I realize Obama's job as a 'community organizer" is his qualification to being the President.

What does a "community organizer" do? Was Malcolm X a community organizer?

Why do people like you always conveniently ignore the fact that Obama was also a Senator?

For what, six months?

I am glad that we have lowered the expectation bar so dramatically for president, as Obama has established a new low.

What does a community organizer do? Raise hell.

Yes, and so was Martin Luther King.

In a nutshell .... a community organizer is usually a communist.

Saul Alinsky

Several prominent American leaders have been influenced by Alinsky's teachings ... Biographer Sanford Horwitt has claimed that U.S. President Barack Obama was influenced by Alinsky and followed in his footsteps as a Chicago-based community organizer. Horwitt furthermore has asserted that Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign was influenced by Alinsky's teachings.

For Clinton and Obama, a Common Ideological Touchstone

One of the talk show hosts I listen to refers to them as 'community agitators'.

A person who actually works with PEOPLE and not fat cat lobbyists and Wall Street thieves, like Republicans know all too well.
Next time, google it for your answer.
