Obama Turns Out To Be, After All, Merely a Community Organizer By R. EMMETT TYRRELL JR., Contributing Editor of the Sun | August 18, 2010 http://www.nysun.com/opinion/obama-turns-out-to-be-after-all-merely/87046/

WASHINGTON — It is becoming apparent for all to see, that a man who made his name as a community organizer does not have the skills to be President of these United States. Maybe he could develop the requisite skills as a governor. Possibly, he could develop such skills were he to sit in the Senate for a couple of terms.

It has been continuously overlooked but the AnnointedIdiot’s mention of “above my paygrade” was more prophetic than many have acknowledged and its expression had implications and went far beyond just being a response to ‘a’ question asked him......bet.

Yes, we have. And now we can say “I told you so” but it’s bittersweat. I hope they realize the damage they’ve done. I won’t let them forget.

But he's a really good community organizer. Just look at that picture! I've never seen anything like it -- and Obama deserves all the credit!

Remember Sarah's comment, "A governor is just like a community organizer except...with real responsibility." Go get 'em Sarah!

I think the phrase is “ouch”. That is one withering decimation of Obama as i’ve ever seen and completely accurate.

The Black and Muslim communities specifically. International illegals more than Latinos...........like himself, for instance.

You forgot attribution (this was written by J. Emmett Tyrrell, of the American Spectator).

But what an article! I would love to see Tyrrell present these thoughts on any MSM program, and see if the opposition could debate him. Everything he said was so true!!!!!

Tyrrell is right - MAYBE 0 could have learned the requisite skills had he stayed in the Senate or if he had presided as governor somewhere first, but he is certainly in over his head as POTUS.

Too many are under the impression that he wants America to succeed and he is failing at it... when the truth is that he wants America to fail and he is succeeding at it.

Many people admit they cast their vote for Barack Obama for the same reason I suspect some in SC cast their vote for Alvin Greene. BECAUSE HE IS BLACK.

The same people could not vote in Ohio for Ken Blackwell, he was the wrong kind of black.

Nothing new here. The Kenyan Muslim socialist dung sweeper is what he always was.

Laughable! Two enlistments in the Marine Corps is much more useful than 2 terms in the Senate!

You’re supposed to be a leader WHEN YOU GET TO THE SENATE!

He could have used some experience as governor- it is like being a ‘community organizer’ except with ACTUAL responsibilities.

Now where have I heard that....
