Subject:  Community Organizers

As a former community organizer, (two years with Volunteers In Service To America), I think I can explain the difference between a corporate manager and a community organizer.

Corporate managers seek resolutions of problems.  But the last thing a community organizer wants is a solution to the problems faced by his community.  The community organizer uses problems to rally his community.  If the problem is resolved then the community organizer must start all over again trying to find a way to motivate his “community” to organize around some new problem.

You could call this leading from behind. 

Mr. Obama was criticized for allowing the House and Senate to write the Medical Reform Bill by themselves.  He lead from behind because he was not focusing on solving the Health Problem.  Rather his goal was to organize around the Health Problem.  He wanted the issue not the solution.

 

Why did he demand another $400 billion at the last minute of negotiations of the budget with the Speaker of the House?  He didn’t want a solution to the budget he wanted the issue.  Why doesn’t he raise the quota on immigration from Mexico from the current 250,000 to a higher level?  Again he wants the issue to organize in this case the “Hispanic Community.”

 

He knows as well as you that the Social Security System and Medicare are doomed unless action is taken.  But whereas you layout plans to solve this problem the Community Organizer in the Oval Room is using the fear of the elderly community to organize them into a political force. 

Never the solution always the issues.

PS  And I think the Iranian nuclear program should be destroyed and the regime must be overthrown.
