Thread: Even MORE Obama controversy

Obama's Education Groups Funded Controversial Organizations in the '90s, Tax Returns Show

Barack Obama's boards gave tens of thousands to ACORN and more than $1 million to racially charged organizations, a study of tax returns shows.

The Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund of Chicago funded numerous controversial groups while Barack Obama served on their boards between 1995 and 2002, an analysis of their tax returns shows.
In 2001, when Obama was a part-time director of The Woods Fund of Chicago, it gave $75,000 to ACORN, the voter registration group now under investigation for voter fraud in 12 states.

The Woods Fund also gave $6,000 to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, which Obama attended. The reason for the donation to the church is unclear -- it is simply listed as "for special purposes" in the group's IRS tax form.

It gave a further $60,000 to the Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University, which was founded and run by Bernardine Dohrn, the wife of domestic terrorist William Ayers and, with her husband, a former member of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground......

It also gave nearly $1 million to a group called the South Shore African Village Collaborative, whose goals, according to Annenberg's archived Web site, are "to develop more collegial relationships between teachers and principals. Professional development topics include school leadership, team building, parent and community involvement, developing thematic units, instructional strategies, strategic planning, and distance learning and teleconferencing."

But the group mentions other goals in its grant application to the Annenberg Challenge:
"Our children need to understand the historical context of our struggles for liberation from those forces that seek to destroy us," one page of the application reads..............

Asked to comment, Yvonne Williams-Kinnison, executive director of the collaborative's parent group, the Coalition for Improved Education in South Shore said, "I don't want to put more fuel on the fire. You can call us back after the election.... I don't want to compromise the position."....

So they want to hide it.

There represent the policies, principles and ideals Obama supports and they are socialist bordering on Marxist and the particular people he supports publicly state they support Marxist principles and ideals. And can anyone list any accoplishments and any achievements from all that money that Obama doled out?

And this is the man we may elect to be President?

You know Prag, this is what cracks me up most.

Annenberg, who owned a great number of newspapers that always came out in favor of the the Republicans, who was Nixon's ambassador to Great Britain, and who was best friends with the Reagan's, apparently has all of the conservative roots of his foundation ignored in favor of right wing rhetoric.

The closer we get to election day the more ground Obama loses. It was pretty much a done deal in exit polls for Kerry also. Everyday more will be seen of Obama and what he really is, a bitter hater. He has been groomed to be calm and cool under fire but you cannot change the truth about him no matter how you dress him up, you can put lipstick on a Socialist...

He is losing ground and showing it by throwing out the tired SS scare and medicare scare.
