Barack & Michelle Obama Worked with Bill Ayers

Close-up on juvenile justice

William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court (Beacon Press, 1997), says "We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn't suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?"

Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system

Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

Bill Ayers Stomping on the American Flag.

Before we start this post the picture above is of Bill Ayers stomping on the American flag. This is not a picture of the 60's or 70's it is when he was 55 years old in August 2001. This is a guy who just lives in Barack and Michelle Obama's neighborhood, half a block away..


So what did Sarah Palin say about Senator Barack Obama? "Our opponent, though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin told supporters at a $1,000-a-plate fund raiser in Englewood. "Americans need to know this."

All told, Ayers and Weatherman were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S. "I don't regret setting bombs, said Ayers in 2001, "I feel we didn't do enough."

In 1970, Ayers' then-girlfriend Diana Oughton, along with Weatherman members Terry Robbins and Ted Gold, were killed when a bomb they were constructing exploded unexpectedly. That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plan been successfully executed. Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, "tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too."

If Bill Ayers was so bad how did he get out of this? In 1980 the two surrendered, but all charges against them were dropped due to an "improper surveillance" technicality. "Guilty as sin, free as a bird, America is a great country." How does bill Ayers feel about the United States? "What a country," Ayers said in 2001. "It makes me want to puke."

So does Barack Obama have a relationship with Bill Ayers? Barack says no but he has issued a petition to the Department of Justice requesting a criminal investigation of the "American Issues Project," the organization through which the ads are financed. A criminal investigation? This is how Obama is trying to silence his opposition.

Barack Obama makes bad choices when it come to his friends. He might make bad choices when it comes to the United States.
