AL Sharpton without the charm.
How much do you want to bet that BHO was working with or for ACORN?
Wow. This is news four days before the election! You’d think he would have used this bit of info to impress NY voters in the primary.
Bump for Friday reading.
Barack was doing coke, perhaps after a hard day of organizin’ during this time. Tomorrow is the day to inform America, if they were not aware already, that Barack was a self-admitted cokehead then. Cocaine, you typical white person religious and gun clingin’ fanatics out there. And he says we got problems? What did he not do for the white lines while he was hatin’ the white peoples of the suburbs? How much **** did he **** for coke?
PING!
At last, the missing Columbia years exposed: “Community organizing” in Harlem! “
Very important find. Thank you!
Bookmark for later read.
bumping
I suggest a new poll:
How many people who early voted and voted for Obama would have changed their minds if they had waited until Nov 4th?
The year as a "community organizer" in Harlem is mentioned in his book, and has been written about elsewhere.
A year after he graduated from Columbia, Obama spent a year as an organizer for the New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) at the City College of New York in Harlem.
PIRG is a corrupt college-based Nader organization that supposedly lobbies for environmental causes. "Organizers" are essentially door-to-door fund-raisers, and it has no connection to ACORN.
VERY IMPORTANT!!
Obama was ostensibly very poor going to Columbia on a shoestring! BULLSH*T!
Here we find him a Community Organizer in Harlem! He takes 4 years at Columbia to complete 2 years of sudy since he transferred from Occidental as a Junior supposedly(cant beleve anything this conarist says)
While at Columbia, Obama doesn’t live in Harlem or on Campus! Obama lives ON EAST 94TH STREET!!! THATS HIGH RENT AND HIGH STATUS ADDRESS! WHO IS Paying for This!
Big Questions for RUSH, HANNITY, AND McCAIN!!! TODAY!!
WAS OBAMA FUNDING HIS COLUMBIA DAYS THRU COKE SALES? or WAS A SUGAR DADDY SPONSORING HIS LIFE AT THIS TIME??

Excerpt:
After about a year, he was hired by the New York Public Interest Research Group, a nonprofit organization that promotes consumer, environmental and government reform. He became a full-time organizer at City College in Harlem, paid slightly less than $10,000 a year to mobilize student volunteers.
Mr. Obama says he spent three months “trying to convince minority students at City College about the importance of recycling” — a description that surprised some former colleagues. They said that more “bread-and-butter issues” like mass transit, higher education, tuition and financial aid were more likely the emphasis at City College.

The whole document is interesting, but if your a 2nd Amendment person, make sure to read the last 4 paragraphs
On pp. 138, 139 of DREAMS OF MY FATHER, Obama tells of getting a job in community organizing in Haarlem:
“I needed a job closer to the streets. I spent three months working for a Ralph Nader offshoot up in Haarlem, trying to convince the minority students at City College about the importance of recycling. Then a week passing out flyers for an assemblyman’s race in Brooklyn - the candidate lost and I never did get paid.”
excerpt:
The hunt for Obama’s senior “thesis” began with a throwaway line in a newspaper article last October. The New York Times story, on Obama’s early New York years, mentioned in passing that the presidential contender had majored in political science at Columbia and had spent his time “writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament.”
Journalists began hounding Columbia University for copies of the musty document. Conservative bloggers began wondering if the young Obama had written a no-nukes screed that he might come to regret. And David Bossie, the former congressional investigator and “right-wing hit man,” as one newspaper described him, took out classified newspaper ads in Columbia University’s newspaper and the Chicago Tribune in March searching for the term paper.
Bossie came up dry, but said the effort was well worth it:
“A thesis entitled Soviet Nuclear Disarmament, written at the height of The Cold War in 1983, might shed some light upon what Barack Obama thought about our most pressing foreign policy issue for 40-plus years (U.S.-Soviet Relations),” he wrote in an e-mail to NBC News.

Here is the passage from the New York Times that the above article refers to:
"He barely mentions Columbia, training ground for the elite, where he transferred in his junior year, majoring in political science and international relations and writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament. He dismisses in one sentence his first community organizing job — work he went on to do in Chicago — though a former supervisor remembers him as 'a star performer.'"
Obama’s Account of New York Years Often Differs From What Others Say

"Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983, and moved to Chicago in 1985 to work for a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment. In 1991, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review."
