Barky's commie front group won't close after 2017
2015-01-03
The grassroots political and fundraising operation that President Obama created to win election and push his agenda will continue past his presidency, a first in American politics.
First goal for an organization, any organization, is to perpetuate itself...
Jim Messina, co-chairman of Organizing for Action, said in an email to supporters that the group will continue to lobby for "change" after the next election, even if Hillary Clinton wins office.

"OFA is not a political campaign," he declared of the nonpartisan group closely aligned with the Democratic Party and that is Obama’s booster operation. The president regularly fundraises for OFA.

"We're a built-to-last movement that's not going anywhere. When the polls close and elections end, we're the ones still here, fighting for the principles we believe in," said Messina, Obama’s campaign manager.

OFA started as Obama for America, his campaign operation. It morphed into Organizing for America during his re-election and is now a stand-alone liberal advocacy group.

"We are -- and will continue to be -- the sum of millions of grassroots voices calling for change," said Messina’s note.

The group has 250 offices around the nation.

No other president has kept a 24/7 lobbying and campaign operation up and running after their election and re-election like Obama. And keeping it operational after he leaves office Jan. 20, 2017, indicates that he may take charge of it.
He has to have something to do other than play golf. With OFA he can give a job to his buddy Al Sharpton...
