CAC was a project in the Chicago school system funded with a grant of $50 million from the Annenberg Foundation in 1995. William Ayers, unrepentant terrorist and former member of the Weather Underground, was the driving force in securing the grant in 1995, and was one of 3 founders of the CAC. After the CAC was created, Obama, then a third-year associate at a small Chicago civil rights law firm, was named as the Chairman of the CAC Board, which oversaw the fiscal side of the CAC (it decided how the grant money would be spent, as well as having the responsibility for raising matching funds from other charitable foundations).


Mr. Obama was nominated to the Challenge board and was elected chairman in 1995, said Ken Rolling, executive director of the group, which operated through 2001. Mr. Obama continued to teach law during his five-year unpaid tenure as board chairman, and he was twice elected to the Illinois Senate


now this is where it gets tricky folk's and add's the spin from other topic's on this matter.
so bare with me and check yourself.

Remember fastcheck.org?
The people that did the test on obama certificate of live birth.
They are owned by annenberg group.
Get the picture now?

Bill ayer's was also on the board.

Now why would any person trust that his so called live birth certificate is real?

To me this smell's extremely like a take over from the inside on the united states of America.

en.wikipedia.org...
At a meeting with Simmons and Patricia Albjerg Graham, Deborah Leff suggested that Barack Obama would make a good board chairman.[37] After meeting and being impressed by Obama, Graham told Obama that she wanted him to be chairman of the Board of Directors.[37] Obama said that he would agree to serve as chairman if Graham would be vice chairman, to which Graham agreed.[37]

William Ayers and Warren Chapman were elected by the Collaborative as co-chairmen of the Collaborative in 1995.

Factcheck.org has a conflict of interest in covering Barack Obama because they are owned by The Annenberg Foundation.


Myself not bias or in love with any candidate....can see this cover up a mile away.
obama and his friends are hiding something here big time!!!!

You guys are great, no, I mean really !! See the latest page on factcheck.org ?

www.factcheck.org...

and this quote from the sidebar near the bottom of this page addressing this very claim ?

"For the record, the Annenberg Foundation's president and chairman is Leonore Annenberg, the founder's widow. Public records show she's given $2,300 to the McCain campaign, which announced on Oct. 8, that she has endorsed him for president."

Please, factcheck.org is without a doubt the best non partisan site out there. There's enough dirt on BOTH canidates to convince anybody of that. Keep looking though, I'm sure you'll find plenty of anecdotal evidence to back up whatever view you choose to push.

so $2,300 to the McCain campaign make's it ok ?

the fact is obama and ayer's was on the board for Annenberg Foundation.

and it was a conflict of interest to say the least.

some still think obamas live birth cirtificate could be getting covered up.

let's face it bill ayers was on the same board...the man obama claims he isnt friends with.
yet obama announced his presidency run in ayers house.

yet all lead back to this foundation.

yes good sir 2300 dollar's and some lady saying im endorsing mcain..goign to sway me from my original idea..
they are hiding something.

way to many touchy subject's surround obama for good reason.

This has been debunked a million times. What do you want?!?!? A picture of his mother giving birth on the Whitehouse lawn?!?!?


let's face it bill ayers was on the same board...the man obama claims he isnt friends with.
yet obama announced his presidency run in ayers house.


That was when he was running for his job (you know....the experience he doesn't have??) in the Illinois state house. Nothing to do with his presidential run. Do you know who funded that board????
I'll tell you.
A Ronald Reagan appointee.

...and John McCain supporter.

There's no connection between the Annenberg Challenge and FactCheck.org. The Annenberg Challenge was supported by the Annenberg Foundation of the late Walter Anneberg

isn't this like saying there's no connection to butter and toast..because the butter was added after you cooked the toast

It it a connection..a major one and will be glad when the major media pick's up on it to realize this whole obama campaign is apparently set up to throw the u.s.a for a loop.
Think on it if he is truly a American citizen what does he have to hide?

Show the courts the true Birth certificate....before he is elected..
Otherwise it show's he is indeed hiding something plain and simple.
no if's and's or but's about it.

Wouldn't it be a kick in America's behind..if our people was so gullible as to elect a non American citizen for president because they was afraid to get the truth. or to blind to see it

question everything...that's my motto
and i know sen. obama is hiding a big secret in that closet...
where there's smoke there is fire...

obama support's can rationalize somehow if obama was smoking crack.
Oh obama is trying to get in touch with the poor community.... that's what they sound like.


As his wife so hauntingly "For the first time in my adult life i am proud to be a American "
I can now die happy knowing she is now happy with America...i am sure glad you are winning obama or she might have killed herself from depression

No it's like saying you have an apple and an orange, you eat the apple and are left with the orange, then someone comes along and says, "Is that an apple I think it's an apple!"

See, I can make up horrible analogies too.

nope he says there is no connection...but they are period!!

so basically my analogy is better sorry lol

apple is not connected to a orange other than it's a fruit

but if you want to argue the fruit connection i guess that work's too lol

they are both fruit from the same tree..one was a apple one was a orange.
Annenberg Foundation and Annenberg Challenge.

but which is the apple and which is the orange my friend?

either way there still connected.
plain and simple.

You beat me to it, but don't expect the OP to respond or even consider the question. Head explosion might well be the result.

Annenberg was a big time R and Red Ronny's ambassador to the UK. So why would his foundation hire Ayers, the most militant leftist in USA history? Obama's acquaintance with Ayers seems insignificant in comparison. Face it folks, both 'sides' are funded by the big money globalists. R - D is a false paradigm used to box you into a controllable mental area. If you still think that there's any meaningful difference among the republicRATS, you may be getting a bit too much fluoride in your water.

Here.....because some refuse to believe that this line of attack is very flimsy.

Established in 1989 by Walter H. Annenberg, the Annenberg Foundation provides funding and support to nonprofit organizations in the United States and globally through its headquarters in Radnor, Pennsylvania and offices in Los Angeles, California. Its major program areas are education and youth development; arts, culture and humanities; civic and community; health and human services; and animal services and the environment. In addition, the Foundation operates a number of initiatives which expand and complement these program areas. The Annenberg Foundation exists to advance the public well-being through improved communication. As the principal means of achieving this goal, the Foundation encourages the development of more effective ways to share ideas and knowledge.


It was a educational board.


The Annenberg Foundation presents its 15th Anniversary report to convey the scope and depth of its investments in education, the arts, civic life and health. Over these 15 years, the Foundation has awarded some 5,200 grants totaling more than $2.8 billion.

Completely. Transparent.

I would say a most a stretch trying to implicate the Annenberg Foundation with wrongdoing.

As far as Factcheck.org....How are facts disputable??? That is pretty much the definition of fact. If it's backed up....and indisputable.....it's a fact.

From FactCheck.org:

Contrary to suggestions we've seen in some conservative blogs, there is no connection between the Chicago Annenberg Challenge and FactCheck.org, save for the fact that both received funding from the Annenberg Foundation. The foundation supports a wide variety of charitable causes – a total of 5,200 grants during its first 15 years of operation. It was founded in 1989 by Walter H. Annenberg, a newspaper and magazine publisher who died in 2002. FactCheck.org is funded by, and is a project of, the Annenberg Public Policy Center, which was established by the Annenberg Foundation with a $20 million endowment in 1993. The Annenberg Foundation also made additional grants to support our work. We also receive funding from the Flora Family Foundation to help support our educational offshoot, FactCheckED.org. We receive no other outside funding. FactCheck.org came into being in late 2003. Director Brooks Jackson states: "Our mission is to be as neutral and nonpartisan as humanly possible. Annenberg supports that, and nobody at the Annenberg Foundation has ever tried to influence anything we've written." For the record, the Annenberg Foundation's president and chairman is Leonore Annenberg, the founder's widow. Public records show she's given $2,300 to the McCain campaign, which announced on Oct. 8, that she has endorsed him for president.


Must be a evil liberal lie, though. Especially considering FactCheck has put out the fires on nearly every rumor that has been circulating conservative websites.

Also, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was from 1995 to 2001, it ended long before FactCheck.org got started in 2003. So there's really no connection other than they were funded by the same Republican chaired group.
