The community organizer who became president has launched a massive pre-reelection year campaign to assemble and train an army of new community organizers to carry Obama's "movement forward for years to come." Strengthening "our democracy" presumably has something to do with reelecting the revered leader in 2012. However, the recruiting message says nothing about politics or election campaigns and strangely talks in military terms of "a grassroots program that aims to put boots on the ground and help foster a new generation of leaders -- not just to help win elections but to strengthen our democracy in communities across the country." The message about what it calls the "Summer Organizing Fellowship" adds: "Effective organizing doesn't happen in a vacuum. It takes commitment, time, and hard work to build a movement around a cause." It does not specify what the "cause" is, other than promoting Obama and his agenda.Democrat Obama awaits his entrance cue 9-10-10 News of the community organizer drive went out in an e-mail to millions of supporters and past donors Tuesday night by the ongoing arm of the Obama campaign, Organizing for America. It appealed for workers of all ages to volunteer to undergo professional organizational training this summer for stationing in communities all over the nation to drive President Obama's social and political agenda. The cadres "will be assigned to a specific community," the message informs, "where they'll work to organize supporters street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood." Their job will involve recruiting additional Obama workers, running Obama-related events, knocking on doors to talk of Obama "and lay new groundwork to carry this movement forward for years to come." "In the end," the Obama campaign appeal says of the community organizer corps, "their work will take our grassroots power to an impressive new level." The appeal cites as one role model Nikki Giancola who underwent the training, then quit her middle school teacher's job to become a regional Obama field director and the satisfaction she felt "in helping millions of people." Another community organizer, Paras Patel, tells of one unforgettable moment actually meeting the leader for whom they all labor, President Obama. "He shook my hand," Patel recounts, "and told me that he was proud of me." No mention of an Obama organizer flag, uniform -- or salute. -- Andrew Malcolm

Look at all those young people. The Tea Party is full of old diabetics from the suburbs. Guess which demographic wins in the end? How does it feel to see your own extinction looming?
The consolation is knowing that the young Useful Idiots will be living in a shithole of their own making, and I had some really good years the likes of which they'll never see. A few of them might even be bright enough to remember that someone told them so and realize they have only themselves to blame for their misery.
I can see you now in the socialist old age home ranting like that to your Filipino nurse..... Your generation never figured out how to program a VCR. The upcoming internet 3.0 will be like magic to them.
