CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Obama ‘Doesn't Have an Affiliation with ACORN’

Toobin must not be watching his own network, for CNN investigative correspondent Drew Griffin outlined on October 6 how 'the relationship between Obama and Ayers went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said,' including how the two worked together on the board of the Annenberg Challenge Project and the Woods Foundation, and how Obama’s political career began during a meeting at Ayers’s house.
