Not a dirty phrase. A joke.


I guess that's true, except that's exactly what McCain called for in his
speech of speeches. He's a war hero; therefore, he must be right!


I wonder if Obama had people reporting rattlesnakes, jaywalkers, noisy
neighbors and speeders to him as "community organizer".

The best thing about "community organizers" is that they are not elected,
they simply appoint themselves!

Even better, they set the agenda. No one would expect to see a "community
organizer" working against their own self interest would they?


I am amazed nobody seems to know what Obama's community organizer job
involved.

Well, I did some research and talked to my sister who lives in Chicago.
Community organizing Obama-style involved being a go-between with those who
wanted to work on one side and the union bosses and various and sundry
politicians on the other. Obama "sold" favors. The favors he sold were
letters from the union bosses that when secured (bought) by a worker
guaranteed him a job. Those with letters got jobs almost immediately while
those without letters stood in lines that sometimes wound around a city
block with only a handful of them managing to get a job.

So, in other words, Obama was a runner of sorts for the Chicago Democrat
political machine/union bosses.

These are the facts.
