Re: University won't open Obama-related records now

The AP is reporting the University will make the papers available on Tuesday.

Quote:
WASHINGTON - The University of Illinois said Friday it is releasing records of Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit organization linked to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

Supporters of John McCain have been trying to exploit the tie between Obama and Ayers, with a conservative group spending $2.8 million on an ad focusing on Ayers. Ayers' Weatherman group took credit for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an organization that Obama chaired and that Ayers co-founded, will be made available to the public Tuesday, the University of Illinois at Chicago said in a statement.
Based on the lack of coverage of this issue by the MSM it will be interesting to see what the papers reveal and how the MSM will spin it. I suspect Obama's extensive relationship with Ayers will be treated as no big deal, and that says much about the course our country is on.
