Common Folk Using Common Sense

In 1985, freshly graduated from Columbia University and working for a New York business consultant, Barack Obama decided to become a community organizer.

But Obama’s brand of “community organizing” relied on a community of homeless people and ex-cons organizing for the purpose of registering dead people to vote, shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon. Obama’s community organizing days involved training grievance-mongers from the far-left ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The ACORN mob is infamous for its bully tactics and ability to register dead people to vote.

From Stanley Kurtz at the New York Post:

What exactly does a “community organizer” do? Barack Obama’s rise has left many Americans asking themselves that question. Here’s a big part of the answer: Community organizers intimidate banks into making high-risk loans to customers with poor credit.

In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes - and thereby force financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.

In other words, community organizers help to undermine the US economy by pushing the banking system into a sinkhole of bad loans. And Obama has spent years training and funding the organizers who do it.

The seeds of today’s financial meltdown lie in the Community Reinvestment Act - a law passed in 1977 [by President Carter] and made riskier by unwise amendments and regulatory rulings in later decades.

Change you can believe in.
