Have you ever tried to organize a community?

Lead.. no .I have been involved in community projects both inside and outside government and have worked in various campaigns

He lists his accomplishments as trying to find jobs for laid off steel workers (unsuccessfully) . He tried to organize a network of community churches (he was advised by one of the pastors that he actually should attend church first and that is when he began attending Trinity United ). But his biggest victories followed. He expanded the summer job program and he was able to get some asbestos removed from an old housing project (Altgeld Gardens) . Yes something to add to a very thin resume.
By then he determined he was wasting his time being a community organizer .So he enrolled in law school.

Now do I think he is a capable organizer ? Of course . His campaign for the Presidency proved that . But I think he lives for the campaign and gets bored with the job. That is why he moved on so frequently during his rise. He never actually stayed around long enough to accomplish anything .

Says the man who is neither a lawyer nor a senator. LOL!

I stand by it too. He was only Senator long enough to have a cigarette break and to find the men's room.

There's a reason why no one takes you seriously here:

You're wrong. His problem is that he tries too hard to make everyone happy and still hasn't realized he will never be able to do that. He should have been a member of this site for at least three years before running for president.

Let's narrow that down to the one you can answer for, YOU don't take him seriously.

I don't know about tom, but I can build a shopping mall with a pocket knife and a Q-tip. Obama's main accomplishment is campaigning, he never stopped. By now he should have stopped the rise of the oceans and healed the planet.

No, that's Gore's job. And ours. Obama has other items on his agenda.

Uh, no. His ascension to power was "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." He said so himself. All that oil belies the claim though don't you think?

Wondergirl, when I'm not obviously being sarcastic (or stealing from movie lines) I'm always prepared to back it up. You shouldn't get ahead of things here...

You think that compares to graduation from Yale, being a lawyer and a senator? Really? That's why you guys whine on anonymous discussion boards all day, it's all you can accomplish.

Looks like you have found the perfect scapegoat, a politician who doesn't know when not to take responsibility in a crisis

Have you ever tried to build a shopping mall with a pocket knife and a Q-tip? Do you have a sense of humor? And how exactly does the fact that we're not Obama disqualify us from stating our opinion? He's a narcissistic community organizer that apologizes for his country when he's not dithering about how to exploit a crisis instead of solving one (or voting present).

Chris Matthews is nattering on and on now about how Obama should talk with BP's CEO (the one who's always smiling), not to the "little people." If I wanted to know something about a public library, I would not talk with the director; I would go straight to the employees. The director sits in an ivory tower; the employees deal with books and patrons day to day, minute to minute.

"Voting present" is peculiar to a few states, including Illinois. It means, "Not good enough to vote yes on. Go back and fix it, or you will get a no for the final vote."

Actually, no, he's not narcissistic. If I diagnosed him, I wouldn't label him with that.
