When did Obama First Meet Bill Ayers?

[JimBowie1958]

Obama and Ayers were not on the board together.

The bipartisan board of directors, which did not include Ayers, elected Obama chairman, and he served in that capacity from 1995 to 1999, awarding grants for projects and raising matching funds. Ayers headed up a separate arm of the group, working with grant recipients. According to another board member, Ayers "was not significantly involved with the challenge after Obama was appointed." One possible reason had little to do with Obama himself, but instead was related to cautions about conflicts of interest; the group was funding some of Ayers’ own alternative school projects.

None of which means that they did not know each other, and instead suggest that they had met, just like Obama had met Thomas Ayers, Bill's father.

Poor edtheshylock, the facts are plain that OBama was familiar with and knew Bill Ayers prior to 1995.

As sure as Thomas hired Obama to ghostwrite Bill's books they met before 1995.

A total bullshit statement.

Do you break out in hives if you have to stop and think honestly about something?

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THEY MET!

The thread is about when they met.

Really dude I've posted links in this thread that states otherwise.

Libtards like to bleet the mantra that Obama did not meet Bill Ayers until 1995, then try to make other claims based on that, but do we really know what date they first met?

A couple of facts contrary to the 1995 date:

1) Michelle Obama worked at the law firm Sidley Austin after she graduated in 1988 where she met her future husband, Barak.

Michelle Obama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin, where she first met her future husband. "

Guess who else worked at Sidley Austin?

Bernardine Dohrn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"From 1984 to 1988, Dohrn was employed by the prestigious Chicago law firm Sidley Austin [29] where she was hired by Howard Trienens, the head of the firm at that time, who knew Thomas G. Ayers, the father of Dohrn's husband. "We often hire friends," Trienens told a reporter for the Chicago Tribune.....In 1991, she was hired by Northwestern University School of Law, as an adjunct professor of law with the title "Clinical Associate Professor of Law"."

So we are to believe that Dorm just sat at home watching Oprah and eating bon-bons?

No, she continued her affiliation while she tried to become a lawyer and undoubtedly knew Barrack and Michelle.

Dorm is Bill Ayers wife.

2) Barak knew Thomas Ayers (Bill Ayers father) while both served on the "Leadership Council of the Chicago Education Fund from 1988.

Ayers, Dorn, Daley, Rezko... They have cleverly fashioned politics in the windy city after 1920's Chicago gangsters and the Roaring Twenties.

And Obama has taken it nationwide with Obamacare.

Or you could just read the first post in this thread, idiot.

It is noticeable that you go on and on about Corsi and totally ignore references from Frank Synauth's book the Making of a President, you stupid whore.

I was hard pressed to find a review for Frank Senauth, but I finally found one -

Poorly written

I purchased this book for my sixth grade students to use in their research papers. It is so poorly written that I will not offer it to them as an optional source. I stress strong writing skills in my class and it is difficult for me to understand how a manuscript so poorly written could even get published.



This is a pretty piss-poor reference to use to solidify your argument.

Did you read any of the book you posted? This would have never made it past a real editor ... was this an E-book?

Lol, yeah anonymous comments are always so reliable. I have read parts of the book but it did get some good reviews.

I did misspell the author's name, so my bad.

Books by Frank Senauth (Author of Earthquake - Tsunami - Disaster in Japan 2011)

Sears.com

THE MAKING OF A PRESIDENT FRANK SENAUTH This fascinating book of love and laughter was written especially for His Excellency, President Barack Hussein Obama, the 44 President of the United States of America. He is trying his best to improve the economy and making the United States a better place to live. Bless him Frank Senauth was fascinated for the last three years by the tremendous love and laughter of the Obamas' family. Frank knew he had to start from the beginning until he reached somewhere near to the end, but he knew the end of his story would continue until the end. President Obama knew where he wanted to go. He refused large salaries. His great mind was centered on the President's job and destiny would prove this. His dreams would come true, but on the whole he won't know when he would be able to reach his destiny. The Making of a President is a gripping life and death story which is guaranteed to set the reader's pulse alight. Frank Senauth has managed once again to produce an exciting and enthralling roller-coaster read.

A totally pro-Obama book, roflmao.

Are you aware that neither of your links provides a review for The Making of a President? One has a rating, by one person, without a review. The other has no ratings or reviews at all.

The text you quote is not a review of the book but rather appears to be the promotional summary. A quite poor one, I might add.

If politifact says that Obama and Ayers were on the SAME board, then yes they are liars and that is exactly why you chose them.

Ayres did not sit on the board that Obama chaired and from the period of 1995 to 2001, and their only contact at the board meetings was the six times Ayers gave a report to the board.

?He Lied? About Bill Ayers?

According to the New York Times, the documents show the two attended just six board meetings together, Obama as chairman and Ayers to inform the board on grantees and other issues.

The source for the politifact lie was Clinton with absolutely nothing to support it. Factcheck, on the other hand, had three (3) news organizations, The Chicago Tribune, the New York Times and United Press International who checked all the board records and found politifact and Clinton lied.

You, of course, take the hearsay of a political opponent over the verifiable facts!

Keep up with what? All we have to go on are your very non-specific C&P's and the smatterings of insults from the OP.

Bill Ayers himself, has said that he barely knew Obama and that he did NOT know him before 1995.



Ben LaBolt

“The suggestion that Ayers was a political adviser to Obama or someone who shaped his political views is patently false,” said Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman. Mr. LaBolt said the men first met in 1995 through the education project, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and have encountered each other occasionally in public life or in the neighborhood. He said they have not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Mr. Obama began serving in the United States Senate in January 2005 and last met more than a year ago when they bumped into each other on the street in Hyde Park

Thank you for proving the dishonesty of the Right yet again.

It wasn't "JUST" Bill Ayers - dozens of other people have said the same thing.

Who says again that they knew each other BEFORE 1995?

Yes they would; just as millions HATE him and will "go along" with any kind of made-up propaganda in order to discredit and smear him.

I try to keep an opened mind, but I will usually reserve judgement until I see or hear otherwise.

In this case, I have never seen any concrete evidence to support some kind of "Obama gets his orders from Bill Ayers" scenario.

It's crap.

ANYONE can dismiss a source out of hand. You can do that with ANY source.

Why not instead, show us where the source was wrong - if they lied, expose the lie for what it is.

Dismissing it is nothing put an attempt to derail the conversation and NOT discus it - which, I surmise is why you are dismissive of anything that you don't agree with in the first place.
