...They run the food pantries, form the block watches, organize health fairs, clean up graffiti, ...

Also in Chicago politics - get the dead to vote.

She confuses “organizers” with “community organizers”.

Organizers organize to get something done. Community Organizers organize to get the government to do something.

We conservatives love the former and hate the latter.

Sorry Annie, but the issue is that community organizing does nothing to qualify one as President of the United States.

In my community no one gets paid for these activities, it is part of living in the 'community'.

Doing “commentary”....one of the few things less valuable than being a “community organizer.”

This is a woman who lives in ColumbASS, OH where the worst and most obnoxious fans in the country live. OSU fans make the taliban look like compassionate people.

That is what community organizers do. Obama got a lot of money to serve as a phone book.

Since the role of the "Community Organizer" is so important, Then all Obama needs to do is give us a list of his proud accomplishments during is tour of duty as a mighty community organizer.

Insert sound of crickets here.

The question that needs to be answered is “How much of his work is still in place today?” All that social work is fine, but if it just goes away, it doesn’t mean a thing and costs the more.

"...Ann Fisher commentary: This work is nothing to sneer at."

Yes, Ann...it is. It is one thing to be a “community organizer” and take personal pride on the basis of your own standards, whatever they may be.

It is quite another thing to enter the fray for the US Presidency, and make this one of your three major qualifications. (he has yet to make much of his..ahem...”experience” of being “president” of the Harvard Law Review (laughable) and a “professor” of “constitutional law”.

Notice how he doesn’t have the complete stupidity to promote his thing at Harvard because he knows would be laughed off the stage if he did. He lets others try to promote it, but even they sheepishly know how stupid it is to use that as any kind of qualification.

But isn’t it funny...you don’t hear a lot about his professorial days either, do you? I wonder why? Hmm. I wonder.

So that leaves him with his “experience” he thinks he can promote as a Saul Alinsky disciple as a community agitator, er, “organizer”, his experience as a state legislator, and his short stint in the US Senate.

From all accounts, during his days as a state legislator, he had the distinction of being disliked by others for his propensity to swoop in after all the months of hard work had been done by others and take the credit. What I would call a “Seagull Legislator”. (This is analogous to a “Seagull Manager who swoops in, craps all over everything then leaves)

And being a US Senator, well...there IS no “there” there. His candidacy is laughable.

Most Americans don’t know what a “community organizer” is or how you get that job, but if you explain it to them, they would look askance at you and say: “Oh. So, it is his job to stir people up and create trouble? Who pays his salary?”

This community organizer sounds like an incredible job. A great step prior to running for county dog catcher.

Where I come from, a lot of volunteers do this.

And they don’t list it on their resume!

In Cuba, they have Community Organizers, they are called the “Committee For the Defense of the Revolution” and basically their job is to tattle on anyone who doesn’t follow in lockstep with the government.

I’m beginning to be concerned that McCain/Palin may lose the community organizer vote.

Why do you demean dog catchers like that. At least they do have responsibilities and accountability.

Typical Ann Fisher. Hates conservatives and suburbia.

I would ask Ms. Fisher this question: If community organizers are doing such a fantastic job why, after spending untold millions of dollars taken from working folks at the point of a gun (read taxes) is the number of "needy" at about the same level it was some thirty years ago?
