When Obama Bragged About The Chicago Annenberg Challenge - With Video
Hey, DOLLARD … Hims got Fritoes …
by Thomas Lifson - (American Thinker)
The Obama campaign and its media friends prefer to send his role in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge fiasco down the memory hole. It highlights his ties to William Ayers, and it was a colossal flop, wasting $150 million dollars.
But once upon a time, when Obama was running (unsuccessfully) for Congress after just one term in the Illinois State Senate, he touted his experience with CAC as a qualification for high office. Check out this newly-discovered video:
Interviewer: One of the criticisms that arises in connection with your candidacy is you simply haven’t been in the Senate very long, the State Senate. You have a limited track record in terms of time, what is your argument based on the one term that you’ve served so far? What makes you prepared for the Congress?
Obama: Well, I’m in my second term, but it’s true that certainly both Senator Trotter and Congressman Rush have been in elected office longer than I have. I can’t deny that. I would argue, though, that my experience previous to elected office equips me for the job. I have a background as an attorney, I’ve represented affordable housing organizations to build affordable housing, something that’s a major issue in the district.
I’ve chaired major philanthropic efforts in the city like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, that gave fifty million dollars to prompt school reform efforts throughout the city.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Barry Obama, the recently unsuccessful candidate for POTUS and Mr. Wile E. Coyote are the unwitting victims of the faulty, improperly labeled and deceptively advertised ‘products’ of the ACME Co.
September 15th, 2008 at 6:00 pmTheir use of these ‘products’ has severely inhibited their ability to make their living as ‘natural’ predators.
They have filed suit in the 9th Circuit and are seeking One bazillion gajillion U.S. dollars for redress and compensation.
Objectively, this jerk surely can’t be viewed as the best candidate to carry the Democratic Party, not only is he a compulsive liar he’s a serial failure at anything that requires due diligence and responsibility to succeed.
Only recently he was pulling Chicago style stunts in Iraq.
Barry’s past is coming to haunt him well before Halloween. He’s heavily tainted by Chicago’s nefarious underworld politics, and he’s a low-life product of it. Most all his associates to date have shady backgrounds - felons, hardcore marxists, terrorists (foreign and domestic) racist preachers etc.. Many are unreachable or have been gagged much like his own wife of late. They’re laying low because they know what is coming his way, complete and utter self destruction.
And leftards are worried about Biden?? He’s the least of the DNC’s worries compared to Barry.
This guy belongs behind bars and nowhere near the whitehouse, and when all is exposed many Americans will breathe a sigh of relief and take some pride in not rewarding this fraud the highest office in the land.
He’s got absolutely nowhere purely on merit. Face it leftards, your messiah’s as crooked as they come in Chitown.
September 15th, 2008 at 6:14 pmIf Obama wins……SOCIALISM
Just remember, with him as president and a democratic controlled house and senate, there is only one branch of the government to control. Watch out Chief Justice Roberts, he’ll be gunnin for ya!
September 15th, 2008 at 7:14 pmThey want to probe the medicine chest of the Palin bathroom but Obama has a 13 year relationship with a terrorist…and I hear crickets chirping.
Hatred of our country from our prospective leader. Terrorists and America-haters as allies.
Stunning.
These facts need to be made known to all. To all.
