Rush made the point that it is interesting that a man would allow a casual acquaintance to distribute $160 million dollars in grant money to schools in Chicago.

That's certainly getting a lot of trust from a man that Obama claims is " just a guy I know in the neighborhood."

I wonder what kind of accountability Mr. Ayers required of this near stranger?

Ayers wrote the grant proposal that secured seed money for the schools and ran the implementation arm of the project; Obama became chairman of the board that distributed the grants.
