I heard her speech, and she very condisendingly compared her experience as a mayor and obamas experience as a community worker. She spoke as though her being a mayor was far superior. As a community social worker i take offence, we are the ones getting our hands dirty and and really working and getting on a personal level with the people....no doubt she had had a lot of paper work etc...but working on the streets with our societies marginalized members is real life changing experience.

and this is why i love Obama,he takes all the negative republican energy and lets it roll of his back. He is a better person than either of them could ever hope to be. They are intimidated by his good nature and the fact that people are drawn to him.

OBAMA 2012

To all of you wondering how the republicans at the RNC could possibly find this jab funny, it's because of this (and I am non-partisan so don't pin this on the democrats): They are horrible human beings. Scum of the earth. That's why they can laugh about the fact that someone volunteered their time to help people. No other explanation really when you seriously take a good look at it.

Why the Republicans are unable to make their argument for deregulation, free-trade and pro-business policies without denigrating community service that seeks to help the least among us is beyond me. They are mocking community organizing during a campaign whose motto is 'country first' and the day after the RNC theme was 'service' lol.

Love Barack's response!

Let's win this thing, baby..

Palin has forgotten that as the mayor of 5000 people she put them in debt.

I am not even american, but i was truely inspired by his comm. organsin.

you can't blame him for not reversing the tide,after all he was almost fighting alone at at time.but hey,he has AMERICA behind him now!

[thespyglass1103]

Absolutely right.

Giuliani and Palin's mocking of people who try to help their communities was despicable and I can't believe the media haven't pulled them up on it.

McCain who are you fighting for?

Jesus Christ was a community organizer...Pontius Pilot (the man who sent Christ to death) was a governor.

Yes they do think the lives of those people are not relevant. Those comments pissed me off so much when that dumb chick said that we were furious. Community organizing and giving back to people who deserve and NEED service IS a real job and further more it demonstrates the character of the person who is doin it because most times its for free and for little money. Don't worry Obama I got you!

Jesus was a community organizer.

Pontius Pilate was a governor.
