He worked with ACORN — the voter fraud types.

Why is GOP sneering at Obama's work as community organizer?

As well as Obama may have organized his community in Chicago, it is now more dangerous than Iraq is. 123 murders in Chicago this summer?

Question answered:

Barack Obama didn’t accomplish much.

We sneer because we know the words "community organizer," especially in Chicago, are a sweet-smelling cover for Saul Alinsky-style "Marxist/socialist revolutionary."

To discover what the term really means go here: COMMUNITY ORGANIZING

her accomplishments tower over his like the sears tower over a KFC.

HEY! That's a racist comment. He's black and everyone knows blacks love fried chicken

I think you won the award.

Blackmail the corporations, get a grant to help the poor, do the least possible, grease the hands of the politicians and/or allow them media time championing the poor.

You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.

I like that McCain is running on the maverick position. I didn’t think I’d ever WANT to vote for McCain.

I have no objection to the job itself, but would love to know how much salary BO was pulling in compared with the real people who do the real work.

This guy is/was an activist - and the Dems pretty it up with community organizer?

Gimme a break.

Well I suppose we are sneering because it is the “Messiah” himself that holds this “job” out as proof he has experience enough to be the president of this country.

If memory serves, didn't some millions of dollars turn up unaccounted for on O'Bumers watch?

I've heard of padding the ole resume but this is beyond ridiculous.

[101voodoo]

I don’t know. I don’t recall seeing anything about that.

[Doohickey]

Communities should take care of their own and not depend on big government to do the job. And the folks who do make it should give back.

We agree wholeheartedly.

A complete, unadulterated fabrication.

Hey, I’ve got some “organizing” experience of my own out here in Los Angeles — was a volunteer at a Los Angeles police station, headed up a graffiti removal group, and served on the Board of my homeowners’ association for some 15 years.

Can I run for President now?

[relictele]

“Community organizer” sounds like a post held in Communist China.

[TX Bluebonnet]

I'm not entirely sure just what a “community organizer” is! My city is organized by its city government. (Led by the Mayor!!!) Various volunteer groups help when and where they can. Is a community organizer just a volunteer? I don't know. I'm a volunteer. I wasn't offended that they made fun of him for claiming that being a glorified volunteer gives him some kind of impressive resume to be President.

I had to laugh when the Democrats said the speech was offensive to “community organizers”. Isn't that just a made up term anyway. Who is offended exactly?! HaHaHa

[Rummyfan]

Have yet to have anyone in the MSM explain exactly what a community organizer does......

[relictele]

ACORN = proven vote-fraud conspirators

Obama = member of ACORN

therefore Obama = member of organization involved in vote fraud and he did not mention or condemn such acts.

QED

[freeangel]

The “experience” touted by godbama as a community organizer certainly had no accountability that went with it—no executive decisions and no life or death decisions which others were counting on. Heck, Cindy McCain has more experience as a community organizer —and in foreign nations, to boot.

[Walkers]

Chicago Community Organizer often leads to corruption and is about seeking power.
