Obama may well have used the Chicago Annenberg-Challenge to channel money to ACORN (and other radical groups of "community organizers"), few or none of whom had particular expertise in improving public education.

Oh, Nuts!
Wizbang — ... my way with her, regardless of her wishes? Yes, that's a facetious argument. It's hyperbole. But I first thought of it back during the pedophile priest scandal, when I wondered why so many people tried to excuse the rape of children by priests -- and the wholesale covering up by the Catholic Church of the whole mess -- by citing all the good works done by the Church. The defense pissed me off then, and it pisses me off even more today.
