Obama and the Woods Fund
The mainstream media is not much interested in probing Barack Obama’s record before he arrived in the U.S. Senate in 2004. For example, they have studiously ignored the eminently well-researched book by David Freddoso, The Case Against Barack Obama
The Woods Fund is a non-profit foundation which declares its goal to “increase opportunities for less advantaged people and communities by giving money primarily to not-for-profit groups involved in housing, the arts and other areas.” Obama joined the board of the Woods Fund in 1993 and remained until 2002. But Obama didn’t merely use the Woods Fund to help his fellow man — he used it to further his career.
According to a November 29, 2007 report from the Chicago Sun-Times, “Sen. Barack Obama was on the board of a Chicago charity when his former boss, Allison S. Davis, came looking for money. At the time, Davis was a developer represented by the law firm where Obama worked, as well as a small contributor to Obama’s political campaign funds. He wanted the charity to help fund his plans to build housing for low-income Chicagoans.”
When Davis approached the Woods Fund, he was building another apartment building with now convicted felon and Obama friend/fundraiser Tony Rezko. The Chicago Sun-Times recounts: “Obama agreed. He voted with other directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago to invest $1 million with Neighborhood Rejuvenation Partners L.P., a $17-million partnership that Davis still operates.” To date the Obama campaign has refused to comment on whether Obama disclosed his ties to Davis when he voted on the project. Another Woods Board Fund member with ties to Davis did abstain on the vote.
Perhaps the most notorious of the Woods Fund recipients was the Arab American Action Network (AAAN). AAAN was established in 1995 as non-profit group supposedly dedicated to improving the conditions of Arab immigrants in the Chicago area.
But its activities were hardly benign. For example, AAAN sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit on the “Nakba” — that is, the “catastrophe” of Israel’s establishment in 1948. AAAN’s officials routinely have made statements vilifying Israel. AAAN Board member Ali Abunimah in 2002 declared: “‘By deliberately denying food, water and medical aid, and wantonly destroying public and private property, and deliberately destroying the economy in the occupied territories, Israel is in flagrant breach of this [Geneva] Convention. … Unfortunately, we are seeing the world turn a blind eye to atrocities being committed under its nose.” (Abunimah co-founded and operates the Electronic Intifada, a website replete with anti-Israel slurs and which declares Israel to be an apartheid state.)
On the death of Yasser Arafat in 2004, Hatem Abudayyeh, executive director of AAAN, announced: “Arafat was a great man. Yes, Arafat was an icon. … We’re saddened by his death, but we don’t ignore the fact that this is not an issue of individuals, it’s an issue of a people who have been oppressed and occupied for 55 years.”
This should be a run away victory for the Democratic party this year, problem is they have put a very flawed candidate as their standard bearer.
These revelations are the perfect response to Obama’s ‘Change you can beleive in’ fraud.
Woods Fund, Annenberg Foundation, Ayers, Wright, Rezko …. There’s nothing positive in Obama’s past. Nothing.
It’s unfortunate that today’s youth cannot recognize the fraud. Obama is just the front man for some sort of neo-Bolshevism, changing his tune now to get elected, but sure to revert to old form should he come to power.
And when can we expect to see ABC’s Charlie Gibson grill Obama on all this??
Oh, right – that would be friendly fire.

Jennifer, glad you’re looking at this in more depth.
In March, I tracked back some of the Woods Fund contributions, which you may have interest in exploring as well.

The Annenberg Challenge files double secret probation jitsu wasn’t at the U. of Chicago, a private institution which has slender legal obligations to release to the public anything in its records and holdings. But rather it was at the U. of Illinois, Chicago; a campus of the University of Illinois system which is a completely public institution fully so obligated.
The MP3 of Stanley Kurtz’s interview on Milt Rosenberg’s radio show (WGN) is worth listening to in full (ca. 1.5 hrs), rich in Obamazombie call-ins scripted verbatim by The One’s national HQ in Chicago. Rosenberg, a senior prof at U, Chicago, was astonished and embarrassed, and rightly so. Here’s the URL:
DANGEROUS DEMOCRATIC PARTY
ABC has edited Sarah’s interview, horribly. Even dangerously. Because Russia really could conclude the next war is coming. But the full version shows that Sarah said exactly the opposite. The dems are ready to provoke an international conflict rather than to loose the elections. What a party.
THE FULL INTERVIEW WITH SARAH, WITH EDITED OUT PARTS, Pt. 1:
http://marklevinshow.com/gibson-interview
In matters of Acorn, obama never voted Present.
In matters of public record where anyone might get wind of his cultivated motivations, he mastered the art of voting Present.
The media has completely given all these old relationships a pass, doing no Due Diligence preferring always to vote ” Present”.
A system is only as good as its own sensory organs……..
This relationship apparently began before Obama went to law school and is more extensive than Obama admits. It certainly raises questions. Many people think that Obama decided to attend Harvard Law at the urging of Tom and Bill Ayers.
Note Obama served on Three boards with William Ayers’ connections including the less well known, anti-gun Joyce Foundation.

@ DOUG:
Thank you very, very much for the link. You’ve got a great site. Still cannot understand why nobody makes a story out of it, not even the FoxNews guys (those of them who are pro-Reps).
One of the most shocking sub-links on your site was the one with the pictures of OBAMA’S ACTIVITY AS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. Wow. We’ve seen that and … what should one say? It’s not the same when you just read it. OMG, that’s all, and many many f-words. If you allow, I’d like to post this link from your site too. Thanks again.

Obama is the type of politician who, on his way up, justifies his shady and dishonest dealings with the local political machine as a necessary evil in order to get high above it, and then reform it from the top down. Trouble is, that rarely happens. Usually, the politician gets captured by a higher level of graft and political manipulation at the federal level of politics just like he did on the way up. Anyone think Huey Long was going to be clean and honest if he ever landed in the White House? The only politician I can think of who came up through a corrupt machine to govern as an honest man was Harry Truman.
Thank you for this well-researched article about Obama’s dangerous relationships and affiliations. He is looking more and more like a “Manchurian Candidate.”
The fact that MSM doesn’t touch the subject is quite disturbing and makes me wonder how much the media is controlled by people with the same views and connections as Obama.
Just imagine, all the MSM know about this stuff. Larry King and the like know about all BHO’s corruption in Chicago. They all know but push him up anyway, trying to sell him as an agent of “change”. They know!!!!!!! Creepy. Really creepy.
Therese, good observation.
The math of the electorate is routinely lied about by the msm. 51% of potential voters dont vote historically. Sara/McCain are reformers, and the only kind of politician whose worth voting for..
The ticket needs 15% boost from the Non Voting Majority………focus on friends who never vote, everyone knows them because they are surrounding the party faithful, angry that the party faithful continues its hubris despite feedback from their own approval ratings.
let them know that thier freedom, is at stake, because the largesse of a socialist state will destroy everyone. the insiders dreams for our beautiful country are not the same dreams of the rest of us.
RE: Frank Logan’s post
Ther is also a good “Obama Timeline” in Frddoso’s book, “The Case Against Barack Obama.”
Great article but it is the University of Illinois-Chicago that has the Annenberg records.
Geraldine Ferraro has recently said on the FoxNews that actually WE SHOULDN’T BE SURPRISED WHEN OBAMA WINS THE ELECTION (the video was still available today on
http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html – it was in the section “Politics” under the name “Working Girl”)
Ferraro said: “At 1984 we had crowds, we had people running, we had sc…, we had all kinds of excitement. And then the election came, we’ve been 16 points behind, we’ve ended up with 15 or 16 points behind on the election day. You know where the women went? The majority of women who used to be at all my ralleys, who were all excited, the majority of women voted for Ronald Reagan”. Then she said that women vote for the issues, not for inspiring persons (or something like that).
First of all, some strange points in the statement itself:
1. Ferraro really believes (?) those women who “used to be at all /her/ ralleys” are the majority of American women.
2. She was surpirsed (?) by the difference between the results and what? The POLLS? Made by the dems to manipulate the “sheeple”, and they didn’t work?
3. I’ve seen the old videos of Ferraro as a VP-candidate: she is far, far away from Sarah, even more far than Hillary is. I’ll never believe the whole female America could identify herself with Ferraro, even 1984.
4. And who could imagine her as a Commander in Chief, during the Cold War? C’mon!
5. Ferraro seems to forget that Sarah has inspired men! not only women! Even sexist men, like Rush Limbaugh e.g.
Her “surprise” is, sorry, absurd and artificial.
The question is, why does she say all this sh…? Is it a new tactic from the Obama campaign? They cannot manipulate with polls so easily anymore. What are they gonna do now? If we see the dark records of Obama and his friends in Chicago, and all what they try to do with Sarah now, wow, these people won’t stop at anything at all. Will they be desperate enough to try to manipulate the results of the election? (Obama’s ACORN is known for electorial frauds) Or voting machines? (Has anyone heard from Diebold after they’ve said: yes, our voting machines are easy to manipulate? It was a couple of months ago. In August?)
But Sarah is too popular, nobody will believe in Obama’s victory anymore. Unless someone very respected by the Reps will say: oh, btw, it already has happened before. And here comes Geraldine Ferraro: I’m so fascinated by Sarah, I even cannot decide whom I’ll elect this year, BUT: don’t get suspicious when Obama wins! Great, Geraldine, good job! Uncle Barry will give you a lollipop.
Regarding ACORN, the close relationship remains to the current day. The Obama campaign for POTUS paid an offshoot of ACORN more than $800,000, which was initially mislabelled on federal election reports as “Staging, Sound, Lighting” and “Advance Work”.
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/22/acorn-watch-pt-ii-obama-hid-800000-payment-to-acorn-through-citizen-services-inc/
Chapters of ACORN are also under investigation in many cities for fraudulent voter registration. Voter registrations were made up by their employees out of whole cloth, dead voters were registered, registration cards were submitted for voters who were already registered, fake social security numbers and drivers license numbers were used, etc, ad nauseum. Of course, in every case, ACORN blamed this on “rogue” employees.

I am not so sure Americans expect a “clean” candidate. In politics, everyone gets roughed up occasionally. However, they do expect a candidate who vets their own associations & backgrounds as fully as possible.
Obama has not done this & based on his connections & funds he helped channel to contributors, he does not want anyone to discuss his relationships.
Obama may not be Muslim, but he has shown a significant desire to apologize for Islamist acts that are nothing less than terrorism or the sponsorship of it or the wink & nod approval of it, when it comes to Israel & perhaps even America, since according to Obama, we are broken & need fixed according to “HIS” prescriptions!
Absolutely EXCELLENT piece. Top notch research and journalism. Kudos. It is really sad teh MSM is failing
the public so blatantly.
Should be posted on RCP.
Rgarding “the Woods fund,” as well as other less-than-fully-examined/vetted elements of the Democratic Party’s candidate, there is a fair amount of good source material/references in Corsi’s book “Obama Nation.”

Thank you very much for the link, LOL. Illuminating.
Medius Vulgaris & Hockimomus Alaskus – Great!
Thanks again!
Sorry–you guys are wrong about Obama. He is an honorable and decent Senator who will make a great President.
Where are Obama’s friends? His family is under lock and key. I don’t even know what his typical white grandmother looks like – haven’t seen enough pictures of her.
Where are his normal friends? Not Oprah, Kennedy or other celebrities, but real people in his life. Who’s his best friend besides Michelle? Even at the Democratic Convention I missed hearing testimony from his friends.
What’s up with that? Is that normal?
People, here are the facts about Barack Obama and William Ayers—
1) When William Ayers was a radical leftist who co-founded the Weatherman, committed heinous terrorist acts against the United States Capitol building and the Pentagon, his radical history was between 1968-1972. Here is his life story in Wikipedia below —
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers
2) Between 1968-1972, Barack Obama was between ages 7-11 years old and did NOT know William Ayers. He was TOO YOUNG. Here is his life story in Wikipedia below —
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
3) Obama did not meet Ayers until 1995, 23 years after Ayers radical history. Obama was introduced to Ayers by Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer, as her chosen successor since she is stepping down from the Illinois state senate and running for Congress. Here is the story of the meeting in the link below —
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8630.html
In closing, all these propagandas are false. Obama did not meet Ayers until 1995, as they ALL want to make people believe. Please do your own research before believing these ole timers. Obama’s proposal of “Change” for the better is a HUGE threat to them. They are all incapable of “Change” or even the slightest chance of accepting it. Think “Ed Wallis” in these posts. So here is my wisdom for everyone –
***Conservatism is the tired old need to hang on to the past while liberalism is a need for change for a brighter future.***
whether Obama was 8 when Ayers did his dirty work is irrelevant. Ayers still maintains that he did the right thing. He has recently given interviews saying so. So Obama knew what Ayers still was and is, the whole time they have worked together. Obamas defensive about being 8 yrs old is more of the sophistry he is so good at.

Soooo, if Timothy McVeigh, were he still alive today, had been blessed with a well-connected corporate titan as a father, had then gone on to become a university professor, there would be nothing wrong with associating with him in, say, 2018?

Just asking.
The Woods Fund history reads exactly like the tragedy which befell J. Howard Pew.
When you see or hear anything with Pew attached to it, now you know … just as Frank and Nelle Woods had their vision corrupted and turned to the very opposite purposes they intended …
excerpted from Legacy and Betrayal, The Problem of Donor Intent, by Martin Morse Wooster. (Capital Research Center, 1998, 198 pages) …
… Martin Morse Wooster points out in The Great Philanthropists & the Problem of “Donor Intent,” from the creation of the first large charitable foundations early in this century, something very strange occurred: professional bureaucrats gradually took over the foundations and perverted their purposes. Thus the Rockefeller Foundation, set up by the billionaire Baptist businessman, soon became a major source of funds for “progressive” (i.e., anti-business, anti-religious) causes.
This happened even in many cases where the person who created and funded the foundation went to great lengths to see that it focused on promoting free enterprise. Consider the case of J. Howard Pew of Sun Oil. During his lifetime, he was a tireless champion of free markets and individualism. In 1957, he created the J. Howard Pew Freedom Trust, with instructions that it use its funds to “acquaint the American people” with “the evils of bureaucracy,” “the values of the free market,” and “the paralyzing effects of government controls on lives and activities of people,” to “inform our people of the struggle, persecution, hardship, sacrifice and death by which freedom of the individual was won” and to educate them about how “Socialism, Welfare statism [and] Fascism . . . are but devices by which government seizes the ownership or control of the tools of production.” In accordance with those wishes, the Freedom Trust funded mostly libertarian and conservative activities, as long as its board consisted of Pew family members and friends.
…. end quote.
Then, something happened.
Frank Woods and his wife Nelle established the Woods Fund for righteous reasons; doing what they could with their wealth to further civil rights. In 1941, this was courageous, and could hardly be termed a progressive or Marxist tool. So what happened? How did Woods Fund change course so radically that its chartered heading became a hot bed of political Marxist activism?
Answer – the same thing which happened to so many other wealthy funds, trusts and non-profits established with the money earned by responsible men and women in the garden of American Capitalism … it was stolen.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action, Sherlock Holmes said. The number of trusts and charitable funds established with goodwill and bedrock American values that later were found to be inhabited by their very opposites, indeed, their enemies … is neither a natural entropy nor curious social drifting. It was a targeted, specific, planned silent takeover of “other people’s money” in order to aid, abet and further the Marxist assault on America’s foundations. It was asymetric guerilla war.
Guerilla warfare strategizes using an enemy’s strengths against him. Use the target’s resources, use his ideas, and most especially turn his institutions against him. It’s all very quiet, very social, and very hard to guard against. And our enemy has been supremely successful in getting control of billions and billions of dollars in 501(c)3 wealth with different rules and different oversight in disclosure, transparency, and right intent. Of note, not just that anytime you see Pew mentioned you know now that you’re watching the output of a corrupt organization that purloined J Howard Pews fortune to viciously assault the very thing his money was supposed to defend … you can also see the context now of how effective Lyndon Johnson was in one master stroke eliminating America’s churches from the political battlefield by establishing those clauses in Title 26, the IRS Code, which threaten a church if they speak out politically. Silence the pulpit, steal all the money. Very effective.
None of this is by accident.
Silence your critics.
Get control of their money and use it against them.
It didn’t “just happen”. It was strategic, and tactical and Americans just couldn’t believe there were people amongst us so vile they could do such things. Yet, here we are. And I’m sure it tickles Obama to know he rode Frank Woods’ hard earned money to the prominence he enjoys now, not having earned one nickel of any of the wealth that brought him glory and fame.
J Howard Pew is spinning in his grave.
Ayers hosted Obama’s coming-out party as a politician. He’s not just some guy from the neighborhood. They are PALS! As far as I’m concerned, that disqualifies him from public office right there. And yeah, Daley too.
I’m still waiting to hear about an Obama accomplishment. Something tangible you can point to and say, “Obama was instrumental.”
Between CAC and Woods, hundreds of millions of dollars was distributed. The only thing that improved was Obama’s political career. What a horrible waste.
“Jeff” 4:37am –
You are a fraud, in that speaking “half” (and I’m being GENEROUS here, child) the truth is as evil as a lie.
WOW. 5 minutes over at “wikipedia.com” from mommy’s basement…you are SUCH a “researcher”! /sarc
You OMIT Zerobama’s yearlong involvement SINCE 1995 with unrepentant domestic terrorist AYERS who, to today, says “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
TRY SEARCHING CORSI’s book, “Obama Nation” for F A C T S on this awful candidate’s past behavior.
Taking responsibility for your own efforts is a sign of maturity. You could learn from that too, “Jeff.”

…but I have reason to doubt it.. Over at the “Charlie Gibson” thread; “Jeff” (1:34pm) writes:
“Charlie Gibson is a liberal elitist fool.
His condescending arrogance during his interview with VP nominee, Sarah Palin, was palpable.
The liberal, mainstream media are in a tizzy over Sarah Palin. They have no idea of how to deal with such a woman – a woman of substance and integrity.
This media will continue to attack and try to trap the VP nominee. I believe that she handled Charlie Gibson’s obnoxious demeanor quite well.
I have all of the confidence in the world in Governor Palin.
It is my hope and prayer that she and John McCain win the election on 11/4.”
“Jeff” is – to use a younger person’s jargon – a “tool.”
Jeff,
I apologize for my stupidity as an old man. I can sometimes be alittle condescending. I know my stupidity knows no bounds and I am truly sorry.
No, Jeff.
Obama met Ayers years earlier. It was Ayers’ dad who got Obama his job with the lawfirm where he met his belle, Michelle. You see, Michelle and Barry go way back with Ayers and Dohrn. Dohrn worked at the lawfirm along with Barry and his belle.
There’s so much more you need to know, Jeff.
A video on the topic of this thread:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-45A6I-N5I
Why is this all so convoluted ?
Radical Islamists have vowed to wipe all of us Unbelievers from the Earth.
“the Woods Fund” and similar human endeavors have made barely a whit of difference in the human condition.
You don’t help people through “agencies” when people aren’t willing to help themselves on their own behalf.
Yasser Arafat was a self serving megalomaniac. And, truth be told, likely a pervert when it came to a penchant for young boys.
Are we there yet ?
On September 14, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a piece on Senator Obama which made omissions here and there. Despite a laudatory tone, his abilities for walking on water didn’t make it onto the page. But in a great gaping black hole of omission, nothing whatever was said of his tenure as Chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, nor was the wastage of the entire $150,000,000 disbursement mentioned. It was supposed to improve the performance of school children in Chicage – it entirely failed to do so. More likely it went to ACORN-style groups.
But the San Francisco Chronicle’s goal is to praise Caesar Obama, not to bury him in embarrassing facts. So those facts are cleverly edited out.
On May 8, 2008 Rashid Khalidi wrote, “The ‘Palestine Question’..has become a running sore.” Four days later on May 12 Jeffrey Goldberg asked Obama if “Israel is a drag on America’s reputation..? Obama answered, “I think…this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy.”

Anyone who loves America would never vote for BO. Only twisted or feeble minds could justify voting for him.
Ed Wallis,
You are a true believer of blog sites. It tells me quite a lot about you. I should write a blog so that you can read it too and take it as fact.
As far as my Charlie Gibson thread comment, I have told your miserable, over-the-hill, one-track minded excuse of a human being that it was not me and a doppelganger Jeff from the Right. I believe that you were posing as me. I have filed a complaint to PJM that you are repeatedly posting this all over PJM to try and debunk me as a flip flopper. You should seriously stop this, or maybe, just maybe, you are becoming senile which will destroy your credibility even more.
Here’s another good take on Ayers and Obama:

“Jeff” 2:31pm,
I find it a pity that someone misued your “tag” in one post; perhaps you failed to note that my first reaction to this was to ask you for clarification on your seeming 180-degree turn in opinion.
You then responded by posting falsely under my “tag” AND ADMITTING IT.
That is extremely childish behavior and, as you may now know, in error, as I had nothing to do with the first anonymous moron’s act of pretending to be you.
I have better things to do…like thinking and writing.
Grow up…better yet, grow up and buzz off, until you have something of import to say.
Jen, as always I appreciate your work but you must know deep down in your journalistic soul that the administration of the Woods Fund is not as news worthy as the fact that the snowbilly purchased and installed a tanning bed. The ability to recognize and report real news is what separates the professionals from bloggers. Nevertheless keep up the good work. ;-/
Ed Wallis,
You are the one who needs to buzz off. As I had recalled, it was you who first started to antagonize my post with your own delirium, ole timer.
This is the slogan we should pound into everyone’s head.
Should Barack Obama become our President, HE WILL “CHANGE” and then there will be NO “HOPE” left for America.!!
those that would vote for obama have a death wish for america and her freedoms. im so saddened by this.
