U.S. President- The ultimate Community Organizer?
Sara has had a problem finding out about "Community Organizers"..She realized that Sen.Obama's main qualification was his occupation as a "community organizer." She ASKED, but so far has only received evidence that such an occupation apparently exists. After Colin Powell embraced Sen. Obama, she looked again. What does this job entail that makes a man eligible to be president of the United States. His other experience of 153 days as a U.S.Senator is shared by thousands of men and women over the years and has never been considered a criteria to make someone a presidential candidate. A few years as a state politician has never assured candidacy to the thousands who share that experience all over the country. Can authoring 2 autobiographies as a young man, illustrate readiness for this important job? No..it has to be the Community organizer gig that makes this candidacy possible..but what is it? Help?
HANNA THE WISE: We know that Sen, Obama gave up a possible lucrative job in Business to take this employment..does the word "community" give a clue? Was this a volunteer position with the "Communuity Chest", or Headstart, or Suicide hotline, or ? Who was the employer? Was there a salary? Who paid it? Was the City of Chicago the hiring agency ?.Was this ,then, a Civil service job? How does one apply for such an important posiition? Where is it advertized?
LYNN THE DEVIOUS: Who pays a Harvard graduate with a "degree in constitutional law" to do Community outreach? And why? Who decided that this position was the stepping stone to the presidency? Who filled out the job application? Who were the personal references? What were the posted qualifications? Was this job ripped away from a lesser candidate, who may have needed this employment? How many other Harvard graduates were filling positions as" Community organizers?"
JERRY THE MATHEMATICIAN: There was a suggestion by Obama , himself, that he liasoned unemployed "workers" toward possible job benefits . Could this have been a Union-sponsered position?..Was it an altruistic, completely charitable adventure paid for by actors for the "common good" in Hollywood? Or some Private foundation? If so, why isn't this information available?
MELINDA THE SIMPLE: The rumour that ACORN was his employer is a rumour!?? ACORN...a voter registration organization, that has had huge support from Fannie Mae, labor unions, etc.. helps people get benefits.. in return for votes.Very active in Chicago, during Obama's year there. Lately, it was up for big dollars in the recent Fannie-Freddie bailout. (Also involved in lots of lawsuits over fraudulent registrations for many years) hmmm. It helps the "poor!" as Obama did..and also has big=time Democrat Political connections.
PORTIA THE PHD: (she was in school with hillary) oh.. Fannie-Freddie bailout? Wasn't that, like-- Reparations?
Sara still doesn't know how she can get HER kids into "community organizing", how can HER child become president?
