Blogosphere doing MSM’s job again (Updated)
Some great bloggers have uncovered interesting info over the past couple of days.
Verum Serum uncovered that the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (during Obama’s tenure as chair) was in the same office building and on the same floor as Bill Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop. Another group tied to Bill Ayers, the Chicago Forum for School Change, was also located at the same address, although it might not have been at the same time as Obama’s CAC office was housed there. The building was owned by University of Illinois (Ayers’ employer) before it was sold to the Chicago Parks Department in 2006. There’s another great thread here. One of the commenters went to the building to take pictures (it is scheduled to be demolished).
At least Obama told the truth about one thing — he and Ayers were neighbors, a fact Ayers mentioned in his book. Ex-guest blogger see-dubya over at Michelle Malkin’s site took the time to read Ayers’ book, and he found Obama’s name in it along with Ayers’ other list of neighbors. And what does a neighbor do for his neighbor? Why, he writes a review for for his neighbor’s book!
And the rumor that Ayers babysat Obama’s kids is still floating out there. However, the source was supposedly scared away by the smearing of Joe Wurzelbacher, so we may never hear that story.
Update: Two of Obama’s minions have denied that Obama blurbed Ayers’ book. I guess that picture is of Obama’s doppelganger, also named Barack Obama, also a state senator.
