CHRIS MATTHEWS to Bill Ayers, December 10, 2008, Hardball, MSNBC: “I was a Capitol policeman at the time, so I was one of the guys that could have been killed obviously at the time you put that, your guys put that bomb in there. So I have a little personal interest. It wasn’t [...]

I wanted to wait for a few days before commenting on the import of the election of Barack Obama. As longtime readers of NoQuarter know firsthand, Barack’s skin color has been completely irrelevant to the question of his qualification to be President.

Nobody can deny that Barack Obama certainly surrounds himself with slimeballs interesting friends.
Let’s see now. Last week we discussed the 2001 failed Superior Bank of Chicago and Penny Pritzker, Barack Obama’s Campaign Finance Chair. Ms. Pritzker, it seems, is the Mother of the subprime lenders and the Mortgage Meltdown. She did it before it was [...]

As Global Labor readers are well aware the University of Illinois at Chicago denied Stanley Kurtz of National Review access to the official records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the six-year-long $160 million education reform project led by, among others, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers.
The denial of access to the archives of the CAC was [...]

From today’s editorial, “New and Not Improved“ in the New York Times:
Senator Barack Obama stirred his legions of supporters, and raised our hopes, promising to change the old order of things. He spoke with passion about breaking out of the partisan mold of bickering and catering to special pleaders, promised to end President Bush’s abuses [...]
