Barack Obama: Failed Community Organizer, Failed President

How did half-black Barack Obama attempt to achieve the all-black “cred” required to pretend to become a black racial hero, to dupe the black community into voting for him, and to be elected the first inauthentically black president in United States history?

Community organizing.  That was his “thing.” As a community organizer, he hoped to charge into the south-side of Chicago, Jim Croce’s “baddest part of town,” to thunderous applause from the huddling masses.  With a little luck and a lot of self-promotion, he could set himself up for elective office and, eventually, for the ultimate elective office, the Oval Office. 

In Dreams from My Father, Barack Hussein, the would-be knight in shining black armor, wrote of his community organizing prowess saying he championed:

Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. Change in the Congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won’t come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots.”

So, what is Barack’s community organizing legacy?  Where did he lead Chicago?  More specifically, how did the Altgeld-Gardens section, the city section of his organizing efforts, turn out?        

According to http://homes.point2.com/Nei, today’s Altgeld-Gardens demographics are as follows, where 100 represents the national average and the higher the number, the worse the crime:

Total Crime Risk            232 Personal Crime Risk       361 Murder Risk                    435 Rape Risk                        315 Robbery Risk                  411 Assault Risk                    299 Property Crime Risk       146 Burglary Risk                  135 Larceny Risk                   108 Automotive Theft Risk   161

In short, Altgeld-Gardens affords its authentically black, biracial, white, and other citizens the unbridled opportunity to be three times more likely to be beaten or raped, over three and a half times the chance of being the victim of attempted and completed crimes, over four times more likely to be robbed, and over four and a third times greater likelihood of being slaughtered.

Slaughter is, in fact, is the operative word when one speaks of Chicago, so much so that on June 16, 2012, the Huffington Post wrote: “Chicago Homicide Rate Worse Than Kabul.”  Six days later that same Huffington Post promoted the opening of an University of Illinois at Chicago's Jane Addams Hull-House Museum exhibit suggesting that gang bangers should not be treated too harshly. 

The exhibit depicted

…the history and impact of the Conservative Vice Lords, one of the city's most well-known gangs.

And that history is, perhaps, a surprising one, according to Lisa Junkin, the museum's education coordinator and exhibit co-curator. Though the gang's predecessor (the Vice Lords) was a notoriously violent group, the '60s-era CVL were incorporated as a non-profit organization engaged in the civic life. Nevertheless, CVL members were targeted by police during the city's "war on gangs."

Junkin said the exhibition, which features photos, artifacts and audio interviews with former CVL members, "doesn't glorify or demonize gangs."

"Rather, it challenges widely held views of gang members as unredeemable thugs through an untold story of the Conservative Vice Lords fighting for the life of their community," she said in a release announcing the exhibit.

Regardless of the way they spin it, the street, especially the street kids, undoubtedly will romanticize the Conservative Vice Lords and be drawn to gangs no less, and probably more, than they would have had the exhibit never been promoted.

Those who spearheaded the gang exhibit continue the Barack Obama tradition of pandering to the “they’re not criminals, they’re our children” corps in order to win the affection of the black racial identity slavemasters who reign over the 33 percent African American city of Chicago

If there ever was a place that showed Barack Obama’s mettle, it is Chicago.  He served as a community organizer there; he taught there; his political campaigns have been based there; he was state senator there from 1997 to 2004 and its U.S. senator from 2005 to 2008; he was married there; his children were born there; and he has a home there.  Obama’s buddy and former White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is Chicago's current mayor.

Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama has helped Chicago just as much as he has helped our entire country.  If he is re-elected, God save us!
