Ayers Subterfuge

Obama Confidante Bill Ayers Confirms Role in Obama Circle

A Flashback -- I'm playing two-man football in the backyard with my friend, and first-grade classmate Pat Stack.  He has a firm grasp of my leg, and is about to throw me to the ground when I cry in anguish," Oh-- ! Stop Pat. Stop.  My Leg!"  He lets go, and  I scamper to a touchdown.  A moment later my mom, who had been watching from  the kitchen window of our Chicago two-flat, called me in to chastise me for my detestable subterfuge. Be a man, she instructed. Ayers Subterfuge “ How about that? No sooner than the voting was finally underway and Bill Ayers surfaces from the Hyde Park underground for...."spontaneous" simultaneous interviews with the Washington Post and The New Yorker...no doubt part of the rehabilitation effort necessary to enable the Obama confidante open access to the White House. As might be expected, Ayers attempted to minimize his connection with Obama despite the extensive record and despite the fact that Obama himself told the media that they were in touch as recently as early 2007. But the New Yorker notes something the Post glossed over: Ayers says his contacts with "the Obama circle" continued until "his name became part of the campaign maelstrom." Now the "maelstrom" really only began a few weeks ago when Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin accused Obama of "palling around with terrorists," which indeed was one focus of the interviews today. -- [Global Labor and Politics] ” Ayers' can't quite keep his story squared. He asserted that  he knew Obama only slightly, and “my relationship with Obama was probably like that of thousands of others in Chicago and, like millions and millions of others, I wished I knew him better.”  Provably, the blackest of lies, and what one expects from any Marxist. .
