Stanley Kurtz’s articles today on NRO and in the Wall Street Journal are must reads. Three takeaways:

* Obama had a long-term working relationship with William Ayers.

* The Chicago Annenberg Challenge (“CAC”), the only executive experience on Obama’s resume, was an objective failure despite the expenditure of millions of dollars.

* Through the CAC, Ayers and Obama financed radical organizations, including one with a history of engaging in voter fraud.

Stanley’s work is a challenge to mainstream journalists. A candidate for the presidency has a demonstrated working relationship with — indeed funded — an unrepentant terrorist, yet the media have spent more time reporting about Sarah Palin’s hair styles.
