And who the hell is Saul Alinsky and what does he have to do with Obama?

You're not that dumb Z.

Before it disappears, a small part:

en.wikipedia.org

Alinsky's teachings influenced Barack Obama in his early career as a community organizer on the far South Side of Chicago.[7][8] Working for Gerald Kellman's Developing Communities Project, Obama learned and taught Alinsky's methods for community organizing.[7] Several prominent national leaders have been influenced by Alinsky's teachings,[7] including Ed Chambers,[5] Tom Gaudette, Michael Gecan, Wade Rathke,[9][10] Patrick Crowley,[11] and Barack Obama.[12]

Better yet, read Alinsky's book. Doesn't take long, it's only a couple of hundred pages. Amazon has the paperback for $11. It will either resonate with your line of thinking or it will help you understand Obama and some of the posts you see here from time to time.
