That post was a total crock. His money line: Thus, while Ayers may not have suggested the Obama name directly to Leff, only Ayers could approve of the appointment of Obama. No one else possessed the legal power to do so. Except for the fact that by the time that Obama was selected, there was already a board in place. That board selected Obama. He goes on: 10) To accept the story 14 years later of the Times and the Obama campaign requires us to conclude that Leff, unilaterally against her own board of directors (which in November added Obama), went around the back of Bill Ayers to impose on him secretly Barack Obama as the chair of the Annnenberg Challenge! It has nothing to do with "going around the back of anyone." The board picked Obama, and Ayers doesn't get a say at all if the board doesn't want him to have one. I run a not-for-profit. My board can add board members and change its chair when it wants, without my approval. I get no say unless they decide to involve me. This guy has zero understanding of how this stuff works. -Z
