I don't think it's a mistake to show Obama and Ayers got their hands on a philanthropist money (the Chicago Annenberg Challenge) and Obama used it to fund Ayers convoluted activism programs when it was meant to be used for education. The CRC's own reports say there was "over-reliance on community organizers with insufficient education expertise".

His alliance with Ayers shows the type of politics and programs Obama is game for: as Ayers says "communist with a small "c"".
