So Seriously, What IS a community organizer?
 

I am really asking.

From Wiki:

"Community organizing is a process by which people are brought together to act in common self-interest. While organizing describes any activity involving people interacting with one another in a formal manner, much community organizing is in the pursuit of a common agenda. Many groups seek populist goals and the ideal of participatory democracy. Community organizers create social movements by building a base of concerned people, mobilizing these community members to act, and developing leadership from and relationships among the people involved."

If this is true, then by running our community MS-150 organization, I am a Community Organizer.

Hmmmmmmm. I have made my first step towards POTUS....bruuuuhhhhaaahaaahaaahaaaaahaaaaa!

A lawyer that makes things happen for politicians in exchange for making things happen for the "community".

It certainly puts you on an even footing with Obama, qualification-wise.

You are a Community Organizer

In Obama's case it's lawyering up government grant deals for your slimy slumlord buddy Rezco where he gets taxpayer funds to rehab his income properties.

All heart Obama.

Al Sharpton:D

I was an excellent community organizer . . . in SimCity. :D

Now, I want to be President!

It's what you put on your resume when you haven't had a real job.

Kurt for Sim-President

I was ruler of the world...in Civilization II. I'm much MORE qualified than you. SmileWavy

with Jesse Jackson not far behind...

Sounds like "lobbyist".

Well, in real life, I once created a terrarium with plants and insects - all living things inside lived or died at my will!

Top that! :cool:

You recruit people in the community and help them to become more dependent on the government.

so , that's kinda like a pig farmer, except without the profits?

Yes, and without the pigs and the pig farmer part.

Other than that, the exact same thing. :)

i was referring to the life and death at will part
pig farmers do a lot of that

My backyard is bigger than yours. ;)

A "community organizer" is like one of those little fish that hang off of a shark.

A shadowy world of "non-profits", government grants and other sources of funny money. Lots of money gets spent, little gets done and resumes get padded..

Not to be confused with a real job or real responsibilities.
