In these times of dire economic trouble, we're all watching President Barack Obama. Six hundred thousand jobs disappeared last month alone. Decisive action is needed — but this president does not act alone. He made that clear in his campaign. Obama is a community organizer, and we're his community; we have our part to play.
How does an ordinary citizen affect anything as massive as an economic meltdown? Last Sunday, 10 of us met in the College Park home of John Allen in response to a request from our president. All across the country, people were congregating at economic recovery house meetings.
Most of us in that living room had never participated in politics before the Obama campaign. Yet there we were, spending a cozy Sunday afternoon sitting in a crowded living room watching Obama present his plan via online video. Next, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine answered questions. As the videos ended, we turned to one another. Now what?
When we donated to the campaign or worked the phone banks, we were told the real work would begin when the election was over. Here we were. We could call senators and make our voices heard. Then what? Obama hadn't asked us specifically to do anything, but we suspected that by gathering us together, he knew we'd think of something.
The recession is still mostly invisible in the middle-class world of Silicon Valley, but it's there when you look. Four of us were looking for work, two recently unemployed, two others trying to re-enter the work force after an absence. Kathy Stanley, recently unemployed and part of that alarming statistic quoted above, talked about recently joining a job-seeking club.

But!But! I thought the black wonder was going to solve all our problems with just a wave of his hand.My God its turning into a Quagmire.
Someone should start a pool in Las Vegas for the date when construction statrts on this. I’d guess 13 years.
We're funding a high speed train to Vegas while 0bama is threatening businesses for organizing trips to Vegas. My only reaction is that I know the government can get stupider, but I sit in dread of seeing how they manage it.
I wonder if they had candles and incense. Did they sing little songs and hold hands?
Good plan. I'll get right on it. Let's meet at the range.
FAIL
My bad, we all have to do our part.
P.S. Still waiting on that promised commemorative bong with his picture and my checks... when will that come? And what's up with ham being haram now, so we have to get turkey on our heros? Later for ACORN, a brother loves his bacon, ham and sausage; He said the days of Corn Flakes and Mac and cheese were over, then gives us Ramen noodles. I've been bamboozled. /s
obozo seems to be running on a full tank with all the excellent credentials of his staff thus far. He doesn’t need our help.
Step One: Change your witholding on your W-2 form so that you get as little as possible withheld. (Claim more Dependents)
Step Two: Take the extra cash per pay period and put it in a savings/money market account in a local bank. (Then at tax time if you owe some back you have made interest on your money instead of giving Obama an interest free loan to expand the government with)
Step Three: Turn one or more of your hobbies into a legal side business and use it to increase your tax deductions (Talk to your accountant on all the particulars)
Bottm Line: Send less money to and get more back from the IRS. STARVE THE BEAST!
Bingo. We’re still going through the pdfs... not good.
Not only what was slipped back in, but what was dropped.
I have to talk to Cboldt and others on what can be done (if anything), to get rid of this now... it has to be something (even on vacation and already voted on), before it’s signed Tuesday.
We need a Sandy Burger.
Daily trips on Air Force One & cocktail parties every Wednesday at the White House.
These bastards didn't even have the courtesy to post this bill on the internet for 48 hours before voting as they had promised. For a Party that has that much contempt for the American public, it is laughable that they would ask for our help.
I'll make a deal with you, Mr. President. If you waive my taxes for the next four years, I will hire an unemployed worker. Deal?
The what? The "magic of the human spirit rises to the surface?"
GAG!
Yeah but not to worry, he's got Pelosie and Barney Frank to help him. Plus he's got those three RINO's, Larry, Snowe and Curly to help him too.
(Obama is a community organizer, and we’re his community; )
Sorry, I am not a member of Obamas community. I am not a Socialist. I am an American. I do not need a organizer in the Whitehouse, I want and need a leader. To bad America did not vote for one....
Apparently she is the San Jose organizer for "Seth heads" where they get together and talk about dreams in a group based on knowledge garnered from a Ouija board... Those five little words were the first pronouncement from the entity who announced his presence to Jane Roberts and her husband, Robert Butts, by way of a Ouija board, and who is now known to millions simply as "Seth."[2] Seth was not really his name, he noted. Entities at his level of reality had no names. But we could call him that. The name captured, he said, "the me of me."
