OBAMA'S "COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE" IN PERSPECTIVE
By Christopher G. Adamo
BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.: THE NATURE OF OBAMA'S AGENDA & THE MEANS BY WHICH HE
INTENDS TO IMPLEMENT IT -- OBAMA'S ENTIRE POLITICAL CAREER AS AN UNALTERED PATTERN OF OPERATING WITHIN
THE REALMS OF "COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS," MOST OF WHOM HAVE, OVER TIME, PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE WHOLLY
SELF SERVING & INDIFFERENT TO THE NEEDS OF THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS -- OBAMA, "ACORN," & MASSIVE EFFORTS AT
VOTER FRAUD -- OBAMA'S STANDARD MODE OF OPERATION: ADVANCING HIS POLITICAL CAREER ON THE BACKS
OF THE URBAN MASSES -- TALK OF "CHANGE" TO STOKE THE EMOTIONS OF THE CROWDS, BUT WITH NO REAL CHANGE
OR IMPROVEMENT RESULTING -- CARRYING THE TORCH OF LEFTIST ECONOMIC & SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION
FULL STORY:
A notion frequently advanced by Conservatives during this year’s presidential race is that, if elected, Barack Hussein
Obama, Jr., would not bring any useful experience to the White House, due to his sparse political background,
including, among other dubious roles, that of being a “community organizer.” This idea is wrong in the extreme. As a
direct result of his “community organizing” work, Obama garnered a huge store of expertise that promises to be
extremely useful in implementing his agenda, should he become President of the U.S.A. But it is the nature of that
agenda, and the means by which he intends to implement it, that should have Americans gravely concerned.
First, however, the actualities of “community organizers” need to be understood. Certainly, a few such individuals are
sincere and honorable in their efforts to improve their surroundings. Yet, the majority of those who have participated in
“community organizing” have, over time, proven themselves to be wholly self serving, and ultimately indifferent to the
needs of their fellow citizens. In the minds of such people, the common folk are not the real concern, but merely a
“resource” to be summoned and discarded at the pleasure of those leading the particular movement.
If such an assessment sounds overly harsh, consider the organization “ACORN” (the “Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now”) and Obama’s relationship with it. ACORN claims to fight for the improvement of
societal conditions for low and moderate income families. Yet, it regularly engages in massive efforts at voter fraud.
Such action, reveals a total indifference towards those it claims to represent. Just how much care for the concerns of real
people could it possibly have, considering that ACORN often promotes its goals through the registration of “voters”
who are either nonexistent or dead?
Obama’s entire political career, both before and after being elected to the United States Senate, is an unaltered pattern
of operating within such realms. And, with each passing day, it becomes more evident that this action was undertaken
for the sole purpose of advancing the career of Barack Obama.
Thus can his nonexistent record of achievements be explained. Each community situation in which he found himself
served as an opportunity to wax eloquent in front of the microphones. Yet, after all of the fanfare subsided, nothing had
changed. Nothing was intended to change. And, while talk of “change” served to stoke the emotions of the crowds, real
change would have eliminated any reason for those crowds to continually flock to him and empower him to take on his
seemingly worthy cause.
In like manner, the churches of the Reverend Wrights continue to grow and enrich themselves and the careers of Obama
and his kind are advanced on the backs of the masses from the urban neighborhoods. Demands for “justice and
opportunity” draw public funds into the communities. But their streets continue to be ravaged by crime, the graduation
and literacy rates of their public schools remain a total disgrace, and the vaunted “change” promised to them remains
thoroughly elusive.
Upon even a cursory examination of how modern Washington, D.C., works, and especially considering the rampant
nature of present day chaos and corruption that permeates the District of Columbia political establishment, it should
quickly become obvious that Obama’s background indeed represents the perfect “resume” for an aspiring leader in such
an environment.
Admittedly, from a historical standpoint, Obama is wholly unqualified to preside over the apparatus of this nation’s
government. Nor does he display any grasp of the American economic engine. Furthermore, he has demonstrated no
ability to comprehend the ebb and flow of relationships with foreign governments. And his understanding of, or
appreciation for, the United States Constitution as the rightful framework for the American system is either woefully
lacking or merely an annoyance that he long ago chose to discard. But such considerations are the realm of traditional
America, so Obama has no interest in them. He has no intention of remaining within such tiresome limitations.
If his campaign tactics are any indication, the Illinois Senator sees the likelihood of accomplishing much more according
to his “community organizer” background than through the insipid and limited methods of conventional governing.
Rather, he is far more comfortable carrying the torch of Leftist social transformation. While most of America seems
oblivious to the connection between his current ideology and past actions, Obama’s standard mode of operation has
been on display for any who are willing to examine his governing patterns critically and objectively. A few noteworthy
examples make this case.
After Hillary Rodham Clinton withdrew from a speaking engagement at an anti-Iran event being held by the Conference
of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations last week, the Obama campaign launched an intimidation crusade
against the gathering, threatening it with a possible lawsuit if it allowed Sarah Louise Heath Palin to speak there.
Apparently, alerting the American public, and in particular its Jewish contingent, to the dangers posed by Iran is no more
significant or worthwhile to Obama and his minions than the preservation of First Amendment right to free speech.
On another front, the Obama campaign promoted an incredible compilation of lies that were incorporated into a series of
ads, produced only in Spanish, and aired only on Spanish speaking stations, which fraudulently portray John Sidney
McCain III as hostile to Hispanics. This despicable incident displayed, once again, how political operatives of Obama’s
genre are perfectly willing to exploit and inflame ethnic divisions that exist in our country in order to gain the political
upper hand. As a side note, it also serves as a reminder of why America’s Leftists are such strident advocates of bilingual
education.
Finally, it is necessary to examine the revolving doors linking America’s failing giant financial institutions to the cabal of
Democrats in the Congress. It is here that enormous quantities of taxpayer dollars are being siphoned and recirculated
between crooked financiers and collaborating politicians. As a means of accessing a seemingly endless supply of cash
for those on the inside, this scandalous state of affairs represents the zenith of “community organizer” aspirations. And it
is no surprise that Barack Obama is among the chief recipients of “donations” from such enterprises.
In both cases, while the common people remain at their predetermined rung on the lowest end of the economic ladder, the
“community organizers” and politicians become wealthy beyond belief or understanding. And, if the whole charade
eventually collapses under its own disproportionate weight, it is those “little people” at the bottom who will foot the bill.
Certainly, with each successive revelation of the financial corruption and cronyism that has nearly destroyed America’s
banking system, the commonality between the workings of the demagogues in the nation’s urban neighborhoods and the
murkiest aspects of the status-quo in Washington, D.C., become more evident. And no one has done a more thorough job
of transitioning from the former to the latter than Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
