Barack Obama on community organizing

[MrJOKELA]

Despite your colour, you are a great man :)

[wiferachel]

Maybe the dems will gather all the community organizers and start a big think tank?

[AndrewEyedea]

Obama grew up on the tough streets of Hawaii. :)

[waw1212]

I'm for Barack all the way, I've even done some work for the student branch at my college, but i got asked a question recently and I was completely stumped.

What DID Barack do for the Chicago people? Does anybody actually know? Like were there any major achievements that I can bring up when asked that question?

Any advice would be appreciated.

[jodydodd123]

From the Nation Magazine:Obama and DCP protected community interests regarding landfills and helped win employment training services, playgrounds, after-school programs, school reforms and other public amenities.

One example on asbestos in buildings: Barack organized a group to city officials, results:

Ultimately, the city was forced to test all the apartments and eventually begin cleaning them up.

[abovefilms]

c'mon dude. do a google search. stop being so lazy. one thing he did was organize and lead factory steel workers who were laid off, and helped them find other work. that alone is more than george bush did to help the working man over the last eight years.

Barack Obama is the most posotive and understading canidate out threre.

Obama 08

[gloryoski]

That purple is nice on him. It's good to see him not in a tie. Not that anyone asked.

[HeathenRage]

The democratic party should stop the in-fighting soon, and take the next 6 months to engage ALL Americans to get involved and VOTE, go door-to-door if you have to...... Do Not Squander this opportunity to bring these folks into the process and unite this country.

[HeathenRage]

Let me make a point, the largest block of constituents are those that, DO NOT VOTE.

All indications are that the largest percentage of these folks would vote for Obama.

I think it would be most advantageous to enlist these folks before November...there are more of them than those that currently vote in either party, and with their vote you get the kind of political power that would free you from undue pressure and influents from party upper echelons.

[Zimeeisme]

What did Obama do as a community organizer in his own community? I have not heard anything about it or seen anything. I have searched the net. I would appreciate some links.

All that I have found are a few speeches to raise money and a few donations by the Obama's in the past few years...of course a big one to Trinity.

[beteck123]

Just make a random call to any Chicago resident and u will get an answer to your question from real people.There plans underway right now to rename Chicago OBAMALand.Only they are facing fierce competition from other cities who also are fighting to Franchise the OBAMA label

[1908AnnoCatuli]

I live in Chicago. And I would never, ever rename it OBAMAland.

Especially with 5 letters capitalized like that. People would screw it up all the time.

[kanguesso]

what have you done lately for your own community? this applies to us all. we all have to chip in to our own respective communities. why don't you clean up your closet first before trying to clean up someone else's.

[fpstrainers]

obama 08 - Yes we can!

[Ltron9]

I can't wait for the slogan to change into "Yes We Did"!!

[livvidd]

Obama, The first and only politician I ever believed in, respected and just plain liked. Obama F.T.W!

[kwestyunz]

One of THE BEST presidents America will ever have...

[alyceclover]

Obama get some Grecian formula~they are turning you gray too soon.

[WalksOnClouds]

You think he's getting gray now, wait till he's been in office for 4 to 8 yrs.

And we don't want him using Grecian Formula. It puts so much lead into one's bloodstream...we don't want it cooking his brain.

[PizzaGuy65]

Obama08

[shaquillewr]

i can tell he really cares

[afterglow114]

barack obama will be the next president

[Hitlad47]

he sounds like the rock =p

[johnlucas1]

@Hitlad47: Not only does he sound like The Rock and sort of looks like The Rock, but he's also laying the smack down on their candidate asses as only The Great One can if ya smell what Barack is cookin'.

[lemotoftheweek]

Bring this man into the White House!

[ethiohoney08]

I love you OBAMA!!!!

[4wehttam]

If his campaign is any indication of his presidency, we are in for one of THE BEST presidents America will ever have. His grassroots donations and people able to raise the money he has is astounding. No candidate before him has done this as remarkably as he has done. His campaign is hard working, consistent, honest, dedicated and team efficient.

[bedhed17]

si se puede

[wopwoman]

YES WE WILL! OBAMA 08. The best choice for America's future.

[CaptBarbados]

Wise men would do well to follow this star...

[garret166]

I am voting for Obama, but if hillary doesn't back out soon... he might not win the presidency :( Something has to happen, and something has to happen soon!!!!!

[200twistatwista]

And,he is younger than the other president's that's also why he is cool.

[AnAmericanGentleman]

He doesn't look it, but he's actually older then Teddy Roosevelt, John Kennedy, and Bill Clinton were when they took the presidency.

[Kalikatemusic]

America is heading for the greatest president ever....VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!please!

[Reeds8888]

Obama '08!

[teeftaller7]

Barack 2008

[zephyrus001]

Please don't censor comments like Hillary does! I'm an Obama supporter and I hate to see you guys creating a fake face for the campaign. It's the same sort of stonewalling tactics that Bush perpetrated, allowing the country to go to squat in the meantime. Dissent is good!

[DuncanWells]

This is the kind of President the United States Of America should have had years ago. It's way past the time that America got rid of the old style politics of bed-partners, corruption, underhandedness and cover-ups. These are the things, in my mind, that Hillary Clinton stands for. Barack Obama has GOT to be given the opportunity to prove to America that he is all of the things he claims to be. Good luck to him!

[IAMTHEGADE]

yo!!! Obama Jordan is from nc ask for his endorsement cause i want to see Obama vs Jordon in some b-ball that will be cool and a great photo op think about it

[toosinbeymen]

Gotta love this guy, there's just no other way, IMHO.

[mozfreak84]

this is one of the reasons I love this guy.

[sliverpeltofstarclan]

Obama Is awesome!

[lwblack64]

We are witnessing just that Barack. People are donating their money to your campaign and it's making a difference, a BIG difference. Just today, in an act of desperation, Hillary stated that Barack is trying to stop people from voting. We know it aint over til its over and Barack has already said he feels Hillary should stay in the race. Her logic appears to be along these lines: "If I can't win honestly then I will win dishonestly". Now thats pulling out all the stops. And then some.. Obama '08

[fefegirl10]

yes we can! obama 2008. (:

change we CAN beilive in! =)

[jewkid80]

u rock dude

[rhyn0production]

hillary is good but Obama is better

[RVCz]

we must bring change Obama 08

[whitetuber]

Where are the John F. Kennedy tax-cutting Democrats? Lower taxes help the economy. Even the former Soviet satellite states like Estonia and Lithuania have enacted flat taxes. Lowering rates in our anti-growth, anti-entrepreneur tax code is the best non-inflationary liquidity in the galaxy. But as the Heritage Foundation notes, though we won the Cold war, Russia has a flat tax while we're still stuck with America's museum of mass confusion, the IRS.

[MAsterKakashi6]

I support Obama for 08!!

[georgep922]

I never heard of "Community Organizers" before I learned Obama's story.

Wouldn't it be AMAZING if he inspires a new generation of people, humble enough to serve their communities for the sake of duty and patriotism, and not money and political capital.

[MadTVonTV]

judging by the amount of subscribers, I think Obama will win

[Israelrules4]

OBAMA FOR '08

[selemawit14]

Obama makin it all the way to the white house the HONEST way. Hilary is willing to do anything to win, even if it means goin against everythin that's right!~!~!~

Obama 08

[KriyaArts]

Those who harp about "experience" seem to have "experience" confused with wisdom. Obama has plenty of wisdom, which is far better than experience in any circumstance. "Yes We Can!"

[sweetie10134]

he is the best for 08!!!!!!

[frenchpeacock]

Yes we can!

PAiX

[CODEREDpictURes1]

change we CAN believe in! Barack Obama is AMAZING! i can't believe he's not been sworn into office yet! who wouldn't vote for him?!

[skyler81501]

YES WE CAN! TOGETHER WE CAN!

[lbeebe2]

I love your message, you speak from the heart!! This is an 'human-evolution' campaign and your spirit knows this and it shines through.....!!

[mysteryhat]

[taliabear2010]

i love you Obama!!!! i just wish these losers would stop stressing him out so much with the BS!! he's gotten so much grayer wince this thing began...

[Flark33]

If this man isn't elected president of the United States, Barack Obama hasn't failed, then America has failed.

[09IX]

obama 08

[harpyemma]

This guy is right on the money. We should get him _ON_ the money! In the White House, in history.

[dharmick]

This is at the core of this man's strengths as a leader.

He understands drawing people together at the grassroots, based on common real-people values.

Then he uses the Power of the Many to overpower the lobbyists and drive Washington decision-making in the interests of the People as a Whole.

Yes. We. Can.

Barack Obama is going to be a very good President.

[karlleonsoul]

Ya know it's interesting how government is really suppose to be ran like this. For the people.

[carolepyo]

He's cleary the right man for president. OBAMA 08!!

[ohghosts]

[lorettarosa]

[newyorkfish]

Obama is the only honest candidate !!

I want Obama to be the President of the United States.

Yes we can !!

[skyler81501]

YES WE CAN! TOGETHER WE CAN!

[mazesarecool]

We need him in washington!!!!

[aliakbar01]

A lot of people don't know what one is b/c it's so rare and really created within itself. IN fact, during the video - Barack never states it. Concerning...

[infinityofnever]

I think Obama's hair is turning grey. I can't imagine the stress he's going through.

[PeaceProfit]

YOU*ARE-THE*POWER-THE*FUTURE-T­HE*CHANGE

One is neither part of the problem nor the solution, one is merely a consequence of the situation . . .

IMPROVE THE SITUATION.

BL*M

[no1funkydiva]

It's time for a change!
