Obama's Alinksy connection

[Bann (Premo)]

"Obama answered a help-wanted ad for a position as a community organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) in Chicago. Obama was 24 years old, unmarried, very accustomed to a vagabond existence, and according to his memoir, searching for a genuine African-American community.


Both the CCRC and the DCP were built on the Alinsky model of community agitation, wherein paid organizers learned how to "rub raw the sores of discontent," in Alinsky's words."

American Thinker: Obama's Alinsky Jujitsu

[Bann (Premo)]

"One of Obama's early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an Ryan Lizza of The New Republic, about Obama:


"He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better."
The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the "realization" that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent "self-interest" in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease."

I thought Saul Alynski was Hillary's mentor.

It seems she and Obama , have a lot in common.
Does Obama get funds from George Soros too?

I tend to take what I read on Wikipedia with a grain of salt - since it can be changed by just about anyone. But when I do read there and have more questions, or wonder about the sources, I do more searching.

Yep, that's what Saul Alinsky was, and that's why Hillary did her college thesis on him. Her hero.

Probably! But then I read that McCain has, too. (I have more researching on that one to do) I think it was in an indirect way, but haven't checked it out.

McCain wasn't my first choice, but I'd choose him over Socialist 1 or Socialist 2 anyday.

She's been an angry white woman since she left her home & her father.

Apparently, he was very demanding & nothing could please him. (And also conservative.) When she left home she rebelled against that by going so far to the other extreme & choosing people like Saul Alinsky to model herself after. Of course, there's more to it than that, but that's my take on it.
