Nobody thinks Obama is the Messiah. That's a right-wing talking point.
As usual you guys focus on your own failures - and here you reflect your adoration of ZombieReagan and the incredible, almost sexual devotion you had for George W. Bush.
It makes sense that some background things would only come out after the nomination. Since the McCain camp was so intent on keeping this off the grid until the announcement, they couldn't exactly ask too many questions of too many people without word leaking early. Only time will tell which rumors are true and which aren't. Secrets live in shadows and dark corners and only come out when exposed to bright lights.
I'm not Mr. Body, but let's not let a little "Pea" stand in the way. The idea behind community organizing is that certain segments of the population get drowned out or underrepresented during discussions and decision-making by civic or state leaders. The purpose of community organizing is to pull the resources of the community together and provide a representative voice in discussions that affect that particular community.
For example, during Obama's time as community organizer, the City of Chicago was hiring companies to inspect and remove asbestos from vacant commercial property in an attempt to at revitalization, but hadn't checked the surrounding low-income apartment buildings to see whether they had a problem with asbestos as well. Obama organized a campaign that eventually got the city to inspect the apartment buildings and remove the asbestos they contained.
He's a communist! Those people should have magically known about the program, found the building with the board room, and individually went in and offered information! That's, like, how something works!1!!
He's also the Messaih because people like him and he says the problems of this country will take far more than just him to solve! That's crazy talk! Regean!! Regean! Bush who? Reeagn is th ebest oh my god I just came in my pants!
Communist?I stopped reading right there.
That was parody.Communist?
See you just haven't opened your mind to the accomplishments of the chosen one. I just saw the "Obama Revealed" biography on CNN last night. I bet you didn't know that the city of Chicago was going to remove asbestos from managment offices of some projects but the Messiah in all his wisdom stood up and said "Hey there is asbestos in the apartments too! The city should also remove that!". Only a few years later, the asbestos was removed. No one on the planet except for the great messiah could have pulled that off. It is clearly change we can believe in.
Joe, if you've read the rest of Mr. Body's posts, you know his views on these issues.Communist?
We need more blue around here....
True, lots of people could have "pulled it off". The catch is, lots of people didn't give a , so they wouldn't have volunteered their time and effort to do so.
But the question really is: Was the asbestos removed by one of Rezko's companies? An inquiring mind wants to know. Or was it one of Daly's bunch.
You don't really want to know. You prefer the innuendo.
All this love for Palin just shows how much the Right hates their candidate, John McCain, and wants someone else.
Of course I am being sarcastic. But it would be interesting to know, wouldn't it.

You have a really, really funny way of reasoning. Really strange.
If it was a government contract, I'm sure the information is readily available.
In Chicago...............
It's officially from the campaign because it has the logo.
So what?In Chicago...............
Once again, you don't really care.
Oh, Chump. Have I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry.
You haven't and wouldn't be sorry about it either.
That's true. And I knew I hadn't, but the day wouldn't be complete without a little fuss with you.....
Going to see how the Hurricane is doing. I am starting a rumor that Obama is out in the gulf doing his Messiah thing to save New Orleans.
He didn't need a boat. He walked out there. But Rev. Wright is having a little trouble treading water. Some Catholic priest keeps pulling him under.
Reality imitating satire
Evidently, the McCain campaign is using Gustav as a training ground for Palin.
The nice thing about google is it's so easy to find out if anybody else gave a .

Obama's Altgeld Gardens account also omits the work of Johnson.
She was already widely known for her pioneering work in pushing officials to investigate environmental hazards at local industrial sites. Spurred by her husband's premature death from lung cancer, Johnson had begun do enting the health complaints of Altgeld residents in the late 1970s. Johnson formed a group called People for Community Recovery and tried to cajole scientists to study possible links between the ailments that residents reported to her and the harmful substances around their community.
One of those scientists, Regnal Jones, visited Johnson in the early 1980s and recalls sitting in her kitchen as she laid out hundreds of index cards listing the illnesses throughout Altgeld. He said he was "blown away" by Johnson's survey.
During that visit, Jones said, he inspected Johnson's apartment and concluded that her heating pipes were insulated with asbestos.
From that point on, Johnson says, she included asbestos in her complaints to government officials.
As Obama became involved in the asbestos issue, Johnson was among those who worked with him.
One more person does not equal "lots of people". The point is if "lots of people" gave a , there wouldn't be a need for organizers and volunteers to begin with.
We use such terms because of his lack of specific message, yet he is a magnet.
CHANGE!
No specifics, just the same promises to be broken that demonrats always make, yet people flock around him as if he was the living Christ!
LOL...
There are real reasons to like president Reagan. Not so many for president Bush. President Bush isn't trated like a diety at all.
Are you an Obambie?
