I went to 3 different colleges to get my BA. What’s your point?

Jesus wasn’t a “community organizer“

He is a CEO.

what is with Obama kissing O’Biden’s wife every time they are on stage?

You know what is really funny about that? I noticed it during the DNC. Watch both Biden’s and MichelleO’s faces when he does it. The look of shock and revulsion on Biden’s the first night about had me in tears.

This does nothing for her children.

30 – I’m still at a loss to know what a community organizer does. Have you yet learned?

I haven’t quite figured it out either, but I do know one thing: Jesus wasn’t a community organizer. Those (i.e. the Obamanites) who’ve been claiming that he was need to go back and read the Bible – or just read it, period.

And that’s not sarcasm; it’s simple truth.

Judis offers the closest thing we’ve heard to a job description for “community organizers.” What they do, he writes, is “unite people of different backgrounds around common goals and use their collective strength to wring concessions from the powers that be.” To help illuminate this rather vague description, Judis also enumerates some of the tasks Obama and his colleagues undertook.

Before Obama’s arrival in Chicago, Kellman and his “partner,” Mike Kruglik, set out “to revive the region’s manufacturing base–and preserve what remained of its steel industry–by working with unions and church groups to pressure companies and the city; but those hopes were quickly dashed.” Apparently the presence of “community organizers” is not a strong selling point for companies making location decisions. Go figure.

Obama set his sights lower, but still missed the mark. He “got community members to demand a job center that would provide job referrals, but there were few jobs to distribute.” Then “he tried to create what he called a ’second-level consumer economy’ . . . consisting of shops, restaurants, and theaters. This, too, went nowhere.”

These efforts at economic development having failed, Obama “began to focus on providing social services for Altgeld Gardens,” a government-owned and -operated apartment complex:

It is both funny and scary that one of America’s major political parties would offer this record of sheer futility as its nominee’s chief qualification to be president of the United States. Even more striking, though, is how alien the world in which Obama operated was by comparison with the world in which normal Americans live.

Reader, when your toilet breaks, do you wait around for some Ivy League hotshot to show up and organize a meeting so that you can use your collective strength to wring concessions from the powers that be?

Or do you call a plumber?

As a “community organizer,” Obama toiled within a subculture of such abject dependency that even home repairs were “social services,” provided by government (or, in Obama’s Chicago, not provided). It was an utterly bizarre intersection between the cultural elite and the underclass. By Judis’s account, Obama’s Columbia degree was useless. He would have been more helpful if he’d gone to vocational school instead.
