Van Jones and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge

If one asks what does President Obama’s Green Jobs czar Van Jones (assuming he still holds the position as of this being read) and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) have to do with each other, the answer is both nothing and everything. Jones was not a part of CAC, but in the history of Barack Obama’s association with and leadership of CAC we see exactly why Van Jones was made an unconfirmed czar overseeing the expenditure of $30 billion dollars of the people’s money as we also see the active hand of President Obama.

Before the last election, effort was made by a precious few, including Stanley Kurtz of National Review Online, blogger Steve Diamond and American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson, to goad the media into serious scrutiny of Obama’s years (1995-1999) as founding chairman and president of the CAC, but to no avail. It was always striking that Obama, who had written two autobiographies at such an early age, had paid no real attention in either book to his only real executive experience before seeking the Presidency. The media went along.

Under Obama’s leadership CAC doled out 150 million dollars in an effort that was supposed to improve public education in the Chicago public schools. As Lifson reported, CAC’s expenditures and efforts under Obama had:

“failed to produce any measurable academic gains, according to the project’s own final report.”

Yet was that expenditure a failure? Perhaps by the stated goals of improving education in Chicago in measurable ways, yes. However, if the intent of Bill Ayers (who applied for and received the Annenberg grant) and Obama was to use the grants to funnel money to radical organizations and to incrementally radicalize Chicago public education in ways that might not show up at all in standard student performance evaluation, CAC may have been judged a success worth repeating. Obama and Ayers served together on the boards of CAC and the Woods Fund and both organizations funneled grant money to, among others for example, ACORN!

PING!!

CALL TO ACTION!

Ohaha gave Jones $30 BILLION to do with as he pleased. This conniving Communist surely found numerous ways to shovel US government money to himself, and to his lefty friends and relatives, during his blessedly abbreviated tenure.

Where is the Stimulus, Mr. Obama?

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commonly referred to as the “stimulus bill,” was intended to jump-start the economy in the short term and fund long-term investments. Quick funding of state-based projects to fight the recession was a major rationale for expediting the law's passage. However, six months have passed and little of that money has been delivered.

States with large per capita allocations probably expected a quick arrival of their recession-fighting funds. The state-by-state disbursement data tells a different story. When it comes to money actually paid out, many states that were promised less are getting the most. By the time the recovery money is fully paid, states with the largest total allocations will obviously be tops in terms of money received. But disbursement will be completed some time from now, perhaps even after the current recession has abated. (Excerpt) Read more at aier.org ...

OBAMA'S MODUS OPERANDI Obama hid $14.5 Billion stimulus in the crooked state of NJ. According to investigative news organs, there is no trace of the money being allocated as "stimulus." The NJ governor is an ex-Goldman Sachs Wall Street operator....these scamsters are experts on how to loot and pillage other people's money for their own personal profit. NOTE WELL Both Obama and Biden (in charge of the stimulus zillions) visited NJ shortly after the $14.5B was transferred.

Obama appoints Biden to allocate the stimulus trillions.

REFERENCE Fraudster had links to fund run by Bidens

(Reuters) – A fund of hedge funds run by two members of VP Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by firms in offshore Antigua controlled by Texas financier Allen Stanford, charged by regulators with an $8 billion fraud, the Wall Street Journal said.

The Bidens $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity, and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund, in offshore Antigua, the paper said.

Stanford-related companies in offshore Antigua marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, the paper said, citing a lawyer for Paradigm.

Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James, according to the paper. Paradigm's attorney, Marc LoPresti, who represents Hunter Biden and James Biden, as well as Paradigm, told the paper he did not know which Stanford-related companies in offshore Antigua invested the roughly $2.7 million. He told the paper the Bidens NEVER met or communicated with Stanford. (/snicker)
