Obama Has A Friend That Can't Dance
This is a picture of Obama's close associate Bill "Bomber" Ayers. He looks so wimpy for a bomber. Let me see if I can decipher the captions. Let me start with the top one. The group was dealing with the past with a kind of amnesia about violent actions. Bill Ayers recollected his adventurous violence with practical jokes. "Guilty as hell, free as a bird, it's a great country", he said. He also said his three sons were incredulous to hear that Bill had burned his draft card to protest the Vietnam War. "Burned your credit card"? asked one little boy. "Man, I'm not that stupid", Bill said.Next the bottom caption. Bill Ayers, August 2001, former Weatherman, stomps on U.S. flag. As a result of their friendship with Kathy Boudin and Dave Gilbert, Bill and Bernadine Dhorn raised Chesa Boudin.Here is a little background on the lovelies. Kathy Boudin's former "Weatherbureau" colleagues, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, now luminaries of Chicago's academic life, have been responsible for little Chesa since his mummy and daddy were locked up. Ayers, an admitted bomber, now is a professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago's School of Education; and Dohrn is director of the Legal Clinic's Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University. This select Weather family lives in Chicago's comfortable Hyde Park section and has every reason to be proud of Chesa Boudin.No mention of an Obama connection. But the article was from Dec. 2002 before Obama became a star. (Leave a comment if you have something interesting on an Obama connection).

AJ, The Dennis Hutchinson connection between Obama, Chesa Boudin, and Bill Ayers is as yet not well explored. M. Simon · May 5, 2008 11:55 AM No mention of an Obama connection. But the article was from Dec. 2002 before Obama became a star. (Leave a comment if you have something interesting on an Obama connection). Perhaps that's because there isn't much of a connection? ChenZhen · May 5, 2008 05:31 PM Chen, Obama knew Ayers well. He was an instructor at the law school. The odds are pretty good Obama had something to do with it. I do have some people working on it. We will know in a few days if there is anything to know. Simon M. Simon · May 5, 2008 05:54 PM |

Nothing beyond the usual circle of friends analysis between Obama, Ayers, Davis, Khalidi, Abunimah, Pfleger, Rezko... they all do travel in similar circuits around each other. Auchi is the well connected outsider, which predates all but Ayers and Dhorn, et. al. as he was helping to set up Saddam's Al Mahdi network of banking and industrial contacts in that era, so little chance he had much interaction with such far flung individuals pre-1980. Mind you, can't say that he *didn't* have interaction with Khalidi while Khalidi was on the payroll of the PLO, just no evidence of it.
