The Secret Scrapbook

My early mentor “Frank” in Hawaii. Pity the neocons found out who it really was!

Here’s my original registration at my first school in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has my old name (Barry Soetoro) with my religion listed as Islam. Go figure.

My grass roots organizing days, training ACORN (note: I don’t condone trading crack cocaine for votes – “aggressive” voter registration: yes, crack: no).

At the beginning of my political career. I was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America’s New Party and got a great endorsement from them. Stepping stones, baby, stepping stones! And, truly, we all know wealth redistribution is the only economic model that works.

My first sugar daddy — Tony Rezko – in the early years. And to think I used to consider 250 grand a lot of dough!

The education guru, Bill Ayers! Thank goodness no one ever figured out that he named me the Chairman of the Annenberg Challenge before the political “coming out party” at his and Bernadine’s house!

Here’s me and Jimmy Hoffa (the son, silly, I was only 9 when his Dad disappeared!)

My spiritual mentor, Jeremiah, who always gets the crowd riled up! (Of course, I never heard any of it — heh — I tend to doze in church!)

Me and Michie at the Arab-American Action Network dinner with Ed Said (hey, he’s no longer a member of the PLO, ’cause he’s dead!)

Boy, this church newsletter caused me some problems! Jeremiah published this Hamas editorial and I heard no end of grief.

My buddy the Rev. James Meeks (I know he’s a gay-basher, but he mixes a great martini!)

This is from my trip to Kenya in ’96 where I supported my cousin Raila Odinga. He was also running for office. He’s a great guy who wants to bring order back to the country (I know so because he signed an argreement to bring Taliban-style Sharia law to Kenya to settle everyone down)!

Two community organizers make good!

Back in Kenya!

Here’s ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick — he’s in a bit of legal trouble, but I included this photo ‘cuz it shows my favorite teleprompter.

I hate that b***h!

BFF!

The pic of Ayers standing on the flag makes my blood boil, that ungrateful POS.

Great collection to thread together, Director.

And the potential for expansion is without limit: Bernadine Dohrn, Frank Marshal Davis, Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi, and on and on and on…

Our bho has been a busy boy from the get go. This ‘scrapbook’ should wake people up if they bother to look at it.

Rev. Meeks has called the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) a gang:

“Chicago Public Schools have a gang problem. The gang, however, is not the BDs (Black Disciples), the gang is not the GDs (Gangster Disciples), the gang is not the Vice Lords and the gang is not the Four Corner Hustlers. The gang is the Chicago Teachers Union.”
– State Sen. James T. Meeks, D-Chicago, chair of the Illinois Senate’s Education Committee, Oct. 17, 2009.

Not sure how this will fly in a friendly game of hoops with Obama and Duncan. Furthermore, Meek’s made the statement at a Rainbow PUSH Coalition gathering. No mention if Rev. Jesse Jackson was there with or without a hot mic.

The CTU was so mad they “overwhelmingly passed a resolution admonishing Meeks and halting CTU campaign donations to him until he apologizes.” But Meeks seems to be going rogue:

Meeks told the Tribune editorial board late Wednesday that the threat of such financial pressures explains why “legislators won’t speak out against the atrocities of the Chicago Teachers Union. . . . I’m finding where every dollar is they’ve given me and I’m giving it back. They can give it to some legislators they control.”

Meeks wants vouchers, charter schools, and teacher performance evaluations. Note he is the Education Committee chair. Can we get an AP fact check because I’m not sure where this is going?
