“The Manchurian President”also unmasks, exclusively, important aspects of Obama’s carefully covered-up college years, with new details of his student career at Occidental College and later at Columbia University.
I will RUN to the bookstore!!
whoa!..
from factcheckdot org commie site article...obama comment from october 2008...
Obama, Oct. 8: This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was eight years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois. ... And the notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that ... I’ve ‘palled around with a terrorist’, all these statements are made simply to try to score cheap political points.
Would this be the Marty Kellman who was fired from the former Drexel Institute of Technology (now Drexel University) in Philadelphia by its board of trustees in 1967 or '68? The board never said why they got rid of him, and it created quite a stink at the time.

Barack Obama and the family of William Ayers
Not long after posting the following entry I heard an interview with Newt Gingrich on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a syndicated radio show aimed at the ‘black community.’ Newt described bipartisan efforts to improve America’s schools and had high praise for Arne Duncan, President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education.
I’ve stated before on this blog that it’s my firm belief that if not for Steve Diamond sounding the alarm last year there would have been a very different education secretary, one whose views reflected those of William Ayers’s.
Although Steve’s warnings were suppressed by the mainstream media during the presidential campaign, he is a well known figure in labor union circles. He is also well known to Obama’s circle, and particularly known for his tenacity.
So while Arne Duncan is not perfect, next to what could have been in charge of American public education reform he is a fortunate pick.
But now to turn back the clock, to before Barack Obama came to the White House —
Introduction
From Who “sent” Obama? by Stephen Diamond, originally published April 22, 2008:
In Chicago politics a key question has always been, who “sent” you? The classic phrase is “We don’t want nobody that nobody sent” — from an anecdote of Abner Mikva’s, the former White House Counsel (President Clinton) and now retired federal judge. (And someone I campaigned for while in high school when he ran, unsuccessfully, for Congress in the early 70s.)
As a young student, Mikva wanted to help out his local Democratic Party machine on the south side of Chicago. In 1948, he walked into the local committeeman’s office to volunteer for Adlai Stevenson and Paul Douglas and was immediately asked: “Who sent you?”
Mikva replied, “Nobody sent me.”
And the retort came back from the cigar chomping pol: “Well, we don’t want nobody that nobody sent.”
So it is reasonable to ask, who “sent” Barack Obama? In other words, how can his meteoric rise to political prominence be explained? And, of course, in an answer to that question might lie a better understanding of his essential world view. When I started looking at this question a few weeks ago I quickly grew more concerned about the kinds of people that seem to have been very important in Obama’s ascendancy in Chicago area politics. It is the connection of some of these people to authoritarian politics that has me particularly concerned. And a key concern of this blog has been the rise of authoritarian tendencies in the global labor movement.
The people linked to Senator Obama grew to political maturity in the extreme wings of the late 60s student and antiwar movements. They adopted some of the worst forms of sectarian and authoritarian politics. They helped undermine the emergence of a healthy relationship between students and others in American society who were becoming interested in alternative views of social, political and economic organization. In fact, at the time, some far more constructive activists had a hard time comprehending groups like the Weather Underground. Their tactics were so damaging that some on the left thought that government or right wing elements helped create them. There is some evidence, in fact, that that was true (for example, the Cointelpro effort of the federal government.)
Today, however, many of these individuals continue to hold political views that hardened in that period. Many of them have joined up with other wings of the late 60s and 70s movements, in particular the pro-China maoist elements of that era and are now playing a role in the labor movement and elsewhere. And yet this question of Obama’s links to people from this milieu has not been thoroughly explored by any of the many thousands of journalists, bloggers and political operatives looking so closely at Obama.
The most recent effort was by Jonathan Kaufman in the Wall Street Journal, who argued that a critical connection for Obama was his links to some in the wealthy and prominent Jewish community in Chicago. This article contains some important insights and is well worth reading. But, I think Kaufman gets it wrong.
So, who did “send” Obama? The key I think is his ties not to well connected uber lawyer Newton Minow, as Kaufman suggests, but more likely to the family of (in)famous former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers – not just Bill Ayers, but also Bill’s father Tom Ayers and his brother John as well.

***********************
On Friday Stephen Diamond sent me his latest post on his King Harvest blog, which detailed his interview with a retired postman, Alan Hulton. Mr Hulton claimed to have had a conversation with Barack Obama outside the home of William Ayers’s parents that Steve judged must have taken place in the mid-1980s.
Hulton’s account contains a startling claim that if true might place Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers much further back than he’s admitted to the press, and which at the least suggests Obama had more than a casual relationship with the Ayers family.
As I have mentioned many times on this blog, Steve Diamond’s professional credentials are impeccable. And his life-long involvement with Democratic and Leftist politics, and his native-born Chicagoan background, give tremendous weight to his analyses of Barack Obama, his Leftist associations, and the Chicago political mileu in which Obama moved.
What follows is my exchange with Steve after he asked what I thought of his post about Hulton.
“Steve:
I think Hulton’s account has merit; I doubt he’d have any reason to lie and he seems a credible witness. So, in light of all I know about the Ayers-Obama relationship, I am willing to give the account the benefit of the doubt.
Yet the account could be challenged by asking why Hulton’s memory wasn’t jogged earlier. Hadn’t he seen a photograph of Obama when he became a U.S. senator from Hulton’s home state and then became a national political figure even before the presidential run? .....
I haven’t been able to tie everthing together, but the Ford Foundation keeps showing up everywhere.
Maybe someone can uncover the links.
Bump for reference
The corporation that handled the security in the “Passport” breach was Ayers’ father’s company too. By “security”, I mean they went in afterward and “fixed” everything so “it couldn’t happen again.”
Hmmm, wonder what else they “fixed” while in there.
OHOHOHOH
I have said for several years now that I believed Frank Marshall Davis was the one who took the nude pictures of Obama’s mother when she was underage. Especially given the heavy african decorations and black musician records, not that whites didn’t listen to Nat King Cole and such, but they were ALL black musicians.
Anyway, I just read the other day that FMD ran a nude photography studio! I think that settles it in my mind. And if she 18, she must have already been a few months pregnant with Obama because she was pregnant with him at the end of her 17th year. She didn’t look even a couple months pregnant.
Hate to say this...but it’s too late now. They’re in the White House.
The list, ping
So exactly where was Bill Ayers the day the Deepwater Horizon blew up?
They could as easily dug down looking for all his sealed records and the B.C. and done a better job!!!
