What the reporters are likely to find out--okay, I'm guessing here--is that Obama's ties to the unrepentant terrorist than he has said. In short, he could be caught lying.
Or the journalists might discover some far-Left, out of the mainstream views expressed by Obama. If that is the case, what they uncover could be the most damaging political revelation since the release of the "smoking gun" Watergate tape in 1974 that led to Richard Nixon's resignation a week later.
Clarification: I am not claiming Obama is or has been engaged in anything illegal.
Actually, what's been learned about Obama's ties to Ayers are already more extensive than what he has let on. To him, Ayers is more that "a guy who lives in my neighborhood."
USA Today documents Obama's links to that "guy."
•In 1995, Ayers hosted a brunch for Obama, who was running for the Illinois Senate.
The ad says this meeting launched Obama's political career. Quentin Young, a physician who was there, says it was a typical Hyde Park event and to imply otherwise is "guilt by simultaneously being in the same place."
(My note--but Dr. Young, Ayers is an unrepentant ex-terrorist!)
•In 1997, they were on a juvenile justice panel sponsored by the University of Chicago. They were on a 2002 panel on intellectualism that was co-sponsored by the Chicago Public Library.
•In 1997, the Chicago Tribune published a blurb from Obama about books he was reading. Obama said he was reading Ayers' A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court.
•From 1999-2002, both men were on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago foundation that makes grants to arts and civic groups. Obama left the board in 2002; Ayers remains on it.
Laura Washington, chairwoman of the Woods Fund board, says suggestions of close ties are "an attempt to demonize Bill as a way of damaging Barack Obama."
(My note: In addtition to her work as a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, Washington is an editor for In These Times, an extreme-Left publication founded by a former Communist, the late James Weinstein.)
•Ayers gave $200 to Obama's 2001 state Senate campaign.
We'll be hearing a lot about "that guy" in the next few days.

The president and vice president of the United States of America have been caught lying about weapons of mass destruction and alleged ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda to justify their illegal, immoral, and unnecessary war in Iraq that has wasted 100s of billions of dollars and led to the deaths of 10s of thousands of innocent civilians (both are conservative estimates).
Why don't you write something about that?
Define "lie" as you use it here, anon.

Yeah!Kick 'em in the Nutz! . . . wait . . . all the Nutz are in Denver.
Anonymous--Better question: Why don't you create your own blog and write about it, instead of criticizing the author of this one for not writing about what you want him to write about?
In the interim, go read Stephen Hayes' book about all of the connections between radical Islamists and Saddam Hussein.
The first person to make a comment mentioned 'why not write about the failure to find weapons of mass destruction and the failure of Bush to find them in Iraq'
It has amazed me how much mileage that the democrats have made with this line to all those folks who don't care to look at the full set of facts.
The invasion of Iraq was authorized by the UN which cited about 27 items in a writ of particulars, and only ONE, the weapons of mass destruction, has to-date not been proven. The US was joined by Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Japan, Poland, Ukraine, and many others. (not a Bush invasion).
So if Gacy had been charged with murder of one young male, and they couldn't find the body of that person, I guess the democrats would argue to have him released from custody?? I doubt it - this is just a simpleton Goebbels type hammer halftruth, hammer halftruth, hammer halftruth effort to mold the minds of the lemmings - who unfortunately are often voters.
It is because of the likes of Ayers and like ilk in the field of education that public education is filled with and focused on all this 'social justice' nonsense. After completion of 8th grade in public schools, my daughter knew who Sojourner Truth was, also Bethune, Mandella, and Frederick Douglas. She did not know who John Adams, James Madison, or James Monroe was! She knew that Jefferson wrote the Declaration and had sex with a slave, but did not know that he was president. Maybe if Lewis and Clark had been gay, she would have known that.

Nothing like the small mind of ignorant right-wingers. Their small brains cannot handle any sort of critical thinking or questioning of their views. Why have a comment section at all? Simply to receive the praise of others with such a limited view of the world?
Actally anon, I thought the comments section of the blog was to further efforts to understand and bring all of us together.
To that end, could you address my comment?
Or are you too "small minded"?
Notice I didn't call you ignorant, you twit.
Anon-
Your logic (or lack thereof) is truly dizzying.
