So what’s he saying?
Has Kurtz gotten in to see the files?
Radio Host offered Obama team to be on during interview as well and Obama team passed. Then the host said, it did generate a lot of angry callers (Obama supporters) to the station for having Kurtz on.
how can they ignore it,
when the obama campaign made such an issue of it?
Background:
- Barack Chairman of Board on Annenberg project (CAC) - most important executive experience has had to day.
- State campaign launch even hosted by Ayers/Dohrn
- Clear CAC joint project by Obama, Ayers & others.
- Two Shared educational & juvenile crime philosophy. Appears to be a political alliance.
Records:
- Kurtz starting to examine records.
- Kurtz still doesn’t know who requested that access to records were originally closed or the original donor (he may find out soon). Kurtz was concerned donor was setting up a position to take records back. So Kurtz went public with story and access issues.
- Has this week to look at records.
- AP, NYT, & many other news orgs showed up to review. But has thinned out considerably after a day or two.

Listening.
The Global Labor and Politics guy is griping that he didn’t get put on... well they asked the Obama campaign for balance. I think they should have invited him if they got his message, but it looks like he was scheduled for the 29th. I wouldn’t call this censorship but it is a lost opportunity.

>Even more intriguing, in 1995 Ayers won a $49.2 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation — matched two-to-one by public and private contributions — to promote “reform” in the Chicago school system. He quickly brought in Obama, then all of 33 and bereft of any executive experience, to chair the board. With Ayers directing the project’s operational arm and Obama overseeing its financial affairs until 1999, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge distributed more than $100 million to ideological allies with no discernible improvement in public education.
>Until this week, moreover, the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Ayers works, was blocking access to the project’s files (examination of which was being sought by frequent National Review contributor Stanley Kurtz), until finally relenting under public pressure. Less than three months from Election Day, analysis of the records from Barack Obama’s only significant executive experience is just beginning.
