#3 Yes R-Burgers and others did. However, I think there are many people who go to work everyday, try to raise their families, go to church, go to ball game with their kids, etc. that really didn't have the time to delve into Obama's background. The media certainly wasn't forthcoming. I think there are some Independents and some Democrats who would not support Obama and what he and his administration stands for if they were aware of him and the people surrounding him. They are not nice well-intentioned people.

For example, in Chapter 3, the following excerpt describes Obama's and the people around him Marxist notions:

. It encompassed a cradle-to-grave vision of providing for the material needs of the low-income families residing in the new housing, including their schools, child care, job training, medical coverage, clothing and food.

In turn, the residents would campaign and vote for the officials advocating the partnerships, adding significantly to their political power.

Left unstated was the underlying reality that politically connected developers who built the housing would profit handsomely and could be expected to gratefully give millions of dollars in campaign contributions to politicians like Obama who made it all possible.

Chicago thus became the proving ground for Obama's vision, which, according to LISC spokesman Joel Bookman, "really changed the direction of community development in Chicago and ultimately nationally."

It was an irresistible combination of money, politics and idealism that also offered endless opportunities for greed and tragic abuse of the poor.


I suspect many who are not Rantburgers would not vote for Obama if they read this Examiner story! This bunch was exploiting the poor for political power and money. All the BS about Moochelle and Barack being poor and driving an old car with rusted out floorboards was so much cow-pucky. Him being a man of the people who lived in the community was a perpetrated myth; Obama lived in luxury up in Hyde Park and commuted to the little people's neighborhood.

#4 Its why the title community organizer was never defined by the media. To say the job is to secure a bloc of votes and in turn sell that bloc as a commodity does not really ring up as considered classic American vocation.
