#6 Don't know what's missing, but now they have plenty of people pawing through what's there. Whereas before it would have been Stan Kurtz and the NRO by himself.

Shrewd, these Obama people, real shrewd ...

#7 According to the first reports I read about this -- several weeks ago.... the final report of the project was not "hidden."

It got attention cause it pointed out the "failure" of the project. Kids did not produce any better than when those 40 millions dollars were funneled into the school system.

Managing a project with a budget of $40 million is a massive managerial project. It's looking like, the only executive/admin/make decision job that The One had, he botched it. Regardless of the team, as "director" it was his to fail or succeed.

And of course, that ole adage, "follow the money" will be revealing. But, I'd hammer the "failure" of the project.

In a previous life, I did some pretty extensive educational "counselling" for the Chicago city schools (and other large city districts throughout the US. You can be success in those inner city schools). I was appalled at attitudes, competency, etc. but we were able to have some successes. And I didn't work with a budget of $40 million.

Projects -- include not only working budgets, but personnel, vision, actionable objectives, and directing the traffic to put all the pieces together. Decision making is often, "on the spot." Especially if you are dealing with the "public" who all, having attended school, are experts.

The One, his failure to make this project a success is now advocating "change" with a national budget that measures in the trillions. It's a nightmare to only be imaged.
