A new book released today uncovers for the first time where and how
President Obama first met Weather Underground terrorist-group founder
William Ayers – and it is much earlier than previously believed.
The book reveals the two were brought together by a student of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, whose name, it has emerged,
was obscured in Obama's autobiography "Dreams from My Father."
The book exposes an extremist coalition of communists, socialists and other radicals working both inside and outside the administration
to draft and advance current White House policy goals.
With more than 800 citations, the brand new, autographed title from WND senior reporter and WABC Radio host Aaron Klein bills itself
as the most exhaustive investigation ever performed into Obama's
political background and radical ties. Klein's co-author is historian
and researcher Brenda J. Elliott.

Of all Obama's radical associates from the past, few received more attention or were as shocking as his connection to Ayers.
Until now, it has been known Obama launched his political career at a 1995 fundraiser in Ayers' Chicago apartment and that the two
served alongside each other from 1995 to 2000 on a
hundred-million-dollar education foundation, the Chicago Annenberg
Challenge.
Ayers was founder of the CAC; Obama was hired as the group's first chairman. CAC documents dug up during the 2008 presidential
campaign revealed Ayers was in a working group of five who assembled
the initial board of the CAC, which hired Obama. The documents also
revealed Obama and Ayers had a working relationship at the CAC.
However, those probing Obama were left to speculate exactly how Ayers was so familiar with him that he hired the future politician for
the CAC and hosted the 1995 fundraiser.
"Manchurian President"authors Klein and Elliott found that Obama worked directly with Ayers in 1988
and that the two were brought together by a radical Alinsky acolyte who
was trained by Alinsky himself.
The Weathermen founder earlier resurfaced after going underground amid multiple criminal charges related to his extremist
activities. The charges were dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct.
In 1988, in response to a Chicago summit that documented the poor quality of education in the city, Chicago United, a group founded
by Ayers' father, the late Thomas Ayers, formed a community advocacy
coalition called the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools, or ABC.
Thomas Ayers was the chairman and CEO of Commonwealth Edison.
When he created his ABCs Coalition in June 1988, Thomas Ayers included Obama in the coalition, Klein and Elliott found. Obama at the
time was director and lead organizer of the Developing Communities
Project, or DCP, an institutionally based community organization on
Chicago's Far South Side. Obama's first job in Chicago was his DCP
position.
The contact for the ABCs Coalition, on which Obama served, was none other than William Ayers himself, who at the time was at the
University of Illinois at Chicago
Klein and Elliott found documentation, cited in
"Manchurian," that Ayers started attending the ABCs Coalition's monthly meetings,
held over breakfasts of eggs, sausages, rolls, fruit, and coffee in a
conference room on the 57th floor of Chicago's First National Bank
downtown headquarters.
Obama disguised Alinsky radical?
Obama, meanwhile, took his DCP job in 1985. In "Dreams from My Father," Obama relates his first job in Chicago as a community
organizer and claims the name of his boss at DCP was "Marty Kaufman."
Kaufman, however, doesn't exist. The DCP chief at the time was actually Marty Kellman, who was trained by Alinsky himself, "The
Manchurian President" documents.
Additionally, Klein and Elliott document the DCP, with Obama as director, received two grants. One grant was for $40,000 in 1985 and
another for $33,000 in 1986 from the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development, a group that promoted Alinsky-style organizations, the
book says.
Write Klein and Elliott: "There can be no doubt, then, that Obama and Ayers were well-acquainted by 1988, brought together through
an acolyte of Alinsky.
"Perhaps this period serves as the missing link, providing background to understand how Ayers was so comfortable with Obama's
capabilities that he later would hire the future politician to head the
Chicago Annenberg Challenge, or CAC, a job Obama would in turn claim
had qualified him to run for public office."
Book uncovers radical nexus
Along with a chapter on Ayers, "The Manchurian President" includes an extensive investigation into Obama's own background. The
work uncovers, among many other things, Obama's early years, including
his previously overlooked early childhood ties to a radical, far-left
church connected to Ayers' ideology.
"The Manchurian President"also unmasks, exclusively, important aspects of Obama's carefully covered-up
college years, with new details of his student career at Occidental
College and later at Columbia University.
Obama's associations with the Nation of Islam, Black Liberation Theology and black political extremists are also revealed,
with extensive new information on the subjects.
Also detailed are Obama's deep ties to ACORN, which are much more extensive than previously documented elsewhere. The book crucially
describes how a socialist-led, ACORN-affiliated union helped facilitate
Obama's political career and now exerts major influence in the White
House.
"The Manchurian President" contains potentially explosive information not only about President Obama but also concerning other
officials in the White House, including top czars and senior advisers
Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod.
"The Manchurian President" also exposes how Obama's health-care policy, masked by moderate populist rhetoric, was pushed
along and partially crafted by extremists, some of whom reveal in their
own words that their principal aim is to achieve corporate socialist
goals and a vast increase in government powers.
"I believe this work is crucial to Americans from across the political spectrum," says Klein, "including mainstream Democrats who
should be alarmed that their party has been hijacked by an extreme-left
fringe bent on permanently changing the party to fit its radical
agenda.
"Indeed, this book will document, with new information, Obama's own involvement with a socialist party whose explicit goal was
to infiltrate and eventually take over the Democratic Party and mold it
into a socialist organization," Klein claims.
Klein began investigating Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign and broke major national stories. He first exposed the
politician's association with Ayers in a widely circulated WND article.
The story prompted the Nation magazine to lament, via the CBS News website, that "mainstream reporters now call the Obama campaign to
ask about Klein's articles."
It was in a WABC Radio interview with Klein that Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to Hamas, "endorsed" Obama for president,
generating world headlines and sparking controversy. Republican
presidential nominee Sen. John McCain and Obama repeatedly traded
public barbs over Hamas' positive comments.
Klein was among the first reporters to expose that Obama's "green jobs" czar, Van Jones, founded a communist organization and
called for "resistance" against the U.S. government. The theme was
picked up and expanded upon by the Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck,
leading to Jones' resignation last September.
Co-author Brenda J. Elliott is a historian, author and investigative researcher known for her blogging during the 2008
presidential election about Ayers, Tony Rezko and other controversial
figures linked to Obama. Since 1988, Elliott has been responsible for a
number of historical projects, has won an award by Project Censored for
her work and has been named "One of the Intriguing People" by Central
Florida magazine.
The introduction to "The Manchurian President" relates: "Barack Obama is backed by and deeply tied to an anti-American fringe
nexus that, as this book will show, was instrumental not only in
mentoring Obama and helping him to build his political career, but
essentially in overthrowing the moderate wing of the Democratic Party
and in securing and powerfully influencing Obama's presidency.
"As will be seen, these radical associates not only continue to influence Obama and White House strategy, but some are directly
involved in creating the very policies intended to undermine or
radically transform the United States of America.".
