Community Organizers in Chicago (unemployed, neighborhoods, asbestos)

[bluenoter]

What do community organizers do?

What were you doing when you were 21 years old and straight out of college? Probably hitting beer bongs and trying to get laid.

What does a State Senator do? Or a U.S. Senator? And what have you accomplished?

I hope the anti-Obama trolls get the h*** out of the Chicago forum after Tuesday. It's becoming unbearable, and each attack is lamer than the last.

Look buddy not everyone in Chicago or the Chicago area supports Obama-but your post is stupid and inflammatory.

Yes, there are stupid questions, and yes, you just asked one.

As others have noted it is an idiotic question, and you are obviously a troll. That said, here is an answer...

Community organizer is not a position funded by the city, they are funded by a myriad of non-profit organizations and what an organizer does for work is very dependent on the non-profit they are working working for.

What you are obviously asking about is what did Barack Obama do as a community organizer. If you are not a mouth breather this information is easily obtained by a quick Google search. Assuming you are a mouth breather/troll, and are incapable of a basic Google search, here is what he did:

He worked for the Developing Communities Project (http://www.dcpincorp.org/About_us.html - broken link). He worked with residents and church groups to get the City of Chicago to test their public housing projects for asbestos, and create a plan to deal with the problem. To fight for police presence around parks that had been taken over by dealers and gangs. Worked to create a job center for the unemployed.

This is what he did for a couple years when he was in his early 20's, and left it feeling a little frustrated and looking for better ways to improve neighborhoods, so keep it in perspective.
