University of Illinois to Release Obama Records (Bill Ayers, Annenberg Challenge)

The University of Illinois said Friday it is releasing records of Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit organization linked to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

Supporters of John McCain have been trying to exploit the tie between Obama and Ayers, with a conservative group spending $2.8 million on an ad focusing on Ayers. Ayers' Weatherman group took credit for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an organization that Obama chaired and that Ayers co-founded, will be made available to the public Tuesday, the University of Illinois at Chicago said in a statement.

Wonder if they were getting some heat from the alumnus and decided this made them look a little too partisan.

IIRC, there was 23 linear feet of documentation if stacked end-to-end. Probably only about 1.24 linear feet by now.

Excerpted records? Heavily redacted records? Partial records?

Hmmm....

Maybe Obama wasn't really on vacation in Hawaii.

Maybe he got on an SR-71 and flew covertly to Illinois to remove records while everyone was looking for him in Hawaii.......

I'm kidding about the SR-71, but who says Obama did not have a chance to remove records? If he's elected, maybe he will trip on the box in his closet.

Let’s make everyone aware that we are talking about TRAITORS and TERRORISTS who banded together with our enemies in time of war:

# July, 1969 – Members Bernardine Dohrn, Eleanor Raskin, Dianne Donghi, Peter Clapp, David Millstone and Diana Oughton travel to Cuba and meet representatives of the North Vietnamese and Cuban governments.

# August 1969 – Weatherman member Linda Sue Evans travels to North Vietnam. Weatherman activists meet in Cleveland, Ohio, in preparation for “Days of Rage” protests scheduled for October, 1969 in Chicago.

See #18.

Ayers was a rotten punk in the WMU and an even rottener punk at Illinois U. I can't believe we have a presidential candidate that is closely associated with this creep and nearly half of America is prepared to vote for him....then again most of America does not know about Ayers and Obama/Ayers, but they soon will.....I hope.....

Why the sudden change of heart...did they get a call from Clinton Inc.?

Perhaps the Obama team has had enough time to scrub the records clean.

And this one, too:

# July, 1974 – The WUO releases the book Prairie Fire, in which they indicate the need for a unified Communist Party. They encourage the creation of study groups to discuss their ideology, and continue to stress the need for violent acts. The book also admits WUO responsibility of several actions from previous years. The Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC) arises from the teachings in this book and is organized by many former WUO members.
