The projects Obama chose to fund were “ethnic identity” programs having nothing to do with education. For example, this project got money:

The South Shore African Village Collaborative for their “Celebrate African-American Holiday of Juneteenth” (celebrating the Emancipation Proclamation). Some African-Americans celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July

Who else benefited from Obama’s handouts? According to this report, so did Jeremiah Wright’s anti-American church and the Arab American Action Network, an anti-Israel group.

Guess whose requests for grants were rejected by Obama?

*The Chicago Algebra Project: goal to increase student achievement

*The District 5 Math Initiative: goal to aid Hispanic students in the process of learning English, to further learn math and science. (If I’m handling McCain’s ad campaign, my next Spanish language ad is already written – GWR)

Because learning algebra, math, English, and science isn’t nearly as important to education as screaming racism and cursing America, you know.

One of the vague, fuzzy areas of Barack Obama’s resume is his time on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, both as a member and as its chairman. Given the charge that Obama lacks the executive experience to be…

I left reminded that in this political season the 4th estate has done the American public a disservice.

Not just this political season Neo. In both 2000 and 2004 they wanted the Dem candidate and in 2004 did everything they could to hand that over to Kerry. Thankfully it didn’t work, as America would have had the stupidest President in our history, had their little “Coup de’ ta” worked. – Lorica

After the Iraq War started, the 4th estate spent months before they finally decided that maybe they were vigilant enough with their reporting running up to the war.

In this election, the 4th estate repeats it’s error by falling into the same trap.

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me

In this election, the 4th estate has actually allowed one of the candidates to write his own narrative, based on two auto-biographical books, that is full of holes for large time sequences.

Today, with only 40 some days remaining till the election, a bit of one of those 4 year holes is filled in, but much is still left unknown.

Will the 4th estate be comtemplating the navel for that time or will they begin to ask the questions that will give the American people a complete story ?

Not only does the future of their craft stand in balance, the future of the country demands better.

If they are not up to the challenge .. we will look elsewhere.
