Chapter seven of seven. F. “New Politics” In OId Wineskin Obama’s supporters like to shift the conversation away from his record at all costs and focus on his campaign. One of the principal themes of that campaign has been his……

Good food for thought.

If you google Annenberg Challenge + Stanley Kurtz (a writer for the National Review who has been researching Obama’s role), you’ll find lots of information about this subject. Or you can go to Michelle Malkin’s website (michellemalkin.com) and read her articles, which contain lots of links to additional information. Don’t miss the 8-28-08 article on how Obama’s thugs have been trying to discredit Kurtz and keep him from being heard.

It’s not surprising that the Chicago Annenberg Challenge under Obama’s leadership was a complete failure (or that Obama leaves it off his resume). Obama authorized money for important educational initiatives such as funding a “Juneteenth” (freeing of slaves) celebration, but refused a request for funds to support a program to improve math and science skills.

Obama’s superior “judgment” in action — and probably a preview of coming attractions if this race-obsessed “post-racial” candidate is elected.

but as volunteers, not paid employees, so that’s cool

Yeah, I don’t like that either.
These guys have more money than time. I don’t see how giving Obama free time makes Obama (theoretically) less beholden to them. Why should they not want anything in exchange for their efforts?

“The Research Consortium responsible for assessing the impact of the expenditure of the Challenge’s grant money concluded that the $110 million spent in Chicago over six years had little or no impact on outcomes for students.”

In other words, $100 million spent – with nothing tangible to show for it.

Q.#1 – Where did the $$$$ go? ANSWER: By way of “grants” to neighborhood activist groups, i.e. “community organizers” for such thing as salary and other overhead expenses. Sure as hell didn’t go to for the benefit of the school system. Just ask University of Illinois (at Chicago)

Q. #2 – Have you ever noticed Obama NEVER refers to his Annenberg Challenge chairmanship as an example of his ‘Executive Experience’?….Jeez, I wonder why not!

If the Repubs don’t bring this up during this election cycle – let’s all go home and wait for 2012

Caiaphas was a law professor; Jesus was a torture victim survivor.

Sounds a little better.

OT: Here’s a page that has a live feed of the Palin rally today in The Villages. The rally is already in progress. Palin is scheduled to speak at 3 PM eastern time.

Now if someone can just link to the video of Biden singing “The Villages”.

I am guessing she would have voted for Hillary if given the choice. And then after Hillary lost and was defeated, she would have eaten her (read the article).

Are they going to be pit bulls or toy pomeranians?

Just a reminder: Obama’s a hypocrite on lobbyist money
