Shocker! Obama’s Years As A Community Organizer Produced More Talk Than Action When pressed on his lack of experience, Obama often cites his years as a ‘community organizer’ as part of his resume (such as it is). Like most other things about Obama the press has taken that at face value. No one seems to have bothered to follow up and see what it actually means and what, if anything, he accomplished in that oddly titled job. Well, Byron York at National Review took a look and believe it or not, it doesn’t seem Obama accomplished much at all. His greatest hits seem to have been a successful effort to convince the city of Chicago to locate a jobs placement office on the far South Side and his part in a drive to push the city to clean asbestos out of a housing project in the same area. … Obama, not long out of college, didn't have much experience to qualify him to be an organizer. But he was black — a threshold qualification for this particular job — and he seemed able almost to work magic on those he encountered. "He didn't have experience," Augustine-Herron told me, "but he had a sensitivity that allowed us to believe that he could do that job." Gee, this all sounds vaguely familiar. It’s one thing to take a chance on a smooth talking but inexperienced young guy to be a community organizer, it’s quite another to elect someone President with a resume as thin as Obama’s.

What exactly did Obama do for the poor that was so out of the ordinary Kenneth? What did he do to make them less reliant on gov't hand outs and make them more self-sufficient.?

Grassroots reaction to BO's latest proclamation: >The Obamasnob strikes again! by John1776, 7/9/08 I agree that children should learn more than one language, but I wouldn't use the condescending words used by Barack Obama: "It's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe and all we can say is 'Merci beaucoup.'" Translation: "All you rubes, vote for me and I'll make you more European so I can be less embarassed by you and this country." The Messiah has spoken.<
