In a Chicago interview during his failed Congressional bid in 2000, Barack Obama cited a job at an organization founded by former bomber of the Capital and Pentagon, Bill Ayers as evidence of his qualification for public office.

"One of the criticisms that arises in connection with your candidacy is that you haven't been in the [Illinois] Senate very long," said the interviewer. "You have a limited track record in terms of time. What is your argument, based on the one term that you served in the Senate so far, that makes you prepared for Congress?”

Obama replied: "I've chaired major philanthropic efforts in the city, like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge that gave $50 million to prop school reform efforts throughout the city."

Barack Hussein Obama led an education foundation called “The Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) from 1995-1999 and remained on the board until 2001. During that time, the group channeled more than 100 million dollars to radical community organizers and hard left education activists in Chicago.

But what was the CAC anyway. It was the creation of Bill Ayres, founder of the America-hating Weather Underground in the 1960’s. It was his group that bombed the Pentagon and the Capital. But more important, Ayres to this day is unrepentant. After the terrorist murders of September 11th 2001, his response was to state that he wished he had the chance to have done more.

Obama has sought to downplay his association with Ayres, who hosted Obama’s first political fundraiser in his own home and was a big money-raiser. Obama covers for his close association by stating that Ayres is merely "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "our kids go to school together.” The later doesn’t hold any water whatever, since the Ayres children are much older than Obamas.

But documents in the CAC archives make clear that Ayers and Obama were partners in the CAC. Those archives are housed in the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago. According to these archives, Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda.

The CAC's agenda flowed from the philosophy of Antonio Gromsci, leader of Italy’s Communist Party in the 1960’s. Gromsci discarded violent revolution for undermining a democratic country’s institutions, particularly the schools, so as to radicalize the nation’s youth. Likewise the Ayers/Obama educational philosophy, called for downplaying achievement and scholarship in return for hatred of America and its institutions.

Ayres and the Obama that embraced his philosophy, call for teachers to be “community organizers” dedicated to provoking resistance to what they consider to be American racism and oppression.

"I'm a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist," Mr. Ayers said in an interview in Ron Chepesiuk's, "Sixties Radicals," at about the same time Mr. Ayers was forming CAC.

Under Ayres and Obama, CAC money was not normally given to schools. It was disbursed through hard-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or ACORN). Scores of  ACORN personnel have been indicted in twelve states for voter fraud.  Charges include registering minors to vote and registering people multiple times under phony names.

Obama conducted "leadership training" seminars with ACORN, and ACORN members have served as volunteers in Obama's campaigns. 

Obama was also ACORN's attorney.  In this capacity, he taught activists how to intimidate banks into extending mortgages to unqualified minorities.  In court, he successfully fought for mortgage quotas to be forced on banks to unqualified minorities.  This began his early and ever growing responsibility for the financial crisis gripping America today. 

Other Obama partners in Chicago stress Obama's Black Liberation Philosophy, rather than traditional education. This fits very neatly into Obama’s 20 year membership in Chicago’s anti-white, America-hating Trinity Church, headed by his mentor, Jeremiah Wright, Jr.
