During the 2008 presidential campaign Democrats ignored candidates of long standing, proven leadership to push the candidacy of a guy whose only real accomplishment was to have become a "community leader."

That report doesn’t explain the reason.
This is about black community groups who protested a policy set in place by Obama’s school czar a former Chicago Public school super who’s name escapes me at the moment. That policy caused the closing of one high school in a relatively stable black neighborhood to be transfered via distance bussing of high school students to an unstable gang infested area where the other school is located. And the location of the infamous video.
