The Annenberg Records Will Show Obama’s Connection With Bill Ayers Was Direct and Substantive

RESIZE: AAA

If you haven’t paid attention to the coverup related to the Annenberg Challenge on Excellence in Education, you need to catch up.

This is a ticking time bomb for the Obama campaign. They are doing their best, through proxies, to stop the release of the Annenberg records from the University of Illinois Chicago (“UIC”).

Why?

Because as Rick Moran points out the release of the records will fatally undermine Obama’s narrative about his associations with Bill Ayers.

Thus far the media has been totally comfortable downplaying the fact that Barack Obama got his political start in the living room of Bill Ayers’ house at a fundraiser for Obama.

Should the Annenberg records be released, the media would be hard pressed to avoid a story they had previously covered from the angle that Obama had no substantial relations with Bill Ayers.

More here. Remember also David Axelrod’s statement to Ben Smith found here:

“Bill Ayers lives in his neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school,” he said. “They’re certainly friendly, they know each other, as anyone whose kids go to school together.”

Obama’s “pure as the driven snow despite the terrorists who love me” narrative would be destroyed with the release of the Annenberg records.

Contact the Richard J. Daley Library at 312-996-2724 and tell them to release the Annenberg Challenge files for public inspection.

Call Barack Obama at (202) 224-2854 and ask him to support the public release of the Annenberg Challenge files.

Of course, they’ll probably try to destroy the most damning of the records before the release.

    In 2001 Bill Ayers was momentarily provocative for the sake of selling copies of his book ?Fugitive Days?. Standing on the American flag and pronouncing they should have bombed more was not a sign of his radical nature, it was a sign that he had indeed sold out.

    Bill Ayers is a very not exciting person. And I believe that the Annenberg Records reflect this. The UIC is already providing us the best possible scenario by denying access to the files. The only way it could get better is if the UIC either breaks the law, destroys the records, or doth protest too much as to help focus the conspiracy theorists and public spot light on the Ayers Obama relationship. Other than that, it is 900+ folders of Robert?s Rules.

    Any chance that someone from Team McCain (or Team Hillary) has already accessed the records and is waiting for the right time (read: post-VP and post-convention) to drop the bomb? It WAS known that the connections ran deeper than divulged a long time ago, despite the MSM’s attempt to send it down the memory hole.

    I would reather be enlightened by the first 900 pages of the Annenberg records than by the UIC faculty and administration.

    I won’t hold my breath, Hillary and Bill still have yet to release records from their Arkansas power trip. The fact Obama is associated with a known terrorist is nothing new for the democratic party. Bill Clinton pardoned terrorists in his last year of office.
