The Obamas and their “Public Allies”
Investor’s Business Daily investigates Barack and Michelle Obama’s cozy relationship with the radical “Public Allies.”
The piece dovetails well with my “community organizer” column today and the recent piece I did on Obama’s government proposal for subsidizing “social entrepreneurship” and the Democrat Party’s hidden Soros slush fund — as well as all the terrific work Stanley Kurtz has done on Annenberg/Ayers.
The more you get to know about the far left-wing friends of Barack Obama, the tighter you need to hold onto your wallet.

Obama is Tammany Hall.
Public Allies? I almost read it as Barack, Barack, uber alles.
On a related note, from this article, I learn that the new mayor of Detroit has five children. And, oddly enough, no one is suggesting his official duties will interfere with his raising of them.
(Note: Kenneth Cockrel will take the place of confessed felon Kwame Kilpatrick, whom Barack Obama described as an “outstandng” mayor).
The fruit on the Obamas’ tree is bad fruit.
And the more you look, the more bad fruit you find:
Antonin Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Kwame Kilpatrick, Kwame Raoul, etc., etc., etc.
He’s going to force them to volunteer?
I am always interested in what you put on the web about O and his friends. However, I wonder about its value when the MSM doesn’t print or report on it. Information kept to a few (conservative blog readers) is valueless when you are trying to inform the many. How can the information be put out?
The more I learn about Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the less I like him.
A MUST READ ON OBAMA (as heard on the G. Gordon Liddy show on the morning of 9/5/2008):
http://www.usasurvival.org/marshall.fbi.files.html
Although you might normally have absolutely no interest in the past nefarious dealings of Frank Marshall Davis (an active member of the Communist Party USA), detailed in the released FBI files linked above, once you understand his link to Obama the information contained therein becomes much more pertinent.
As Obama’s biological father abandoned his family when Barack was just 2, FMD raised Obama, with the help of his grandparents, from about the age of 9 until he left for college at the about age of 18.
The information is REAL. Even if you don’t read everything (and I wouldn’t expect that you would), I urge you to learn what you can from these reports. The country is at stake.
Well Obama doesn’t care about Matthew 7:15. He cares about ‘what you do for the least of his brothers’.
So there
Does anybody know where Ayers is? Just saying….
Knowing what we already know about Obama, I definitely don’t like him.
It is kind of like finding further evidence that Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist. It isn’t good for Osama’s case and yes, we know he is a terrorist.
In California, the unions are trying to force a law that requires volunteer organizations that do work that is comparable to work done by unionized businesses to pay their volunteers. Kind of dulls the point of selflessness, doesn’t it? Is it service if you have no choice?
And we’re going to pay for it.
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/service/
Did he get the idea for this from his good friend Fidel Castro?
Yeah. It’s like those voluntary charitable contributions the Democrats want us to make.
Why do we have to find this out from someone else? Isn’t Obama proud of all this? Doesn’t he continuously brag about his ‘community organizer’ past?
Barak, you are a coward.
That “community organizing” gig sure has reaped some awesome results.
More commonly know as the Obama Youth.
LC,
There is no question in my mind that BHO is the Communist Party’s nominee for President of the United States.
From everything I see, I believe that just as Dmitry Medvedev is Vladimir Putin’s puppet in charge of the Russian government, Barack Hussein Obama would be Vladimir Putin’s puppet in charge of the United States Presidency.
If that weren’t bad enough, there are some serious questions to be answered about these TRUTHs.
Thankfully, people are starting to “connect the dots”.
I agree with all sentiments here. That being said, why are there so many people still working to get him elected and why are there so many people who are going to vote for him? Do people not care?
I need someone who can explain this to me. lgm? Chap?
Even if Obama, who strikes me as a weak, confused man was no longer interested in the agenda of “Public Allies” and related groups, it is clear he has no control over the Left who will use him up completely and shove him aside when they are done. They smell blood in this election, a perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity to dismantle and destroy this country — which is why there will be hell to pay no matter who wins in November.
Anyone think establishment Republicans are up to dealing with this? Me neither.
Because he was a community organizer. BTW, he needs $5…from everyone.
Sounds like how my deployed to bosnia was Voluntary.
You’re jumping to the conclusion that the guy in the hut is the least of his brothers.
#18 Surveyor
I’m stunned at all that Chicago gun violence, what with their tough anti-gun laws, and all.
I ain’t skeered of liberal threats. The last 8 years didn’t kill us, why woud indignation about losing this November be any worse?
Will they have cute little uniforms? Or just nice armbands. Maybe one with the obama symbol in the center? You know, just so we can tell who they are when they come to “help” and “educate” us.
LOL. right once again.
Is that his fore-finger in this pic or is he just flipping everyone off?
Daily.
What is so disheartening is he’s given a pass by the media and the entire left just becasue he carries the label Democrat. That is how free societies lose their freedom.
The day we put our trust in any person, left or right, instead of an ideal like our Constitution, we are on a slippery slope.
We will know them by their salute.
Thanks Michelle, please keep digging up stuff on bho and mo. We need to know these things. I sure am happy I have enough intellegence to not vote for this man.
L
I’ve long suspected that Senator Hopenchange is a weak-willed and malleable person, and that the individual who has shaped him the most has been his wife.
And not for the better.
Some excerpts from an article in the Asia Times states it well:
A Princeton education, married to an up-and-coming politico, a six-figure job, and still the gigantic chip on the shoulder. Michelle Obama may have learned many things in her life, but clearly gratitude and a sense of perspective were not among those things.
If obama loses, the hissy fit will be historic. This will be a weak example of them.
LOL Sunofdy, Sheriff Joe puts his Universal Voluntary Public servants in pink underwear and in chain gangs.
I say bring it!!
We are followers of the great zero….
Sounds more like Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution, circa 1966.
Obamas gay supporters would approve
I know, bad sonofdy, no homopobia. No donut for you.
What happens if you don’t volunteer?
#7 Bob69 – That’s why we tell our friends, and they tell their friends, etc. Don’t underestimate the power of the blogs, especially this one. All you have to do is remember the outcry during amnesty last year and how we overloaded the Capitol’s switchboard.
People will wonder why you change you mind after a few months in the hopenchange education center.
Well, maybe you’re right and we can all get up and dance. But from my perspective the evidence regarding the future of this country post-November points to this conclusion: be concerned, be very concerned. That being said, the presentation of contrary evidence is always appreciated. People can then read it and discuss and decide for themselves.
more examples of future liberal freakouts if obama loses.

At my bloggie, I highlight the suspect associations and alliances of one Barack Obama former Chicago Community Organizer, specifically.
Unlike Michelle or Seedubya here, I don’t mention any of Zerobama’s close, associanational names though. (i run a clean operation…)
But the photos of the results of the Chicago Community Organizer should be seen~!

Both the candidate and the majority of the MSM aren’t “Zell Miller” Democrats…they are Democratic Socialist Communists.
They give him a pass because he is furthering their agenda.
“Zell Miller” Democrats will tell the truth about Obama and will vote McCain/Palin.
That is why I have been spending so many hours blogging over the last 7 months. We must get the truth out so that we do not lose our freedom.
Enforce our Constitution.
This man must not become the next POTUS. Any fallout from that is way more acceptable than the alternative.
Well just as long as the fruit comes from your tree or the funds out of your pocket whether you want it taken or not. I’m tired of the liberal attitude look what I can do with your money.
One of the big differences between Republicans and Democrats: Republicans think volunteering for your community or nation is a good thing; Democrats think that requring you to volunteer for your community or nation is a good thing.

Kudos!!! Keep up the fight.
I wholeheartedly concur! Another point to ponder…which party is making serious threats of wanton violence if their candidate loses?
localmalcontent
I keep posting that link all over the place. It needs more play. I thought our dear host might have linked it by now. Anyway thanks for the pics.
Shhhhhh!
You people can’t be talking about these things. It’s mean. It has nothing to do with the current issssssssues.
And it distracts us from Sara’s hairstyle, her hubby when he was 20 something, getting a DUI, and that issue that always bothers Democrats, teens having sex!
It’s just sad that you people want to focus on Barry, I mean Barrach hanging with communists, terrorists, and American haters.
Oh, and did I mention how much Cindy McCain’s outfit cost?
Janie’s got a gun!
Hey, my husband is half black, I wonder if half of him will riot when O loses? just asking……..
He might try to hurt himself.
No, cause his white side will reason him through…..
I’ve noticed a higher percentage of young women at the range lately.
Seriously.

The difference this time is that the Federal Reserve has taken on broad new power to control our economy, and they are starting to pull the levers…
In 1976, Milton Friedman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences “for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy”.
Friedman showed how speculative practices, encouraged by the Federal Reserve, led to the Great Depression.
Some of the most Socialist things in our Government
(like Social[ist In]Security)
came as a result of the Great Depression.
The Socialists want to do the time warp again.
There are tough times ahead no matter who is the next President, but the next President will determine whether or not our nation survives as a Constitutional Republic or becomes a Communist “People’s Republic”.
Does anyone have ANY names of people who actually were helped by the ONE’s organizing skillz? Where are the slums he cleaned up, or the people he got jobs or training?
Crickets…….

You’d be surprised how many people are still computer illiterate.
Also some people besides us still have a life and don’t blog or know where to blog at.
plus you still see “My parent’s were Democrat’s and that’s all I’ve ever voted” alot
Don’t wait for :
igm: who’s busy defending himself for having sex with students
or:
chap:He’s busy trying to keep from being disbarred for stealing clients money.
to respond to your question.
I guess this sums it all up nicely:
The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. – H.L. Mencken
This is what “hopenchange” is all about and it is not new.
These people are a real danger to the Republic. They need to be doing hard time in a Federal slammer.

I’ve never shot anything more than a BB gun, but my wife has a different story…years ago she had to drive home from work in downtown LA through the Rodney King riots.
The next day she submitted the paperwork for a gun permit, and when approved she bought a Ruger and had an off-duty FBI agent train her how to shoot. She is an excellent shot (every bullet hole in the center of either the head or the heart of the paper target) and she has hollow-point ammo.
I take a different approach.
Together, we make a great team.
People… this is some scary stuff. Is it not clear where this is at and were it’s going?
This is a training ground for insurrection. Some people may look at this and say “How nice.. it’s like the Peace Corps”.
This is nothing like the Peace Corp. This is a re-education camp. You think the propaganda liberal teachers put in kids heads in public schools is bad today? This… it 10 times more insidious.
Frankly, after reading this, I’m not sure who is more dangerous to America… Bin Laden or Obama.
sonofdy…I’ve got a box of Southern Maid donuts all packed to UPS to you…but you have to post the picture of you in the pinks.
[hysterical coughing fit]
Tony Rezko comes to mind.
The biggest question of the year is, “What are you gonna do if he becomes the next POTUS?
By their cute little brown shirts and armbands, for sure. We’ve had leftist candidates for President before, but this guy is a candidate for dictator. I don’t see him giving up power once he has it, any more than Putin. And I don’t see much future for secret ballots, once he has his little SA Corps to monitor everybody. On the other hand, I still think this stupid empty suit is just figurehead for Soros and others of the extreme left, but we won’t know who is pulling his strings until they are done with him.
Hire a helluva accountant and hide every dime that I can.
From one of Obama’s speeches -
idiotc Quote of the Century:
‘My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.’
– Barack Obama
This gives me great comfort to know what he is planning.
Make sure conservatives win local and state elections.
What did you think we would do…riot?
Sorry, that’s not how conservatives roll.

Seriously. It is quite a shame when we have entire cities that are more deadly than a battlefield, yet law-abiding citizens are the ones who, by law, are being kept from defending themselves properly. Just idiotic, crazy, bizarro-world type stuff.
have any of you ridden the chicago metro train from ohare to downtown? as you cross into chicago from the burbs, several community activists jump up and walk the aisle with a bucket for you to volunteer your money into. but it’s voluntary!!!
NOT. WORTH. IT.
Or maybe become a Community Organizer. Organize a community of like-minded rednecked, bible-thumping, gun-toting bitter Texans who remember what Jefferson said about fertilizing the Tree of Liberty.
Begin looking for reasons to impeach him.
A very last resort, but if it comes to that, its better if they do the watering.
That’s why Hitler had an SS.
There is already enough evidence to
remove him from his present office
and
ensure that he never holds office again.
All we have to do is Enforce Our Constitution
Every dictatorship has had its equivilant. Thats why reading and teaching history is so important.
I’m not sure I know what “heterosexism” is, but if it means boys and girls like each other, then capitalism has been around for a long time and ain’t goin’ nowhere.
If we ever needed proof that Michelle and Barack O. had absorbed every last sermon our friend Jeremiah Wright spewed forth, this is it. Looks to me like Public Allies is just the O’s putting the Black Liberation theories into action.
How you gonna remove him from office, when he has the Obama Youth watching your every move…the LIbs will have control of everything. We will all probably be rounded up anyways and be found in some mass grave by the side of the road.
You try to impeach him before that happens. If it gets to that point, bullets will already be flying. The idea is to prevent the bullets from flying if we can. Believe me, if the danger obama presents were so clear, I wouldn’t be all that excited about this election.
So, you would go to a full blown riot on 05NOV just because? Pull your head out of your ass, please.
Don’t lecture me about defense of this country, either. You have absolutely no idea who you are talking to.
It takes time to do this. So plan for the worst and hope for the best. The best result is still peacefull removal of Obama from office. The hit squads can’t be mobilized that quickly.
Don’t you think they have contingency plans for impeachment? They aren’t stupid. If they reach the presidency, don’t you think they are gonna hold on to it the best way they can?
Pretty much. Charlie Rangle proposed Mandatory Voluntary Public Service along with Selective Service-the draft.
Barack Obama’s Plan for Universal Voluntary Public Service
Mandatory public service would benefit country’s college students …
Time/CNN White Guilt Public Service
And that Heroic Ship jumper and civil libertarian Bill Richardson (youtube)
All the plans, and there are others to be sure, work on one premise: We are not free individuals but subjects of the State who have only those rights and privileges the State gives us. Some of the plans call for mandatory/universal public service before you could go to college or enter certain jobs.
The central question, at least for me, is would President and Grand Sherif Obama hand out copies of his Little Red Book or the Koran? Detail, always details.
Makes you appreciate the Founders wisdom in passing the Second Amendment, doesn’t it?
It took hitlers bully boys years to cower the entire german population. Americans are not as monolithic as the germans. Believe me, there will be plenty of warning. Sorry to say it but people like michelle malkin would be the canaries. They would be the first to be forced to convert or disapear. I expect him to actualy tax guns and ammo out of existance instead of actualy banning them. Those are some of your warning signs.
I live in the great state of Illinois (don’t take pity on me, please)! Just this week, we have been told alot of our state parks are going to be closed down, however, Gov. Rod Blagojevich will still be commuting back and forth via jet to Chicago from Springfield. This is the same Chicago “The One” is from…to sum it up with have “Chicago” and then we have the “rest of Illinois”! I can’t believe the “rest of Illinois” can’t vote the Chicago Political thugs out of office. “The One” is part of “The Machine” up there, are we expected to believe he will change when he is in the White House? Maybe that is the “change” we can believe it??? I’m just saying…….!
I am sure they are, stop panicing and start thinking. GGGEEZZZ. If we started a civil war to remove Obama on day one, not even I would support it, let alone the brainwashed masses.
Yes i figure it will take time for anything to happen to come to light.
Name calling is an offensive stance Pboilermaker and I don’t like it. Its not your opinion anyways. And who you put you in charge to defy other peoples opinions. Do you work for Obama?
How about you take that paranoid energy and get as many people as you can to vote McCain/Palin. Make sure you vote, too, if you are actually of voting age.
If McCain/Palin still lose, at least you can have your own riot on 05NOV knowing you at least made an effort to do something right.
