Ayers (while at Bank Street College in NYC headed by his father, Thomas) got Obama the community organizer job (fall 1984 until spring 1985) through a Ralph nadar outfit called NYPIR that was located on the campus of (radical Marxist political group ridden) City College of New York (CCNY). Obama held the job 3 months over the early spring of 1985.
At this point, Obama has known Ayers and wife Dorn since meeting them at a Stokley Carmichael speech about Marxism and Black Panther Party/Black Power at Coopers Union College near Columbia a few months back. Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983, but he stayed in NYC to work until mid-spring of 1985.
Prior to working for NYPIR at CCNY, Obama worked as an investments writer at a company in NYC that was said to be a front for the CIA.
After this job, Obama worked for 3 weeks (October-Nov 1984) on the campaign of an alderman candidate in Brooklyn who lost to Democrat challenger Vito Lopez
