Excellent find!

We need to do all we can to unmask this guy and YOU are doing just that!

So he was a runner for asbestos plaintiffs’ lawyers?

Some people are born to be “rescuers”, many more are schooled by them as they gravitate torwards one another, in Barack’s case his mother was his first mentor, the liberal professors he admired the second, then his time spent in the neighborhoods where he could never imagine settling combined to propel him on a quest of renewal and spiritual fulfillment.

He stands now on the threshold of immortality.

Now who said this race wasn’t about race?

"Blatant discrimination has been replaced by institutional racism"

Being a "progressive", I think he must be referring to the new, politically correct racism. The racism where he can criticize anyone he wants, but criticism of him is taboo.

Where the accomplishments of blacker people than him, such as Clarence Thomas and Condoleeza Rice don't count because they don't pay homage to Affirmative Action.

Where Oprah can exploit her power and position to favor her pet "Anointed One" and shun those those who don't carry Liberal water, as she's announced most recently she'll do with a REAL emancipated woman, Sarah Palin,without concern of criticism because she's part of the media monopoly held by the "tolerant".

Obama is not only unaccomplished with suspect judgment, he is a run-of-the-mill crooked political hack in the Chicago Democrat tradition.

So he complains about middle class Blacks moving out of their old, blighted neighborhoods...then does exactly that with his move up to Hyde Park.

He also doesn’t seem to have any poor Black street friends from all of his days organizing those communities. Telling.

It is indeed telling.

You should consider posting #20 as its own article.

Or a book. That's some explosive information in its own right apart from the present topic. Excellent post.

Thanks, but I think Michelle Malkin just nailed the same points with much more details and exposure. I don’t have the link, but it’s on NRO I think. She particularly goes after ACORN, the dark force behind numerous, shady community organizations.

PING to post below - I just saw this one from a couple of months ago while searching for something else. This superb post is another reminder of how the stealth candidate Obamessiah represents some of the worst political, social, and economic ideas in American life..... the corrupt, inept, vicious, and dishonest “community organizers” who have helped to prolong and worsen urban blight while contributing little if anything of value.....

I was a municipal attorney in a very large US city. There are, to be sure, some decent people involved in community organizations. The majority are, however, hacks and thugs of the worst sort; they are the very people who, along with AFSCME, are most responsible with the destruction of the inner city and the degradation especially of the urban black community and culture in America. The fact that Obama is the product of such a cesspool by itself disqualifies him, in my mind, for holding any elective office.

Community organizations, along with the community development corporations with which they are tied at the hip, are generally created for the sole purpose of receiving federal funds in the form of Community Development Block Grants or CDBGs; some state and local funds are also involved. These funds are then used primarily to buy up cheap properties and vacant land, ostensibly to develop them as businesses or low-income housing. More often than not, however, the only actual development winds up being a nice new office for the organization itself, a few desks and computers for otherwise-unemployable relatives and friends, and then a nice tidy sum from the taxpayers which will then be used to buy goodies (like nifty shirts with the community organization’s logos, perhaps a mini-van or two, and the occasional trip to Atlantic City for the staff.

Again, I don’t want to paint with too broad a brush as there are a handful of legitimate community groups organizations of the type The One was involved in. But by and large I would say without any hesitation that fully 80-90% of all community organizations of the sort The One was involved in are nothing more than corrupted cash cows often used to hide illegal campaign donations, abuse federal, state and local funds, and to bolster the political aspirations of people like Obama. In other words, 80-90% of these groups in big cities are nothing but the worst sort of scum you would ever imagine could walk the earth.

Because of my experience with people like that (including the few who happened to have oratory skills), I could not and would not vote for one of them to save my life. They are the foot-soldiers of the ultra corrupt local party machines that have destroyed the inner cities and anyone who even suggests that these groups by and large help any of the people they claim to is a horse’s ass.
