McCain/Palin '08
It’s the beancounter in me. :)
Works for me! It certainly clears up a great many mis-conceptions I had about what sort of applicable experience for the Presidency being a welfare-pimp provided. Now I get it - four more years - of KLINTOON...
The only thing worse is that these "jobs" are paid for by Federal taxpayers, and that we have been much to wimpish to do anything about it.
Including Ronald Wilson Reagan.
We are working to build the world we want to live in. In our worldview, the dominant values of competition, greed and exploitation would be replaced with cooperation, autonomy and egalitarianism. We believe that all struggles against oppression and for self-determination are connected, and that it is important to construct viable alternatives while simultaneously fighting for social justice.
dealer’s choice - the race card used to be wild - we’re dealin’ now - it ain’t nuthin’ but a duece.
“Its a bullsh*t job for young lefties looking to make their political mark before they make their coin in the system they allegedly despise. It absolutely deserves to be derided.”
Right on the money. Obama should be asked the following questions:
-The size of the budget he was personally responsible for.
-How many govt employees did he personally supervise.
-What were the five key things he successfully accomplished and quantiify, with statistics how they were deemed to be successful. ie: x number of people that earned GED’s; x percent got jobs, x percent got better housing, x percent got off welfare; the rate of out-of-wedlock births declined by x percent.
Piffle.
He wasn't even pretending to be a social worker. He was a get-out-the-vote-fraud artist. In Chicago, Illinois no less. The Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem of vote-fraud all rolled into one. Please Libs: this is a debate we'd love to keep open.
You Lefties don't seem to understand that a put-down in a major speech isn't some stupid throwaway line: it's bait. Thanks so much for rising to swallow it, hook, like, and especially, sinker. Obama's petulance over this wasn't just the fact that somebody dared to question The One; he knows perfectly well how dangerous a full-fledged exposé of his "community organizer" days is to his carefully forged credentials.
Obama absolutely needs to be beaten on with this.
Palin is noted for wading into a corrupt government and throwing bodies back out and draining the swamp.
Obama *embraced* the Daley Machine. The quintessential most epically corrupt local government in the country, if not the world. They loved him. He even worked for ACORN, which is THE classic example of gutter tactics in election fraud. They don’t even *pretend* to hide it. They’re PROUD of it.
We need to cut him off at the knees and beat him with the stumps. Absolutely.
Commmunity organizer is a person enlisted to make entitlement a real priority in people’s lives.
No about businesses opening, learning new skills, cleaning up neighborhoods...no. More welfare and programs...but racism was the cause, not individual responsibility.
These neighborhoods have been visited by community organizers for years...how are they doing? They are garbage, just like the nations the residents came from. It’s simple, third world roots, third world tendencies.
There are exceptions and clearly those have to be acknowledged, but the vast majority fall in the first category.
I said it, I am not apologizing.
"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

[Obama] is named Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded by Bill Ayers
(article typo has Ayers instead of Obama)
In late 1993, Bill Ayers, now an associate professor of education at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus, organized a team to put together a grant proposal to secure nearly $50 million from the Annenberg Challenge. The money was to be used by Ayers and co. to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed back in 1988 through the ABCs.
The grant application was successful and in early 1995 Barack Obama was named chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers was named co-chair of the Challenges operative and strategic body, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Ayers and Obama work together for the next five years on raising an additional $60 million in matching money from local foundations and corporations and using the money to intervene in the governance of the Chicago public schools.
The Challenge through a multi-million dollar Leadership Development Initiative intervened in the School Council elections in the middle of what was known as the Chicago School Wars. At the same time Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was pushing, successfully, to gut the power of the Councils.

"The Small Schools Workshop was founded in 1991 at the University of Illinois at Chicago to provide support for teachers who were trying to create new smaller learning environments. Its director is Michael Klonsky, a former professor of education at UIC."

Some background on Bill Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky
(Chicago Annenberg Challenge-related)
"One of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrns comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, dropped the pro-Russian communist politics of his parents and became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 [not to be confused with Communist Party USA. CPML no longer exists, CPUSA formed decades earlier and is still around-ETL], he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership.
When the crazy left of the 70s died in the 80s, Klonsky went to graduate school in education in Florida and then moved to Chicago.
While driving a cab there he [Michael Klonsky] was recruited by his old friend Bill Ayers to head up a new project called the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. Its offices were in the Department of Education building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus where Ayers taught.
In 1995 the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge headed by Ayers and Obama gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000.
The Annenberg Challenge also had its office space in the same building as Ayers Department and the Workshop, rent free courtesy of the University.
In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and social justice teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site."
________________________________________________________
In 1977, the October League was reorganized as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) [again, not Communist Party USA (CPUSA) -ETL] and former SDS activist Michael Klonsky became party chairman. Also in 1977, Klonsky traveled to China and the CPML was recognized by the Chinese Communist Party as its official sister party in America.
(snip)
In January 1981, Michael Klonsky resigned as party chairman, and the CPML disbanded that same year.
The previous Red Encyclopedia description of the CPML was incorrectly combined with that of the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).

Bill Ayers TODAY (April 6, 2008), from his own red communist star-headed website, begging to debate communism vs capitalism with Sean Hannity and STILL calling for revolution!
"Imperialism. Im against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolutiona revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good must win.
We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.

"a better world is both possible and necessary"?
Looks to me like Bill Ayers stole (or borrowed) this phrase from Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Both the Weather Underground and RCP have roots in the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organization.

"The following is an excerpt from an historic talk by Chairman Bob Avakian, soon to be available on video and DVD from Three Q Productions-REVOLUTION: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About. This talk, delivered in 2003, followed by questions and answers, is a wide- ranging revolutionary journey, covering many topics."

Much more on the ObamaRat-commie connections at my FR Profile/Home page. Everything there is linked directly to its source. I've now added within-page links and a 'clickable' table of contents which makes it easy to hop around to the various sections:

ANYbody.
They came around to our City of Atlanta NPU looking for crooks to hire, and we sent them off with a flea in their ear.
Even all-volunteer, part time Neighborhood Planning Units know to keep the hell away from ACORN.
If Obama worked for ACORN, that is all I need to know about him.
right I have had enough of Obama . colmes playing victim on this
so why doesn’t the media go to this community and go and film the area
show us how Obama did his change there and that way we can have a template on what he means by change
what are the crime unemployment, drug, etc rates there?
I would like to know how Obama changed this area and what he did while he was there as not one person actually knows what he did
community organiser
please
let the media go there and tell us how everyone is doing great under his community organizing
no honestly lets see what the area looks like
Community organizing is like a machine that milks the govt cow more efficiently than you can do it by hand.
Another great analysis is from American Thinker at
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/putting_lipstick_on_the_commun.html
Well worth reading.
Take it from an ex-cop in a big city: “Community organizer” = s**t disturber. Stir up people while getting paid. Or did he get that Hyde Park mansion by eating beans?
Ah Ha! You nailed it, O was a bagman for Dems.
Palin is noted for wading into a corrupt government and throwing bodies back out and draining the swamp.
