Video: Obama in 2000

By on 9.15.08 @ 8:00PM

(Via Ace of Spades.) I'm not familiar enough with the role of Bill Ayers in this project, or in the Woods Fund project, to say whether the accusations in the video slides are fair or accurate. What we do get from the video is that, just 8 years ago, Obama cited the Annenberg Challenge as a major resume-enhancer, whereas now his campaign considers it a "smear" to discuss it.
