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.

Community Organizer must be a very important position as it takes someone with an Ivy League Law degree. He should have spent some more time with the Harvard Guidance Counselor for career choices.

I'm not entirely sure just what a “community organizer” is!

It's another word for Communist, Red, Pinko, Fellow Traveller, etc.

Democrats’ Platform for Revolution

The term was used by, possibly coined by, Saul Alinsky. Wikipedia's entry is too kind to Alinsky . Alinsky hated America. His followers hate America. Hillary Clinton is a Alinsky inspired Commie too.

Right on, Rhode Island has essentially been taken over by the type of “HOPE” and “CHANGE” that the big O wants to bring to the rest of the country. “Community Organizers” have created a state where welfare queens, illegal immigration, outrageous taxes and low paying jobs are plentiful but personal responsibility, common sense and good paying jobs are a thing of the past. Be afraid people, don’t let this snake oil salesman into the White House...

Why not. You have more experience than Obama. Now if you could get elected to the city council or something and serve a few monthes, you could even hold yourself up above the govinator.

“I also wonder why we don’t see people who have benefitted from Obama’s community organizing lined up to tell us of his wonderful accomplishments.”

Because they:

a) are in jail
b) are wanted, dead or alive
c) cant put down the crack pipe
d) never saw him, just as he was never seen at Columbia.

The same reason if MY resume' listed "Community Organizer" as my only experience...I wouldn't get the job.

This is the most amazing admission in the article -

Obama was a lecturer for the University of Chicago, which has always been a private institution. It’s his friend Bill Ayers who teaches at a public institution, the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The premise behind the question is BS.

The actual SNEER was from the OBAMA camp about Palin being a small town mayor.

Not to mention, that was their INITIAL criticism, very snide, the mispronunciation of Wasilla and completely ignoring the fact that she is a sitting governor. Their immediate reaction to her selection led to the comebacks, not attacks, both from former MAYOR Giuliani and former mayor, CURRENT governor Palin.

so true, the pubbies just reacted to the audacity of Obama challenging the leadership experience of being a mayor.......and I think in the debate of opinion, the pubbies won out.

Thank you for the question.

Let me modify my question, which remains unanswered, accordingly.

How did a “community organizer” and “lecturer” at the University of Chicago compile a multi-million dollar portfolio, complete with a million-dollar mansion in one of the nation’s most upscale neighborhoods?

And here’s another question.

How did this do nothing empty suit, never had a real job, consort of terror bombers, Marxist radicals, racist bigots, and anti-Americans ever get elected to the U.S. Senate and have almost half the population of the U.S. willing to elect him President?

Something is mightily WRONG with this picture.

Is this the beginning of the “strong delusion” of the End Times mentioned in the Bible?

I sincerely doubt that Hotjobs, Careerbuilders and SimplyHired were around in the late 80s when BHO started his “job bank.” More than likely it was a storefront with a couple of desks and a few five-button key sets put in place to justify the $$$ it recieved from the Annenberg Fund. IIRC, 0’s “job bank” closed after only a few months.

I wonder what happened to Hoosiermama. The work she did on vote and voter fraud in the 06 cycle was outstanding...unfortunately, thanks to the Bush DoJ, it came to naught. She is missed.

because he first sneered at Palin's position as Mayor of a small town named "Wa-silly," and he conveniently disregards her job as Governor of Alaska... that's why...

Obe was apparently a Communist Organizer, even as a lecturer in the Law School.

It's also interesting that he doesn't send HIS kids to the CPS where he'd have a chance to join the PTA.
