbia, Ayers also works as an instructor in the Pre-service Program in Elementary Education in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching in the Teachers College (1985-1987).
From 1984-1988, unrepentent domestic terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn, is hired by Newton Minow as a paralegal in the Sidley Austin LLP Law Firm in Chicago while she attempts to get admitted to the New York or Illinois State Bar Association. Dohrn got the position because of the influence of her father-in-law, wealthy Chicago businessman, Tom Ayers. Dohrn would not renounce her domestic terrorism so she is not admitted to either Bar Association and she must work as a paralegal.
In 1985, Gerald (Jerry) Kellman at Calumet Community Religious Conference in Chicago receives a grant from the Woods Fund, a Chicago foundation that gives grants for community organizing, to hire a new community organizer for the organization he heads called the Developing Communities Project (DCP). Later, Barack Obama and unrepentant domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, sit together on the Board of the Woods Fund.
In 1985, Barack “spotted an intriguing help-wanted ad in The New York Times. The Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC), a group that aimed to convert the black churches of Chicago’s South Side into agents of social change, was looking for a community organizer to run the group’s inner-city arm, the Developing Communities Project (DCP). I soon arranged to meet in New York with the organizer who was heading up the job search.”
From 1985-1988, Barack works in Chicago as a community organizer for $10,000/year and $2,000 to buy a used car. Having been hired by Gerald (Jerry) Kellman, a social activist who recruited him, Obama takes a staff (community organizer) position with the Developing Communities Project whose personnel work with churches to organize job training and other programs for poor and working-class residents of Roseland and Altgeld Gardens public housing projects on the city’s industrial far South Side. He also organizes workers who had lost their jobs due to the steel mill and factory closings. Perhaps his most confrontational effort was to pressure city authorities to remove asbestos from the apartments in 1986. When the on-site manager didn’t take action, Obama nudged the residents into confronting city housing officials in two angry public meetings.
In 1987, needing a church affiliation to further his community organizing work, Barack Obama joins Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ which is headed by the foul mouthed, racist, Farrakhan-embracing, Black Liberationist-teaching Jeremiah Wright.
In 1987, unrepentent domestic terrorist, Ayers, graduates with an M.A. AND an Ed.D. in Education and Curriculum from the Teacher’s College of Columbia University in New York City and moves back to Chicago.
In 1987, Michelle Robinson (Obama) is hired by Newton Minow as a summer associate in the Sidley Austin LLP Law Firm in Chicago. While there, she works with and gets to know unrepentent domestic terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn, (wife of Bill Ayers), who is a paralegal in the same firm.
[A plausible scenario for how Ayers and Obama meet is the following]
In the fall of 1987, Obama working in his role of community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) is introduced to unrepentent domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, while both of them are “working” the same side of the Chicago Teacher’s Union Strike of 1987. Ayers is quoted as saying, that he and Obama met “at a luncheon meeting about school reform in a Chicago skyscraper”.
In 1987, Ayers forms a new organization called the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools (ABCs). to push for Illinois legislature approval of Local School Councils (LSCs). Obama in his role of community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) also works hard to push for legislative approval of Ayers’ Local School Council (LSC) proposal. Ayers would later Chair the ABCs.
In 1987, Chicago United, a group of businessmen concerned about race and education issues is founded by Bill Ayers’ father, Tom Ayers, who was formerly the CEO of the large Chicago utility, Commonwealth Edison (now Exelon) hosts an Education Summit luncheon. At the luncheon, Chicago United releases a report showing that the most important management reforms it had recommended to the School Board in 1981 had been either ignored or “were buried in classic obfuscation.” Chicago United goes on to join Designs for Change and the Chicago Panel in pushing for school system decentralization.
From 1987-1992, unrepentent domestic terrorist, Ayers, is employed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Evaluation, at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
In 1988, Barack Obama moves to Boston to attend Harvard Law School.
[A likely scenario would be the following:]
In 1989, Barack Obama [takes Tom Ayers—Bill Ayer’s father—up on a favor he’s offered and] takes a position as a summer intern in the Sidley Austin LLP Law Firm in Chicago..
In the summer of 1989, the junior associate who is put in charge of overseeing his work is Michelle Robinson (Obama). Barack is introduced to Michelle by her coworker, friend, and unrepentent domestic terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn.
In 1990, the University of Illinois at Springfield publishes a collection of essays called After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois. Obama contributed a chapter, titled: “Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City.”
In 1990, Barack is named President of the Harvard Law Review and spends his time in that position writing his autobiography, “Dreams from My Father”. It is now highly suspected that Bill Ayers ghost-wrote this book because of all the alliterative language and ikkustrative language that is used in Obama’s memoir and a book by Bill Ayers.
In 1991, Barack graduates with a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School.
In the spring of 1991, Barack moves back to Chicago.
In 1991, Barack and Michelle Robinson travel to rural Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya to visit his “Granny”, his Uncle, his older half-brother, George, (who all 3 were present for Barack’s birth in Kenya) and the rest of the family on his father’s side.
From 1992-1995, Obama has a position as a civil rights lawyer with the Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland Law Firm in Chicago.
From 1993-2002, Obama serves on the board of the Woods Fund with unrepentent domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers.
