Ayers & The Case of The One's Missing Girlfriends

Jack Cashill is filling in the blanks again, after the revelations and curious omissions of our President Barack Obama's latest biographer. It's not so easy to paper over all the questions when you don't write the bio yourself...or dream it up:

If Obama's friend nicely fills the Circe role, then she is almost surely grounded in the real-life person of Diana Oughton, Ayers' lover who was killed in a 1970 Greenwich Village bomb factory blast. Ayers was obsessed with Oughton. In Fugitive Days, he fixes on her in ways that had to discomfit the woman that he eventually married, their fellow traveler in the Weather Underground, Bernardine Dohrn.

Physically, the woman of Obama's memory, with her "dark hair, and specks of green in her eyes," evokes images of Oughton.

I wonder if that's why Bill Ayers talked to me?:)

As her FBI files attest, Oughton had brown hair and green eyes. The two women share similar family backgrounds as well. In fact, they seem to have grown up on the very same estate.

According to a Time Magazine article written soon after her death, Oughton "brought Bill Ayers and other radicals" to the family homestead in Dwight, Illinois.

Fascinating.

Here's more about the historic home.

P.S. At least Michelle can't be jealous of Barack's imaginary friend.
