Ayers STILL hasn't been reported. How many people in the country understand that Obama got his first big break from Ayers, the chairmanship of the Annenburg Challege Foundation, and worked with him often for five years, giving away over 100 million dollars? to achieve no improvement in Chicago schools?

Not one in one hundred, I would bet. The rest accept the MSM story: connecting Ayers with Obama is "guilt by association."

Perhaps as the details of the various hard-left organizations who got the money emerge (we already know that Ayers himself and Project ACORN were recipients), along with details of excellent non-political projects that were rejected, people may begin to understand why Obama never mentions this important position on his resume.

Had this effort produced results and not been tainted by its Ayers connection, I would have expected it to be showcased as a prime example of Obama's care for poor children & expertise on education. In fact, had it merely been mediocre, I would have expected it to be prominent on his resume, which is hardly overcrowded. For it to be buried as thoroughly as the Obama campaign has tried to bury it (even to trying to shout down researcher Stanley Kurtz' preliminary findings and smear Kurtz in advance) strongly suggests that they understand that this whole project is radioactive.
