Why do Republicans and Conservatives bash Obama's time spent as a Community organizer?

Question

The man choose to take a much lower paying job than he could have go in order to serve others. Wouldn't most people admire someone that did that? And then they love to spin it and say that his only experience is that of a Community organizer, which any Christian should see as an a honorable thing.

Of course if any of you did your homework , you would know that George W. Bush's first job after graduation from Yale was painting oil rigs. Who better served others. Obama or Bush? One of Cheney's first job's after graduating from Yale was working on a telephone repair crew. Again, it was Obama that was serving others.

So , if you have an ounce of Christianity in you, do you think it might be possible that you stop bashing someone who served others and not himself?

Answer 1

So what you are trying to say is that Bush and Cheney had to get real jobs for a while before their political life started where as Obama through preferential treatment was able to jump right in.  

Answer 2

Presenting the truth respectfully is not "bashing."

Answer 3

Because it proves he's an.... elitist?

Answer 4

Why do Democrats bash Palin's time spent as the mayor of a small town? At least that offers administrative experience.

Answer 5

They should not, Obama has mentioned the right things that have

to be done, but only once, like the collapse of the Black community,

(The tires comment, was good, it is what auto people say)

But alas, the man is not Qualified, Lincoln was, Grant was not,

Answer 6

Because it goes against everything Republicans are about.  They're not into serving America but, as the disastrous Bush presidency made painfully clear, about enriching themself and former business associates at the expense of the ordinary people and blaming liberals when it goes wrong.

They simply can't imagine someone would choose a noble yet less paying job for the common good. Sad but true.

Answer 7

Well since Yahoo will only post anti-McCain adds I'll just have to give you the REAL reason as to why Obama has already lost the election

here's what your empty suit will do for America

Yes, Mr O plans to give illegal aliens (lawbreakers) citizenship, free college tuition, free medical care & health insurance, Social Security, and he is going to raise income taxes substantially on all households with an income of $30,000 and up. Of course, even with substantially higher income, Social Security taxes, "windfall profits taxes" on your retirement savings & sale of your home, & all other taxes, he will still bankrupt the US, destroy what is left of the medical system, and none of us will have any health care, education, retirement savings, etc.

If your household has $30,000 income, your federal income taxes will increase @$5000/yr in his 1st year (more than double current rates of @$4600), and double taxes again before 2012. If you have saved a 401k, IRA, or anything else for your current retirement, he plans to take about half (to start with) in addition to all existing taxes. And if you sell your house, he wants 42 percent.

Of course, his current household income is in excess of $500,000 a year, and I'm wondering how he plans to get around paying taxes, since he is not about to pay these increased taxes himself.

Now here is all his " Gates "

"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an exclusive interview with World Net Daily and with the John Batchelor Show on WABC Radio in New York.

Answer 8

Because it's not quite a real job; Harvard grad's should be doing more than being community agitators/fomenters and passing out brochures

Peace

Answer 9

Because they have nothinf else against him

Answer 10

what does being Christian have to do with it???????

Answer 11

It's a waste of time joke.  It's like saying I worked for the United Way and now I am qualified to be the commander in chief of the worlds mightiness superpower.  If that qualifies you, then I might as well volunteer to be a community organizer right now.  

Answer 12

Marxism is incompatible with Christianity.  Obama's activities as a "community organizer" were pursued as a disciple of Saul Alinsky.  These were partisan activities; churches provided a means to an end, the end being radical social change through agitation methods, through "rubbing the sores of discontent" of individuals and large groups of people.  Saul Alinsky and his agenda don't really resonate with most Christians, but deception is inherent to the Alinsky method.  "By any means necessary" stuff.

Answer 13

This is like the greatest question ever and I thought the same thing! I bet you anything that if McCain were in Obama's shoes he would have went for the money. Then maybe he could have 9 or 10 houses.

Answer 14

Because McSame promises to be a clone of Bush and Bush is the worst President ever, in the eyes of many.  So, how would you run if you were a Republican.  Praise Bush/McSame or attack anything Obama is/does?

Answer 15

1st- Low paying job is a myth.  He was getting paid what anybody was getting back then (early 80's) for any entry level job.  And he got a free car to boot from the organization he was working for.

2nd- The job was to find "problems" in the community, organize protests against the persons causing the problem, and force them to change.  This usually involved businesses that weren't hiring the :right" people and the protests were blockage of the businesses access so that the business would fail if it did not pay out the organization running the protest.  This is how a community organizer works.  Just a huge protection racket right out of Al Capone days.
