Wow. You are incredibly biased. First, a community organizer helps people, but doesn't necessarily transform or restore lost industries. It's a matter of the platform. If I personally want to increase jobs in Harlem, I can do so by opening up a business there and hiring some residents. I might be able to do more with some additional creativity, luck, and elbow grease. But my impact will be minimal in the grand scheme of things. However, if I was a President or US Congressman, my reach and power would be longer and broader. I'd be able to summon massive funds and resources to throw at the problem. I could indeed transform industries. So your complaint is stupid. Second, you say being President of Harvard Law review is no big deal because hundreds do it every year? Shows how ignorant you are. Law review students are the best of the best. There is only one President in any given year, not hundreds. President of Harvard's Law Review is a distinction only held by only a few people. Read more on it before you demonstrate your ignorance for all to see: en.wikipedia.org Third, Obama's campaign has experienced almost no turnover and is still a very tight ship. His campaign has raised more money than any Presidential campaign in history. He has won twice as many states as Hillary, has 800K more popular votes, and has a 150 total delegate lead. By all measures, Obama's campaign was executed as a well-oiled machine. There is no doubt among insiders who the nominee will be. Only the media perpetuates the race, because it gets them alot of paid advertising. So those are the three accomplishments you chose to talk about. My rebuttal proves that you are simply a myopic, closed-minded neo-con. Again, good luck with that. You must be one of those old bitter apples clinging to your guns and religion and your $15K health insurance.
