I think the missing link goes back to college.
The arab that is suspected of funding bho’s college had links to the black panthers which had links to ayers.
I believe that is why we do not hear about the college years, maybe bho and ayers were roomies.
You may well be right. Obama and Ayers were both at Columbia at the same time. They apparently lived within a few blocks of each other.
But neither has admitted to knowing the other at the time. And both steadfastly refuse to discuss their experiences while at Columbia.
So far as the MSM is concerned, Columbia is a "no-go zone".
At that time, however, Ayers was certainly in a position to recommend Obama to Malouf...
