#1 As a community organizer he wasn't the cause of the problems these people were writing about, he could find the source and agitate. He still thinks blaming things on others will fix things he's responsible for.

#4 A naive socialist dreamer, co-opted by Harry and Nancy?

No, a dedicated communist, raised from birth to be a revolutionary. If anything, Harry and Nancy have been co-opted by him.

#5 The militia at Lexington and Concord and the over mountain men at King's Mountain had also been raised to be revolutionaries, they just didn't know it until the crisis came. Those guys were able to recite long portions of the King James Bible, but not the works of Saul Alinsky. Apples don't fall far from the tree that produced them.

#6 Unless he gets an epiphany and changes, he is destined to be a divisive partisan hack pitting one group against another.

#7 he is destined to be a divisive partisan That is all Obama has ever been, and that is what our political process has turned into.

#8 "community organizer" has always been a divisive position, because it plays on grievances, real or imaginary. Assume the victim status, even if you went to the best schools, had supporters in high places, never produced any jobs on your own.

#9 Rookie pitcher supposed phenom, brought in to be the closer in the big game, and gave up 6 runs before even getting the ball over the plate.

#11 "he is destined to be a divisive partisan"

Destined? What the hell do you think he is now?

#12 Did he suck? How do you measure success or failure at something fundamentally unproductive? It's like saying someone sucks at, I don't know, loitering or watching TV. Is there a way to do those things that sucks more than others?

#13 "A dedicated Communist, raised from birth to be a revolutionary ..." > Intehwesting, but then IMO the question becomes did his former Muslim faith NOT compromise his Commie upbringing???

#15 "Every night just before bed, he reads 10 letters ~~carefully selected by Valerie Jarret to reinforce his imagined sense of competency~~ pulled from the 20,000 that Americans sent to him each day."

What? What happened?

Yes to all of the above Joe, and let us not forget his most recent initiative to place "advisors" in Africa. He's slowly returning to his ....Communist Dilusions of my Father" roots. Residence for him abroad looms on the horizon.

#17 I've read the title as "Still a Communist Organizer at Heart"

Blame my internal no-BS babelfish.
