Who in their right minds would allow these two failed Chicago education "reformers" influence the education of our children in America? I am talking about Barack Obama and William Ayers.
Educators and parents should read the information provided by the resources below before concluding that Obama's education policy is right for our country. Of the utmost concern is appropriation of tax dollars on programs that work and develop our Nation's children into positive role models and citizens in society. Take a look:
Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC)
An educational program that cost millions and was a complete failure. At its founding, the Annenberg Challenge was made up of three constituent parts:
* The Chicago School Reform Collaborative, co-chaired by William C. Ayers;
* a Board of Directors initially recruited by the Collaborative, which was chaired from 1995 to 2000 by Barack Obama, at the time a practicing attorney.
* The Chicago Schools Research Consortium, a research arm of the Challenge.
The final review of the program concluded, "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."

"Voters—and debate moderators—shouldn’t let Bill Ayers and Barack Obama off the hook."
Obama's Education Plan
Does John Glenn know that his replacement candidate for Hillary does not understand the importance of U.S. space exploration? I guess China and Russia will be thrilled that we step back while their space programs continue to progress.

This is from an e-mail I just received. I'd like to see this reported on by the MSM
"To All My Friends, this is long, but very important, please take the time to read it.
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.
I started looking into Obama's life. read more »
Chicago Tribune: Northern plans big charge
Shares tumble 19% after bank moves to shore up shaky investment funds
In case you didn't know, Northern Trust Corp. is the mortgage lender for the Obamas. This is the bank that gave a sweet deal to the Obamas on their elite property in Chicago located next to Tony Rezko's lot. According to the Washington Post article "Obama Got Discount on Home Loan" last July:
"The freshman Democratic senator received a discount. He locked in an interest rate of 5.625 percent on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, below the average for such loans at the time in Chicago. The loan was unusually large, known in banker lingo as a 'super super jumbo.' Obama paid no origination fee or discount points, as some consumers do to reduce their interest rates."

If you have not followed the money and the relationships between Obama and folks like Tony Rezko, William Ayers and Gov. Rod Blagojevich, or organizations and businesses such as ACORN, New Kenwood LLC, Trinity United Church of Christ, Woods Fund, Chicago Public Education Fund, Fannie Mae and Northern Trust, then you might want to read up at this blog:
Obama's Northern Trust Connections:

After reading the blog above, my admiration for the dedication of citizens in this country to the upcoming election has grown significantly!
Look, one has to be able to admire Obama for his community organizing interests. But it seems that with his connections to Fannie Mae, ACORN and Northern Trust, Barack Obama should recuse himself from voting on this bail out legislation, should it ever come to vote in the Senate.
McCain-Palin 2008 Launches New Web Video: "Where Is Obama?"
ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released its latest web video, entitled "Where is Obama?" The web video highlights Democrats, Republicans and Hillary Clinton supporters in Chicago speaking to Barack Obama's lack of leadership in the Hispanic Community in Illinois. While Barack Obama promises much for the Hispanic-American community on the campaign trail, these Democrats and Republicans wonder where Barack Obama has been during his years in the Illinois State Senate and United States Senate. The web video will be featured today during a press conference in New Mexico.
