Making It: How Chicago Shaped Obama
by Ryan Lizza
Very, very long piece in the New Yorker, but it rings true. When someone in Chicago is a 'community organizer', what they're organizing is:
1) make sure the neighborhood votes regular Democrat
2) make sure the neighborhood votes for HIM.
Ms. Lizza has that figured out. Obama started in the south side and figured out how to hustle. He's been politically ambitious pretty much all his life. He got lucky not once but three times in his political races. And how he's the Dhimmicratic nominee. |
