Obama-Annenberg Papers To Be Released

This ought to be interesting. Nixon had his 18 minutes of missing tape. We have all come to be familiar with the word "redacted."

And then, of course, there's the question of what the defitnition of "is" is.

Bill Ayers and Barack Obama, two radical leftists, were given the responsibility of administering tens of millions of dollars.

I have a feeling we shall be encountering a ballet of obfuscation, and possibly outright abscontion, in the next few weeks as these papers are dissected.

From the Chicago Tribune, via S, C, & A:


Documents related to U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s service for a nonprofit education project started by former 1960s radical William Ayers will be released Tuesday from an archive at the University of Illinois at Chicago library, the university announced.

UIC said Friday it will make public its archive of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge in the library’s Special Collections Department. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was formed in 1995 to fund education reform initiatives in the city.

The university’s Richard J. Daley Library had refused to release records of the project, which had put Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in contact with Ayers, who now is an education professor in Chicago.

The university said it had determined after an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the gift that it has legal authority to allow public access.
