Obama was not paid. He was the Chair of the Board of Directors, not the Executive Director. Bottum is a direct comparison because he took over when Obama stepped down. Where do you get this that Obama was a paid employee? Show me the cite. Mark–check you facts. Obama was not paid. He was the Chair of the Board of Directors, not the Executive Director.

Show me the cite.

No one said the group of people associated with the CAC are dangerous. The charge is programs that Bill Ayers decided to fund were dangerous given their political bent. I personally have put together committees where all you are trying to do is get someone to lend their name to the letterhead. All those you cite above had scant knowledge of what Ayres was using the money for. Their positions were unpaid and "letterhead place holders". They wanted their name associated with something big and a 50 million educational reform grant is pretty big and from the list above it looks like it did it's job attracting people who wanted to see their name on the letterhead. On the other hand, Obama was a paid employee and had direct knowledge of the operations and what "educational programs" were being funded. This also came up as an issue because Obama (to put it nicely) skewed the details of their relationship. One has to ask why? What did Obama fear in admitting on National TV during a debate in the primary that he worked for this guy instead of saying he was just a guy from my neighboorhood? Larry,
