    Denver will be fun to watch! Are they evacuating Colorado yet? Obama, if he does get the nomination, will go down in flames. The past will come back to haunt him horribly. Even the MSM will not be able to keep it all hushed and most of the American people are not dumb enough to be duped. I hope.

    As requested. I won’t hold my breath waiting for a reply.

    President White,

    It has become apparent that someone has prevailed upon the Daley Library at UIC to keep the Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers hidden from public view during this election. As Senator Obamas chairmanship of the Challenge is cited as an example of his executive abilities, a review of his performance is in order. Please see that these papers are made available as soon as possible. If they can’t be made available, then please explain why. This man is running for the highest office in the land and the public has a right to know the details behind his resume’.

    Thank You,

    I don’t think Obama should be fully vetted. It would be discrimination based on race. I think to make it fair Obama should be 80% vetted and all white heterosexual male presidential candidates should be 110% vetted. After all, white males have destroyed the planet.

    Except I believe UIC is private, not public.

    Dh and I were mocking the UIC Library Self Storage Facility earlier today. They had 137 boxes of materials for years, and only now do they realize they never got a “signed ownership agreement” from the donor. Gee, do you suppose we could store some stuff at the UIC Library Self Storage Facility? The garage is getting a little crowded…

    You make a good point, tgusa. I’m trying to get a billboard erected showing a flattering picture of BHO with the words, “Affirmative Action Works.” I planned to sit back and watch the Dems squirm. How can they possibly refute it? I thought it would make for a good giggle. Unfortunately, none of the outdoor sign companies will put it up. I’ve contacted local, State, and National GOP. All I get is a big run around or a “We’ll get back to you.” Geesh. Try to help and get nowhere.

    Annenberg Challenge
    Ambassador Annenberg announced a “Challenge to the Nation” in December 1993 with a $500 million grant to improve public schools. As the largest single gift ever made to public education, the Annenberg Challenge was designed to unite the resources and ideas of those committed to increasing the effectiveness of public schooling. Recognizing that no single gift could improve all schools, the Challenge served as a catalyst to energize and support educational reform efforts across the country.

    The bastion of corruption and criminal activity that is the Chicago Democrat Political Machine is kicking into gear to “protect it’s own,” once again. The leftist filth that own and control that town also own and control the State of IL, which in turn “governs” the activities at UIC. It’s a complex network of power-grabbing, money-grubbing miscreants who function both in and out of the shadows. It’s like the old song about the “hip-bone’s connected to the thigh-bone.” Blagojevich, Daley, Ayers, Dohrn, Rezko, the Obamas, Emil Jones, J’Wright, Calypso Louie Farrakhan…an unending list of leftist criminals who are all connected to each other in various ways. I was born and raised in IL, and lived there until 9 years ago. I was there to watch that state begin the descent into the complete demon-crat mess that it is today.

    And you base this on what?

    I am constantly amazed at non-Libs who say “even xxxx couldn’t stomach/wouldn’t stand for/can’t support/wouldn’t let…(continue until full…) [insert choice anti-freedom item here...]“.

    Why say that? People like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannady, other commentators; middle-right and right side bloggers all say that. When speaking of the perfidity of Dumbocrats, they also add some such caviot as “…not the rank & file Democrat, mind you, but the leaders.”

    How did the leaders get there? Didn’t the so-called good, honest, America-loving, patriotic “rank & file” put these people there?

    I hear all the time: “If there are tons of moderate muslems, where are they? If they object to the terrorists, why don’t they stand up & speak up? Why do they allow their religion to be highjacked?” And the right nods its collective head.

    Well, if that is such a wise question, why isn’t it wise in this context? So:

    where are the patriot, honest, America-loving, troop-supporting, anti-terrorist, rule-of-law supporting Democrats? Why are they allowing their party to be highjacked by terrorists, friends of terrorists? Why do they support those who feel scoff-lawism is better changing laws you don’t like? If they care for law & order, why do they keep returning to office people who lie under oath? Why do they continue to support slavery?

    And, many of these same questions work for Rs, too…

Meanwhile, our “leaders” on the right, just continue to accept the allegations and never defend the truth.

    This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Universities have long been taken over by communists/socialists/Marxists and Tenure was their lock on control. They now are in control of primary and secondary education and the Unions are their lock on control. Home Schooling and Private (Christian) Schooling is under attack because it impedes their indoctrination.

    You would think the same Chicago Tribune that went to court to get Republican Jack Ryan’s divorce papers made public (which served NO public purpose and wound up costing him the 2004 IL Senate race that Obama eventually won) would be a tad bit more curious about this story than they are.

    Many years ago, I applied for a clerical job with the Civil Service Commission. Since this was a Federal Government position, I had to go through a rigorous investigation of past activities. Seriously, this was for a secretarial position and was in no way connected with anything confidential! They sent investigators around to my past neighbors and questioned them. They dug into my personal life. Get this…I was 20 years old! When I was 18, I got picked up in a raid at a bar and was cited for drinking under age. This was brought to light and I almost didn’t get the job! How times have changed. Now we have someone running for the highest position in the world, and we can’t get information about his past! More coverups than Watergate! Oh, and Sandy Burgler…another dem who is getting away with a felony.

    I have an idea. Leak to the press that there some documents that would potentially dig the political grave of a well-known Republican Senator. Give the same information about the documents as those hidden by the University of Illinois library, and the fact that they won’t release them. See if the press picks up this story and starts yelling for the Republican Senator’s head! Then say, “gotcha!”

    Here’s the e-mail I just sent to White:

    “If you don’t make the Annenberg Challenge records available to reporter Stanley Kurtz (or any other interested reporter) pronto, then you run the risk of depriving the American electorate of information potentially crucial to their decision.

    If the information is withheld past the election, and then subsequently something bombastic is exposed, then the maelstrom of bad will you will have engendered against yourselves will be irredeemable.

    Don’t do a John Edwards; he’ll never recover, and neither will you if you continue to stonewall.”

    I see a few questions here:
    1) Who owns the documents in question; Annenberg Foundation or University of Illinois Chicago’s Daley Library?

    2) If Annenberg transferred the docs to the Daley Library, is there any public paperwork to that effect?

    If Annenberg retained OWNERSHIP we’re probably going to be SOL as far as compelling a release.

    #38 re: Sandy Berger – Wikipedia claims he was fined $50,000, given 2 years probation, 100 hours of community service and security clearance suspended 3 years for a guilty plea to misdemeanor unauthorized removal and retention of classified information.

    Dear Mr. President,

    I sincerely request that you allow the Chicago Annenberg Challenge records be made available to whoever wishes to view them.

    The importance of making these records available to the public is because one of the people involved in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge is currently the presumptive presidential nominee of one of our major political parties. It would be very detrimental for the voters of our great country to not have as complete an understanding as possible of an individual who could be our next President upon which make their voting decision. This is a case where the needs of the many far outweigh the needs of the few.

    I trust that in your capacity as the head of a major institution of higher education, you will be equally concerned that voters will not have all the pertinent information on which to make an informed decision when casting their vote for the next President of the United States of America.

    Thank you. Sincerely,

    A concerned citizen of these United States of America

    email to President White

    Dear Mr. B. Joseph White
    Its seems there is a white washing going on related to certain documents in your schools possession “the internal files of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge”. For some reason they are not being made available for inspection by the public and more over by Mr. Stanley Kurtz.. It’s about time to take immediate public steps to insure the safety of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, to release the identity of the Collection’s donor, and above all to swiftly make the Collection available to Mr. Stanley Kurtz, and to the public at large. To do anything less would only further the notion that there is a cover up going on. It could be surmised that as your school employees a admitted terrorist bomber in William Aryers you are also covering up to insulate your school from ridicule or worse your hiding information from the public to help a political ally in the presidential election . So I must ask what are you afraid of? Being tied to and employing a terrorist or are you afraid to allow the public to see the documents, that will show your political ally running for president of the United States has deeper ties to this terrorist. At the same time prove he was lying to the American people from the very beginning about his relationship to your terrorist professor.

    Time to grow a set and do the right thing. Release the documents or release the name of the donor who is putting up the road blocks.

    Sincerely yours
