Video of Obama in his own words from various interviews regarding Chicago Annenburg Challenge and who hired him. Bill Ayers, infact, Ayers built the foundation with a 50 Mill grant then hired Obama, the ACORN community Organization attorney (Obama) to run it. It was one of his only job resume points he pointed to while running for US Senate.
Ping ... see my post #19.

How about Obama openly campaigning for his communist cousin Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost. Obama campaigned for an openly Anti-American candidate in a foreign country in 2006.
zerobama backers and voters...time to exit!!!!
What doesn’t pass he laff\smell test is...
Ayers starts Annenberg in Chicago and he makes OBama chairman.
Did Ayers pick OBama’s name out of a hat ?
You don’t give the chairmanship of anything to someone you don’t know.
Someone splain to me how does Ayers give Obama the chair without them knowing each other ?
In fact, according to several people involved, Mr. Ayers played no role in Mr. Obama’s appointment. Instead, it was suggested by Deborah Leff, then president of the Joyce Foundation, a Chicago-based group whose board Mr. Obama, a young lawyer, had joined the previous year. At a lunch with two other foundation heads, Patricia A. Graham of the Spencer Foundation and Adele Simmons of the MacArthur Foundation, Ms. Leff suggested that Mr. Obama would make a good board chairman, she said in an interview. Mr. Ayers was not present and had not suggested Mr. Obama, she said.

William Ayers is a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago ; Warren Chapman is a program officer at the Joyce Foundation; and Anne Hallett is the executive director of the Cross-City Campaign for Urban School Reform
BOOM
Ayers ‘coalition’ was ‘in biz’ since 1988....ehh? Same time Obama was doing his community organizing in Chicago.
Yet..we are suppose to believe that all that time, Obama never met Ayers or Bernadine once while he was doing his ‘community organizing’....until 1995?
BS!!

SCHOOLS GET READY FOR ANNENBERG CHALLENGE ON INNOVATIVE EDUCATION
Chicago Tribune - June 23, 1995
Author: V. Dion Haynes, Tribune Education Writer.
Chicago principals and local school councils interested in innovative education are now invited to apply for a chunk of a $147 million award to make their ideas reality.
Officials of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge announced Thursday that they are accepting proposals from schools that want to make radical changes in the way teachers teach and students learn
“This is about the children of Chicago. This is about making the lives of the children of Chicago better,” said Annenberg Challenge board member Patricia Albjerg Graham , who is also president of the Spencer Foundation, a Chicago-based organization offering grants for educational research.
Barack Obama, a Chicago lawyer and chairman of the Annenberg Challenge board, added, “If we’re really going to change things in this city, it’s going to start at the grass-roots level and with our children.”

SCHOOLS GO AFTER WINDFALL - MILLIONS FOR REFORM COULD BE HOLIDAY GIFT
Chicago Tribune - October 23, 1994
Author: Charles Storch and V. Dion Haynes, Tribune Staff Writers.
(snip)
A group of Chicago educators, foundation officials, community activists and others, including an assistant to Chicago Public Schools Supt. Argie Johnson, have worked this year on a grant proposal, which they hope to complete and submit by Nov. 1 to the Annenberg National Institute for School Reform at Brown University in Rhode Island.
(snip)
Although only 150 of the city’s 550 public schools might be involved, the plan’s drafters believe the Annenberg schools would demonstrate benefits that could be adopted throughout the system within five years.
“We don’t want there to be a couple of schools that are shining lights and the rest a mess,” said Anne Hallett, executive director of the Chicago-based Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform and a longtime force in the local reform movement.
Hallett and William Ayers , an associate professor of education at University of Illinois at Chicago, began the campaign here for an Annenberg grant last December.
Ayers would like to see plans “addressing the huge number of kids in factory-like environments. We need to see creative ways of scheduling kids so they can learn in a smaller (classroom) environment and so teachers can have fewer students.”
He acknowledged that for such plans to work, administrators and the teachers union would have to waive rules establishing hours worked by teachers.

CBS at it again! This is starting to remind me of that CBS gal involved in RATHERGATE!! It is just a nest of marxist vipers over there!
GREAT FIND!! (haven’t gotten through the rest of this latest find of yours yet...but this part just lept off the page!!)
I will get back to you later tonight. We need to get this info on her media background into in the hands of some other bloggers working on this. Do you have anyone in mind or are your working with anyone yet?
Rev. Stanley J. Hallett- led fight for civil rights
Chicago Sun-Times - November 26, 1998
Author: MICHAEL GILLIS
In Jackson, Miss., in 1963, the Rev. Stanley J. Hallett stood on the steps of an all-white Methodist church and chastised six ushers who refused to admit a group that included two black Chicago women.
“Do you realize that in doing this you are challenging the whole structure and discipline of the Methodist Church?” asked Mr. Hallett , who was a white Methodist minister from Chicago .
(snip)
He worked alongside other prominent leaders, including the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Saul Alinsky, said Mr. Hallett ‘s son Mark. He remembers frequent visitors to his home when he was growing up.
(snip)
In the 1960s, as an officer with the Church Federation of Greater Chicago , Mr. Hallett made several trips to the South to aid the civil rights movement. He also blew the whistle on Chicago ‘s political machine, helped churches adjust to changes in the urban landscape and helped neighborhood leaders solve problems in their communities.
Mr. Hallett was a vice president of South Shore Bank's holding company, helping the bank become a model for community-development banking. For 20 years he played a leadership role in the Woodstock Institute, which studies investment issues in poor communities.
(snip)
Mr. Hallett was born in Iowa and starting preaching by 14. He was educated at Dakota Wesleyan University in South Dakota and the Boston University School of Theology. He did additional graduate studies at Cambridge University and Harvard University.
He moved to Chicago from Newark, N.J., in 1962 to work in the civil rights movement.
Mr. Hallett also is survived by his wife, Anne ; ...

oops...I mean ABC.
Loved this part:
“Officials of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge announced Thursday that they are accepting proposals from schools that want to make radical changes in the way teachers teach and students learn...”
‘Radical’ being the operative word....(eye roll)
“Do you have anyone in mind or are your working with anyone yet?”
Ping or FReepmail those with blog connections, please. :)

Will do. Which connections/people from your research do you think are the most important to note right now?
I certainly think the connections to the MSM with this cover-up of the Ayers/Obama nexus are very important. Kurtz and many others(Freepers included) have done alot of work bringing out the connections between Ayers/Annenberg/Obama and the radical programs they were pushing in Chicago.
Just my opinion, but we might want to focus on the MSM people with connections to Ayers and Obama. When this election is over...no matter who wins...the American people need to put the American press on trial and expose all of the conflicts of interest and possible pay-offs made to them by the democrats and the Obama Campaign!
What a nest of self-serving..self dealing vipers!! Ponzi Penny is starting to loook like the head of the medusa...lol..she keeps popping up everywhere!!
