It was a simple matter of the agency being enamoured of the concept. The concept being the ‘journey in black and white’ from a Kenyan birth to the President of the Harvard Law Review.
Not everything is a conspiracy. The agency simply fell in love w their Kenyan-born, mixed-race Harvard law sensation, and made one fatal miscalculation. They didn’t think a person could become president of the Harvard Law Review sans writing ability. You can’t really blame them for that. Obama was the first, and probably last, talentless president of that publication.
“They didn’t think a person could become president of the Harvard Law Review sans writing ability.”
Now that is a very astute comment. Thank you for the cogent explanation. It makes perfect sense. How were they to know that he wasn’t qualified for the job? They’re as guilty as the media, which also didn’t “vet” Obama.
So it was Bill Ayers to the rescue. Maybe the publisher even hooked them up, but it’s more likely that Obama knew Ayers from their days living in the same ‘hood in New York, when Obama was at Columbia and Ayers was at Bank Street College with Obama’s girlfriend Genevieve Cook.
