It cannot be emphasized enough that these evaluations speak directly to the only real world executive experience of a gifted rhetorician with incredibly light political experience, hardly any of it at the national level. That he suddenly somehow fancies himself ready and able to become the chief executive of the United States is a bad joke. Based on these evaluations, it's doubtful he is qualified for a mid-level administrative position within a school district in a mid-sized town. If the mainstream media doesn't follow up on this and the work of Stanley Kurtz and Steve Diamond, it's they who will be playing the worst of jokes on the American people.

As the article said, Obama had $50 million to play around with but the money did not measurably improve student achievement. It does not speak well of his management skills.

PING! to this article.

The Fox News story doesn’t cover the heart of the corruption and incompetence of Obama’s spending $50 million dollars to improve educational outcomes with no impact on achievement.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

This is what I was referring to in that other post about Ayers/the Weathermen. It's THIS affiliation in more recent years that is really troubling.

Financially - pure and simple: If Obama couldn't really manage this fund, how the HELL is he going to manage the Dept. of Education (amongst other things)?

The fact that Obama was involved and colluding with Ayers (who was heavily embroiled in a "freethinker" school in Michigan during the 1970's before the Weathermen went on their bombing/killing spree) to figure out how to spend this money is deeply troubling.

[counterpunch]

One portion of the document claims they gave money away so fast and so early, the effort may have been doomed from the start - all while Obama was Chair.

Isn't that what Obama plans on doing as president?

This smoking gun
is apparently
why we always hear
consistently vague references
to Obama’s “community organizing”
(his main accomplishment in life
other than an
extremely
thin career,
lacking significant accomplishment,
as a legislator)
which the typical
viewer/reader/voter
can imagine
as anything from
organizing
voter registration drives
to
neighborhood watches,
when in fact
Obama’s
has been a
hard left
dreamer
worked closely
on a daily basis
with an anarchist
terrorist
in an effort
that squandered
$50 million
with
ZERO results.

Seems when 'push came to shove' - the money versus molding young minds - in Leftist tradition (?) - the money, won. . .

We have to stay on Fox News' toes here. . .they need to tell the whole story; as well as the truth of the 'rest of the stories' out there re Obama. And I hope McCain is prepared to go there as well - despite noxious threats per initial efforts.

We see how our 'Left', uses 'words'/threats instead of tanks. . .but underlying idiological MO is the same.

CD, thx for the excellent thread!

Hey, last night, when Hillary was speechifying, did you catch her pointed use of of 'community organizer' (when she referenced BHO's first 'job' in Chicago). She could have said how he 'volunteered' but no...she stuck w/the the resume, catchall term of 'community organizer.' Hmmmmm....

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Reading through the documents gives the impression that as Chairman, Obama did little more than assist the most Leftist of activists in shuffling around millions of dollars, often to themselves in their own misguided initiatives, few if any of them producing real results. In fact, in many people's minds, they were never even designed to.

That is typical of the Left. They manage to get government and guilt ridden, soft headed rich liberals to pay for their attempts to destroy us. It happens all the time. Most of their "initiatives" are intended to do the opposite of what they proclaim. After all, if they succeed there will be no more problem for them to "solve."

So far this morning, this story isn’t hitting the fan at all. I suppose that’s because it’s lacking a connection to young George W. Bush.

Oh, the innocence of Democrats! Wherever they go, it hops like fleas onto everyone they meet. Even terrorists. The closer Obama got, the more innocent and inoculated against sin was Ayers.

When Middle America learns what Monster the DNC is trying and Lying to cram down their throats, there will be a Revolution that cleans out and disinfects the Demorat Party to the very bowels of its existance!

[longtermmemmory]

now we know why there is absolute panic to “stop the ad”

there is more if we keep digging.

Obama mismanaged school money for education.

That would be akin to speaking well of Unicorns, Leprechauns and Tooth Fairies!

[CedarDave]

Check out this previously obscure but well documented connection of Obama and Ayers to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). Obama had control of about $50 million dollars of grant money for education improvement and it went down a black hole of various leftist causes with little change in achievement scores. Obama is an expert in spending other people’s money but a disaster in directing/managing its proper use. He will be a disaster for the economy notwithstanding his love of socialism/Marxism.

This came to my attention late last night and I put up a thread. I’m taking the liberty of using your Mark Levin Ping list to spread the info to East coasters who may not have seen it.

As an aside, on the convention thread, Fox’s Greta interviewed Stanley Kurtz of NRO OnLine on this material and more than one poster said he appeared shocked at what he found (one went so far as to say “scared to death”). Hopefully it’s just the figurative bombshell.

“If the mainstream media doesn’t follow up ... they ... will be playing the worst of jokes on the American people.”

You can bet the MSM will not play it up unless pressure from the pajamahadeen forces them. I’m not sure if K. Oberman, C. Matthews and the MSNBC crew qualify as MSM, but you can be they won’t touch it. Katie? oh, please. Who among them will cover this?

Thanks!
