Barack doesn’t represent community organizers and the author’s hysteria is misplaced as a result.

I think this is weak argument to make when MOST Americans never have been engaged in community organizing whether successful or unsuccessful. Clearly many more American have served in the military killing other human beings than they have serving a poor community or any other community even their own. Most folks go to work and come home to do it all over again the next day.

There are clearly other aspects of Obama’s record that are ripe for criticism but to belittle his work as a community organizer however effective or “ineffective” he was while an organizer is not one of them.

In the end it actually weakens your argument.

The article starts off from the mistaken belief that Barack was a “community organizer” when the reality is he sampled it, didn’t like it, admits he was ineffective and high tailed it to Harvard and all the big money that would follow.

Calling Barack (or allowing him to call himself) a “community organizer” is the insult.

I try to avoid any intervention in the faux political games between these two war parities.

Remember Bill Clinton? The Repubs would say something audacious like he’s poisoning his mother and the “sensible” liberals would be all over the place to his defense. This went on through the Monica fornication, upside down kangeroo trial aka impeachment…Meanwhile while the “sensible” liberals rallied to Bill…Bill was bombing the hell out of multiple sovereign nations and the civilians and children who lived there.

In other words, who cares what these two imperialist war parties say about EACH OTHER? Together they’re killing us!!!

Btw, community organizing can be a lot of things, but it really doesn’t need Obama (with his very light on results, and fairly meager community organizing resume) to defend it.
