...98.3 percent of Americans have no clue what a "community organizer" is, what they do or who pays them.

They get paid? I'd have thought they'd do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

My first thought when I heard the phrase "community organizer" was that he was one of the guys that rounded up the homeless for those bus rides to the polls on election day and made sure they all got their malt liquor and cigarettes after they voted.

I have been a Community Organizer. It was part of the “Poverty Program’, and for people who could not find jobs elsewhere. We never knew from one season to the next if there would be enough grant money to fund the program again. If I were Obama, I would be ashamed to boast about having such a job, but it is work that did pay a small amount and helped to keep a single mother and family alive.
