What IS A Community Organizer?

EUREKA!

Robert Gibbs, Obama's Senior Strategist/Spokesman, just appeared as a guest on FNC's 'The Strategy Room', hosted by Chris Wallace.

In discussing Governor Palin's speech last night, Wallace was, surprisingly, committed to asking question after question of Gibbs regarding the points Governor Palin made about Obama's inexperience in her much-lauded speech of last night.

Wallace rattled them off two at a time and, as Gibbs shifted quite uncomfortably in his chair, his face becoming more and more red, licking his lips nervously, white knuckles glowing in contrast to the black fabric of the armrest as he squeezed tighter and tighter with each passing second of shrieking silence on his part, stammering to find some kind of answer, just... stunned, speechless, and so uncomfortable, until Wallace, for the sake of time, had to move things along and ask another question.

Finally, Wallace got to "THE" question...

What is a "community organizer"?

Are you sitting down? Breathe deeply and regularly. Relax. Remember, Obama believes, with all his heart, THIS is the experience that qualifies him for the White House. This is the experience to which Obama constantly points as the defining and shining moments of his "experience-rich" career. I'll concede it was work of importance. It was. I'll not diminish Obama's community organizer experience.

Okay, here we go...

Robert Gibbs, sitting almost sideways in his seat, as if he was squirming away from what he was going to say, stuttered and stammered and answered (a really good paraphrasing follows, italics for emphasis mine):

You want to know what Obama did as a community organizer? Is that what you want to know? Okay. Okay. What community organizing meant to Obama was that people no longer had to live in homes infected with asbestos. And it meant he found jobs for skilled workers displaced from a steel mill closure.

And that, ladies and gentleman, is what Obama and his supporters believe qualifies him to be President of the United States of America.

Delusional doesn't even come close to describing the state of the minds that have bought into Obama's (complete lack of) experience story.

Since this is the meat of Obama, who is the Man Behind the Curtain pulling the strings? Is it Soros, or, is that too obvious? Obama has been hiding in plain sight his entire political career, so, the obvious wouldn't be too far off the mark, actually.

I hope you found this interesting. I sure as hell did. In more ways than one. This illustrates the complete willingness, of at least fifty percent of the American public, to "buy" an individual, deliberately molded as a "living trend", who has been hawked by endless infomercials to be "the thing" which will give them that feeling of "satisfaction" they crave when "something new" is purchased from the "liberal store" of politics. Obama is a liberal's "HOT ITEM" within the pages of their "catalog".

UPDATE: 1630 hrs

Obama, leaving the York PA studio in where he taped his interview with Bill O'Reilly, took questions from reporters before boarding his bus out of town. One asked him to define his community organizing since it has been an issue for quite some time. Obama confirmed what his spokesman, Gibbs, had said earlier, wanting to add "the important point" that in addition to community organizer, he is also a Harvard-educated attorney.
