Quick-before they scrub everything.

Google is doing a celebration of its 10th birthday by restoring indexes from 2001… before BO was well-known and before BO’s thugs got to it and spammed / censored it. So, all these pages etc are really from 2001. So, all these pages etc are really from 2001.

Should a child ever be called a “super predator?”
A panel at the University of Chicago debates the merits of the juvenile justice system
Children who kill are called “super predators,” “people with no conscience,” “feral pre-social beings"–and “adults.”

William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court(Beacon Press, 1997), says “We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn’t suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?”

Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop of the Reynolds Club, 5706 S. University Ave.

The panel, which marks the 100th anniversary of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is part of the Community Service Center’s monthly discussion series on issues affecting the city of Chicago.

The event is free and open to the public.

Ayers will be joined by Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the University of Chicago Law School, who is working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system; Randolph Stone, Director of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic at the University of Chicago; Alex Correa, a reformed juvenile offender who spent 7 years in Cook County Temporary Detention Center; Frank Tobin, a former priest and teacher in the Detention Center who helped Correa; and Willy Baldwin, who grew up in public housing and is currently a teacher in the Detention Center.

The juvenile justice system was founded by Chicago reformer Jane Addams, who advocated the establishment of a separate court system for children which would act like a “kind and just parent” for children in crisis.

One hundred years later, the system is “overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist,” Ayers said.

Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University of Chicago Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

“We know that issues like juvenile justice impact each of us who live in the city of Chicago. This panel gives community members and students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it.”

Mr. Obama tries to go to Washington
Law School lecturer charts an unconventional path to Congress

In many respects, Barack H. Obama is much like his fellowfaculty members of the U of C Law School. With a bachelor's from Columbia, a J.D. from Harvard, and a stint as president of the Harvard Law Review, Obama could easily have spent his days doing research on the tenure track.

Or, like his Harvard classmates, he could be pulling down six- or seven-figure salaries in a LaSalle or Wall Street law firm. But instead, Obama has spent his time in the inner city, setting up job training and public health programs for low-income populations, and encouraging them to vote.

Now, Obama, who has served as a senior lecturer at the Law School since 1993, and as an Illinois state senator since 1996, is trying to take this work a step further by running for the U.S. Congress.

"The First Congressional District is a historic district; this was the first African-American district in the country. The entire African-American community looks towards the occupant of this congressional seat for leadership," he said. "It's my sense that Congressman [Bobby] Rush has been relatively passive in this seat. He hasn't taken much leadership on some of the major issues that confront the community."

Obama's trek to Washington started in Hawaii, where Obama's Kenyan father met his Kansas-born mother. His parents divorced shortly after his birth in 1961. His mother remarried an Indonesian man, and Obama spent five years of his early life in Indonesia.

He later returned to Hawaii, where he attended high school. He received an undergraduate degree in political science in 1983 from Columbia University, where he developed his a lifelong interest in community organizations.

"I realized I was interested in how to address issues of poverty and high unemployment in urban areas. And I also became interested in political organizing in general; I was active in the anti-apartheid campaign that was very active on college campuses back in the early '80s," said Obama. "I worked as a journalist for a year after college and then decided I wanted to become an organizer."

Obama started with an organizing job in Harlem. Meanwhile, the Developing Communities Project in Chicago, made up of a church leaders on the far South Side, was looking to hire a young organizer to address the many issues that to plagued their communities. Offered $12,000 a year and a $1,000 grant to buy a used car, Obama drove to Chicago and took the job.

"I started working right away with the churches," Obama said. "A lot of the steel plants had closed. There was a lot of racial transition in the community; basically the entire area had gone from white to black and Hispanic in a decade. For three and a half years, I worked to set up job training programs and addressed issues concerning school reform, public housing, public health programs and city services."

Obama then returned to school in 1988 and obtained a law degree at Harvard University. While in law school, he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review and worked on the executive board of the Black Law Students Organization.

After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1991, Obama wrote a book about his heritage and his father's return to Africa called Dreams for My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, which was published in 1995.

Obama also served as the Illinois director of Project Vote!, an organization that registered nearly 150,000 new voters in communities with low-income and minority populations during the 1992 presidential campaign.

After the election, rather than going to work for a large corporate law firm or an investment banking firm, Obama chose Miner, Barnhill and Galland, a small civil rights firm where he practiced law for four years. During this time, he married his wife, Michelle, who now works as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the U of C. He also became a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, a position he still holds today.

Crain's Chicago Business named Obama one of the "40 under 40" outstanding leaders in the city in 1993. He also received the IVI-IPO's Legal Eagle Award for his work to bring Illinois into compliance with the State Voter Registration Law.

In 1995, incumbent State Senator Alice Palmer vacated her 12th District seat to run for Congress in the 2nd Congressional District. "Some mutual supporters asked me if I might be interested in running [for Palmer's seat], and I thought about it and decided to throw my hat in the ring," said Obama. He was elected to the Illinois Senate the following year.

In the three and a half years he has been in the State Senate, Obama has continued to work as a civil rights attorney and has served on the board of a number of not-for-profit foundations.

"I still do some practice--civil rights law and employment discrimination law, and also some work for community development organizations that are working for affordable housing or setting up health centers," Obama said. He also served as the chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which gave $50 million to school reform efforts across the city during the mid-1990s.

During his first year as state senator, Obama focused on welfare reform. "I focused on the issue of welfare reform because the federal government had just ended the 60-year entitlement to welfare and had block-granted the welfare programs to the states," he said. "I worked to set up a program that didn't just kick people off welfare rolls, but provided support services like daycare, health care, transportation assistance and job training."

The next year, Obama concentrated on juvenile justice reform, an issue which he said will also be a focus for him in Congress. "We have, in this state, a bias towards incarceration as the solution to our crime problems, particularly when it comes to juveniles," Obama said.

"I worked as the lead Democratic negotiator to craft a major reform of the Juvenile Justice Bill and didn't get everything I wanted, but I was able to help secure $20 million per year for juvenile crime prevention and intervention," he said.

In his third year, Obama focused on campaign finance reform, which had become a major issue on both a state and national level following accusations of wrongdoing during the 1996 presidential election. "I worked with former U.S. Senator Paul Simon to bring together a bipartisan group that designed the first campaign finance reform legislation to date in 25 years and I was one of 14 co-sponsors of the bill," he said.

Recently, Obama has concentrated on public health, for which he has been the Democratic spokesperson since he entered the Senate.

"I've been deeply involved in setting up assisted living programs that assure that our seniors don't just have to go to nursing homes, but can have some intermediate care while still staying at home. I was the chief sponsor of the Bernardin Amendment to create a constitutional amendment encouraging the Legislature to design programs to provide basic health care to uninsured persons throughout the state," Obama said.

Obama has also focused on education and tax reform. "I've been very active on the education front in trying to change the school funding formula that we have in this state, which I think is biased towards property-rich districts because it's so reliant on property taxes," he said.

"I've also been very concerned with tax justice issues; we have one of the more regressive tax systems in the state and in the country, and I was one of the leading proponents two years ago to get the personal exemption on the income tax increase. This year, I'm pushing very hard for the earned income tax credit at the state level to mirror what's going on at the federal level. I'm going to measure this design to provide some tax relief to the working poor," he said.

After focusing on issues central to developing and sustaining urban centers like the South Side, Obama decided he was prepared to take on Congressman Bobby Rush in this year's congressional race. He says that Rush hasn't paid enough attention to the community during his seven and a half years in the U.S. Congress.

If elected to Congress, Obama says he will continue working to solve the most important issues that affect the South Side of Chicago, including education, health care, juvenile justice, gun control and urban development.

"The top priority is figuring out how to retool and revamp our public education system to provide the skills to our young people that allow them to compete in the new global economy," he said. "A lot of that is a state and local function, but I think the Federal Government can make a significant difference in improving access to technology in the schools, hiring more teachers, and providing better training."

Obama also sees a strong federal role in health care. "I think that ultimately we should provide some basic health care to all citizens through programs designed at the federal level, even if some of the implementation takes place at the state level," Obama said.

Obama also hopes to soon see the South Side of Chicago enjoy the same economic benefits enjoyed by more prosperous communities. "We've had a wonderful, booming economy, and Hyde Park has been part of that boom. But the South Side as a whole has not experienced the same levels of growth that have taken place across the country, and I think part of that is because we haven't devoted enough resources to job training and providing the human capital that we need to compete," he said.

The Democratic primary, where Obama will compete against Rush, fellow State Senator Donne E. Trotter and Charles Roby, will be held March 21.

CNN (pro-obama MSM) does detail analysis today on Ayer-Obama Connection and shows that Obama is lying about the connection. Shocker. I have a feeling McCain is going to talk about this tonight at the townhall.

Keep it up Palin, McCain and Beckwith. We are getting under Obama's skin. Coincidence (Obama's line) or actually a connection trying to cover up and look that Rev. Wright is implicated as well. Wow!

Beckwith, you need to post this McCain Ad on Ayers. This is excellent. Hillbuzz is reporting that there is a rumor going around that there is an AUDIO TAPE of Obama and Ayers talking about how much better America would be if it was a communist state.

Well, when this one comes out, like the other tapes, Obama is going to regret the call to McCain to say it to his face (Ayers connection), McCain-Palin are going to shove it up his biracial ass like Will Smith did in the Hancock movie.

PUMA 2008!

NEW ORLEANS, LA -- ACORN&rsquo;s Political Action Committee today announced that it has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President.<br />&nbsp;<br />ACORN PAC&rsquo;s representatives went through an extensive process of interviewing each of the major Democratic candidates. ACORN is a national anti-poverty organization which has hundreds of thousands of members in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods in 104 cities.<br /><br />&ldquo;Last night, Sen. Obama received the more than necessary two-thirds of the majority needed from our elected national leadership to secure the endorsement,&rdquo; said Maude Hurd, ACORN&rsquo;s National President. &ldquo;Over the past months, we have worked with the leading candidates; ACORN&rsquo;s members have deep appreciation and respect for Senators Clinton and Edwards and their work on behalf of our communities. What it came down to was that Senator Obama is the candidate who best understands and can affect change on the issues ACORN cares about like stopping foreclosures, enacting fair and comprehensive immigration reform, and building stronger and safer communities across America.&rdquo;<br /><br />Alicia Russell of Arizona, ACORN&rsquo;s western regional representative, said Obama relates to the issues facing low- and moderate-income people. &ldquo;I think he will commit himself to providing us the necessary path for the low-income and moderate-income families to improve their lives,&rdquo; Russell said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s on the same level as we are, and sees our issues as we do.&rdquo;<br /><br />In the past three weeks, Sen. Obama has met with ACORN leaders regarding foreclosure prevention solutions, including a roundtable discussion on Tuesday in San Antonio.<br /><br />&ldquo;Texas ACORN members are proud to stand with Senator Obama in calling for fundamental change in our economy to protect homeowners and neighborhoods from the scourge of foreclosures that is sweeping communities across Texas,&rdquo; said Texas ACORN president Toni McElroy.<br /><br />When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education.&nbsp; Senator Obama said, &quot;I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school.&nbsp;&nbsp; That's the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it.&nbsp; I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career.&nbsp; Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.&rdquo;<br /><br />ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is the nation's largest community organization of low- and&nbsp; moderate-income families, with over 350,000 member families&nbsp; organized into 800 neighborhood chapters in 104 cities across the&nbsp; country.&nbsp; Since 1970 ACORN has taken action and won victories on&nbsp;&nbsp; issues of concern to&nbsp; its&nbsp; members, including better housing for&nbsp; first time homebuyers and tenants, living wages for low-wage workers, more investment in our communities from banks and governments, and better public schools.<br />

Obama on Ayers: I assumed he had been rehabilitated. (WTF?)

Does this idiot think we are STUPID? He is a lawyer, like I am. He knows what REPUTATION means that is a general perception by the community of who a person is and character traits. People in Chicago know who Ayers is. Hell, he has videos and a book out about it. He should have known who he was. He thinks that stating this phrase makes it all go away. What an IDIOT.

Now he and his campaign are flip-flopping on the initial post b/c it was a crock of shit.

From Politico:
De-rehabilitated

The Obama campaign quickly steps back from Obama's candor yesterday, in which he said he's sat on a board with Ayers because he assumed from his stature in Chicago that he'd been "rehabilitated:"

Obama spox Bill Burton says of Obama's comment that he thought Ayers had been "rehabilitated": "Senator Obama was referring to his education work but he of course does not believe that work absolves him of the despicable acts that he committed 40 years ago."

(Via Tapper. Of course. Who else uses "spox"?)

Ayers (in his own words) to overthrow American Capitalism (now this is the movie clip they are doing). Pass the word around. Al Qaeida, Osama, Obama, Farrakhan, Wright, and Ayers want to overthrow American capitalism. Period!

All of you regular readers know all about Barack Obama’s extensive ties to William (Bill) Ayers, for over two decades — probably longer since the two lived about a block apart in New York City while Obama was at Columbia University (he graduated in 1983).

Besides their long political and social ties in Chicago — Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn hosted Obama’s first political fundraiser — it is of the highest importance that more people learn that it was Bill Ayers who hired Barack Obama as chairman of the $50-million Chicago Annenberg Project, which Ayers designed as a “real life” vehicle of his radical views of public education.

Now, here is the video that, for the first time, gives you a more complete and terrifying portrait of the kind of person who Bill Ayers is. Every voter must ask if we want a president who has a longtime social, political and professional business relationship with such a person:
