Open Thread * Obama Can Try to Run But He Can’t Hide

While Sarah Palin continues her assault on Obama’s lies about his extensive, long-term associations with Bill Ayers, the Obama campaign is madly scrambling and is now claiming that, in the mid-1990s, Obama had no knowledge of Bill Ayers’ background. See The Page‘s story, “Axelrod Says Obama Was In the Dark.”
If any of you believe that, I’ve got a mansion you can’t afford to sell you. But, I know that you know that makes no sense at all.
One blog has gone to a great deal of effort to explore the contemporaneous news atmosphere circa mid-1990s in the Chicago area, where both Obama and Ayers resided at the time, and to point out that it is impossible for Obama not to have been aware.
Check out Red State’s “In 1996, Media Coverage of Bill Ayers Was Too Extensive to Believe Obama Did Not Know Who Ayers Was.”
ALSO: Stay tuned for Steve Diamond’s latest devastating attack on the New York Times’s failure to report the full Obama/Ayers story … we’re posting it soon …
What else is going on today? The markets don’t look too hot.
OPEN THREAD!

P.S. About that “mansion you can’t afford,” see especially these stories:
- “How to Buy a Mansion You Can’t Afford”
- “Be My Friend, Godfather”
- “The Skinny on the Obamas’ Home Loan”
- and more here that are all must-reads, including Un coup de pas’s stories, “I Adore Carol Marin of the Chicago Sun-Times” and “Recently Unsealed Court Documents Confirm Obama Heavily Embroiled in Rezko Case.”
