[Rhodes22-list] ... failure of leadership or leading ...

[Brad Haslett]

Ed,

Obama intentionally and cynically has misled the public about his
relationship with Ayers.  This issue isn't going away and it shouldn't
go away.  Speculation is strong and the evidence is growing that the
Obama and Ayers relationship goes all the way back to Obama's days in
NYC at Columbia (Ayers was there at the same time and they were both
friends of Dr. Saed) and that Ayers actually ghost authored Obama's
first book (the word count and sentence structure mirrors Ayer's
writing and was written at a 12th grade level, Obama's second book was
written at a 9th grade level).  But let's forget speculation for a
moment and stick with what is known.  I'm posting a link instead of
the article so you can see the photo.

We know from tax returns from the Annenberg Challenge that Obama,
Ayers, and Klonsky all had offices on the same floor of the same
building. Michelle and Ayers' wife both worked at the same law firm.
Obama and Ayers appeared at joint speaking engagements (which by the
way, Illinois ethics law prohibits receiving fees for speaking but
Obama's tax returns show "speaker fees" during the period he was in
the Illinois Senate, another MSM oversight).

"Just a guy in my neighborhood with a degree in English"

That was willful intent to decieve and the MSM has for the most part
let him get away with it.

The man is a liar, if he were on trial he would certainly be guilty of
perjury - and he may well be, soon.
