Despite having authored two autobiographies, Barack Obama has never written about his most important executive experience. From 1995 to 1999, he led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists.
ACORN anyone?
Why does Obama not tout the ONLY executive experience he has had? The campaign is desperately trying to keep this under wraps - what an absolute, miserable failure he was as CEO of this board.
Quote:
CAC translated Mr. Ayers's radicalism into practice. Instead of funding schools directly, it required schools to affiliate with "external partners," which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn).
Quote:
The Daley documents show that Mr. Ayers sat as an ex-officio member of the board Mr. Obama chaired through CAC's first year. He also served on the board's governance committee with Mr. Obama, and worked with him to craft CAC bylaws. Mr. Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Mr. Obama. Mr. Ayers spoke for the Collaborative before the board. Likewise, Mr. Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the Collaborative.
The Obama campaign has cried foul when Bill Ayers comes up, claiming "guilt by association." Yet the issue here isn't guilt by association; it's guilt by participation. As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lending moral and financial support to Mr. Ayers and his radical circle. That is a story even if Mr. Ayers had never planted a single bomb 40 years ago
I do hope the McCain campaign uses this picture when those ads come out.

Yeah! It'd be great to see him use a (probably) PhotoShopped picture of someone with NO STANDING in the race in one of his ads.
I saw a McCain ad this AM, The FIRST WORD after "I approved this message" was 'Obama', if he has nothing postive to say about what HE proposes to do I'd be more impressed if he just shut up.

Take away their bunk and they're left with ........................................?
Can ANY obama supporter explain WHY he does not list his time as CEO of this board in his long (not) list of accomplishments?
So now Obama's supporters are supposed to be mindreaders and explain "why" Obama did or didn't do something?? You're a big Palin supporter- can you explain to us "why" she chose to wear a red dress today rather than a blue dress? It's just as inane of a request, dontcha think??? Please...........
Really? Equating what to wear with the only executive experience obama has, which he won't bring up is rather shallow, wouldn't you say?

Wouldn't that be the FIRST thing an obama supporter would bring up when critics say he has no executive experience? I think we know why - he was in bed with a domestic terrorists and the millions they doled out from this fund to ACORN and other dubious entities, failed....MISERABLY.
