Fresh From the Archives: Barack Obama Cites Job Given to Him by Bill Ayers as a Qualification for His Election to US Senate
— Ace

How did Obama's time on the Annenberg Challenge board go from being a key bullet-point in his resume -- by his own accounting -- to one the media refuses to even mention?

Thanks to Uncle Milty.

This just proves how good his judgment is! He knew that the sucklings in the media would bend over and allow him to Sullivan them over and over, with their unequivocal approval.

That's judgment pal, judgment to lead.

Now you peasants wait just a minute. Are you seriously suggesting that the One is in any way affiliated with unrepentant terrorists?

That's laughable. Dan Rather and I had cocktails last weekend at the club, and he mentioned nothing about it.

Rabble.

10 I agree that the "scare music" is a little much.  Makes an otherwise correct attack vid seem cartoon-y and muckrake-ish.

11 I'm confident things will continue to unravel for "the one".  I fully expect a major revelation in the next couple of weeks that will bury Barry.  All the local Michigan dem reps and surragates are walking around in shock this past week-end, they know something, and it aint good.  Do you wonder why we're not hearing anything from or about Mr. Biden?  Yes, I am confident the Repubs have a few more tricks up their sleeves.

No, you fool. But if you blow the Sec. Def., the One will make you a blogger for the Atlantic Monthly.

13 First, the DNC War Room...then the Electoral aftermath

Do German words matter?
A secret meeting in Berlin.
The crowds are gone.
Only trusted party officials remain.
The imminent sense of defeat
rattles even the most battle hardened loyalists.
It all seemed so close,
so easy,
victory in sight.

What happened?

19 Somehow, however, Obama is going to garner 40+% of the popular vote. Wright, Pfleger, Meeks, TUCC, Ayers, Rezko, campaign finance flip, most liberal Senator, race baiting, tracing-paper thin resume, "gun and Bible clinging" perception of half the electorate, product of Chicago machine politics, albatross of a wife, no history at all of bipartisanship, wrong on the surge, ego the size of Germany, promoting huge increase in the size of government programs, platform of increasing taxes on small businesses (corporations), spending campaign money like it's going out of style, and on and on and on...

Yet somehow he's viable because of the "D" next to his name. Jesus tap-dancing Christ! I'm going to need to grab my gun and start reading scripture to get through this.

The MSNBC Bio of saracudda is actually pretty decent, so far, though there is a rather harsh inflection when the narrartor says "only 8 months later their first child is born."

Other than that, pretty much an honest fact based docu.

21 Dear Barack,

I am going to shove so many of your own scandals up your Harvard educated asshole, that by Nov 4, it will look bigger than a big fat OODA loop.

eman,

Well then. Would you consider doing the dirty deed with Helen Thomas? I have assurances from the One's campaign that he would appoint you His Press Secretary.

Cheers,

Charlie

23 I guess, a la Che, the Left and Liberals see one or two degrees of separation as sufficient to launder Zerobama from a terrorist while still providing O with desired cachet.

I wonder if the Weather Underground, were it a creation of this decade, would form an alliance with Al Qaeda and/or Iran to bomb places...

That background music was just too ominous sounding.  I had a hard time watching the video, because I kept looking over my shoulder.

Not that I need to be looking over my shoulder about anything.  Not really.

25 Is every campaign he runs based upon this standard line:

"Yeah,  I'm inexperienced, but the work I've done elsewhere qualifies me for the job."

Posted by: MagicalPat at September 14, 2008 02:28 PM (O49GA)

26 You know, Obama gives me hope that I too, one day, can run for president. All I have to do is become a community organizer (a step down from my current job, but have to do it for the community), run for office in some lame district and beat the simpleton incumbent, then find some "interesting" characters to fund my campaigns and get me ahead, and then bam, I'm in!

Oh wait. I'm not black. Never mind.

Yeah, can't somebody do away with the impending-doom music; it diminishes the effect of the message, which is plenty damning on its own.

What's the difference b/w Obama and a certain Hockey Mom?

29 Personally I liked the background music a lot. Reminded me of God of War, though Obama is like Kratos's pussy negative image.

30 It's pretty effective.  I'd run it in a couple of big markets if I could just in the hopes the media would go nuts and condemn it or that Obama would be stupid enough to file suit to quash it.

32 awesome:

obama caught on tape bragging about his ties to ayers and rezko.

caught on tape LYING.

awesome.

obama has said he did no legal work for rezko - but refuses to turn over his billing records.

now we can prove that's a lie.

36 Check Wikipedia "Chicago Annenberg Challenge"

Legacy

The project appears to have failed to achieve any of its stated, measurable educational goals. For example, a comprehensive study by the Consortium on Chicago School Research concludes:

"Results suggest that among the schools it supported, the Challenge had little impact on school improvement and student outcomes, with no statistically significant differences between Annenberg and non-Annenberg schools in rates of achievement gain, classroom behavior, student self-efficacy, and social competence."[5]

In other words, Obama spent five years and about $100 million but the kids in Chicago did not improve.  Obama sacrificed the kids of Chicago rather than expect the teachers to teach!!  He chose the NEA over inner-city minority kids.

He failed at improving the ghetto schools of his own neighborhood. He also served seven years in the state senate and did NOTHING.

So much for "Change"

38 What's funny is that the Annenburg Challenge is his only real executive experience: he had to manage a group of people and a budget, make executive decisions and so on. And not just the press but the Obama campaign have buried it.

39 Yet somehow he's viable because of the "D" next to his name.

That's the depressing part. A good 45% or more of the country would vote for the Democratic Candidate no matter what he was like or what came up. They just will anyway. No evil, no insanity, no bizarre history or total lack of credibility would reduce that number, it just doesn't matter.

Sure, some of those votes are faked (dead people, etc), but there still is an awful lot of people who just won't and don't give a damn what the candidate is like, as long as they are not Republican. Senator Obama could show up on television naked with a little girl and rape her, then sacrifice her on an altar of bones to Satan while chanting about how he'll trigger a nuclear war once elected to summon his Dark Lord from the dead souls sacrificed in the nuclear fire, and they still would pull the lever for him.

The clips could be very useful in an ad, but the music is silly, "recieved" has to be corrected and, according to what I've read, Obama was appointed to the CAC before the campaign launch at Ayers' place.

This is really the money shot (pun intended).  He blows through other peoples money faster than a sailor on leave--not primarily the Ayers relationship.  It'll be interesting to see what the Woods foundation financials look like.

Annenburg Challenge:  $50 million with NOTHING to show for it.

His campaign even with record donations--is living paycheck to paycheck.(speech in Germany, fuax Greek columns with grand ceremony).

Bottom line:  Will you trust him with submitting a budget to Congress?

I must chime in in the hope that the creators of this video might possibly be trolling for feedback and get the message on what could be a very powerful and important piece of work.

LOSE THE IDIOTIC MUSIC!!!!

Seriously, guys. Music is used to manipulate emotion, especially when matched with visuals. Gee, ya think we were being manipulated much with your Schwarzenneger movie soundtrack? Please. Seriously, I was writing the whole thing off after five seconds of the music.... and it's an important message!

Lose the pathetic, lame, manipulative, B-movie thriller music guys. It quite literally stomps all over and destroys your important message.

A little subtlety here, folks.... subtlety.

They also wrote "Obamas" instead of "Obama's".

Get rid of the music, correct the spelling, mention ACORN and any other far left groups that received money, and then run this on TV in battleground states (like New York, tee hee).

59 Ok, this is how this should play out. Reille and John goes on Judge Hatchett for the DNA Paternity test. Judge Hatchett uses some of her wonderful intervention strategies to rehabilitate John from lying, cheating, and becoming a 'baby daddy' outside of his marriage. Judge Hatchett should then have Reille in classes teaching her how not to commit adultery, because we all know that John will NEVER MARRY her. So what is she waiting for, those checks are going to stop now that the spotlight is on, so she better get child support now, and not try to use public assistance. LOL

President Obama has begun to recover from the depths of voter dissatisfaction he hit women's chef coats  last fall, but he faces a newly empowered GOP determined to stop many of his initiatives as the 2012 campaign gets underway.
