But, in 1981 he was a smart assed 20 year old little Bolshevik. He probably was not yet aware what Ayers was going to put together for him 10 years later so he wouldn’t be thinking about that legacy so much yet.
I agree with you about his laziness, but there are lots of ways he could have participated without being an actual direct actor.
He could have hidden them away in a safe house. He could have been sent to scout the brinks activity at that location. He might have made them smores and hot chocolate.
remember he was a homo and a doper. He would do anything for cash and blow.
But he was a radical communist, in the right location and time. Sure is food for thought that he would have found them, because he sure found Bill Ayers.
Oh, I'm not denying it. There's no doubt in my mind that he could have been involved, and that he would have been involved if he had gotten the opportunity.
And he was in the area, and his record has been scrubbed and/or buried.
If it happened, I hope it comes out. Things of that sort almost always do, eventually. A lot of people would have known about it... sooner or later one of them will say something.
The perfectness of the deep-sixing of Obama's past record is really thought-provoking, I'll grant that. The fact that no one remembers even seeing him at Columbia during his time there makes me think maybe he wasn't really there.
