Did anyone notice how the "community organizer"
left behind a very "disorganized community"--------Chicago---at the "end" of his tenure?

Do you care to back up your assertions with facts? You know, the way adults debate?

the speech was in general very skosh on facts,
i work with a Navy officer whose job it is to promote diversity in the Navy officer corps and he works with the school district of Chicago alot. He worked with Barack Obama, actually lives near him, and although he is a Republican, he has discussed with us how Barack Obama is in the neighborhoods when he is home, even today, checking on programs he worked on, making sure kids are getting the services they need, etc. Just because he did not have the vaunted title of Mayor, eegads, does not mean he did not have a great impact on south side chicago. |

He quit as an orgranizer because he couldn't affect "change".
The Annenberg Challenge was an utter failure - his only executive experience. We understand why he doesn't mention it.

Why would anyone need facts? Someone on your side that Palin was a crystal meth user...which resulted in her having a downs syndrome baby.
We don't need no stinkin' facts. |

Yet again...
The topic is...
Did anyone notice how the "community organizer" and if I read correctly this topic is about Obama's failure to organize his community. Lets try to stick to this shall we.
