Someone Please Explain.......

Why do the republicans find it necessary to make light of the fact that Barack Obama worked as a community organizer in inner city Chicago after college? What is so funny about it? First Rudy Giuliani gets a laugh from the all white, all wealthy, all priveldged audience at the RNC and then Sarah Palin basically said that he did no "actual work" in that position. Then some jerk of a congressman from Georgia has the audacity to call the Obamas "uppidity". Seriously?????? After two major republican figures make fun of his work in which he helped to better the rough communities of his city......A job in which he helped people find hope in the face a desparity.....A job where he helped a struggling community find purpose to encourage their youth to get an education and better themselves and the place where they came from....You call that uppidity? Just saying that you think his work helping others was pointless makes you an uppidity elitist idoit nincompoop pinhead. But Obama is the elitist for helping the less fortunate? Hypocracy at it's finest. I take serious issue with Rudy and Sarah poking fun at his career path. It just goes to show how out of touch they are with what millions of Americans face each day - poverty, no representation, and no hope that it will ever change. I do not understand how on earth Guiliani, the former mayor of the biggest city in the nation, could make light of someone who worked to better a community. So he is telling all of the community organizers in New York that are trying in vain to keep families together, trying to keep kids off of the streets and in school, trying to help struggling citizens find decent jobs, trying to help people find a BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE, that their job is hilariously unimportant. Words cannot express my utter disbelief with these people right now.

Here are some facts:
1. While working in Chicago, Barack Obama lead the biggest movement that city had ever seen to get citizens registered to vote and involved in the democratic process - so that they could have a voice in the path of their future.
2. Barack Obama could have worked ANYWHERE he wanted for ANY amount of money after he graduated from Havard Law School. He was the first African American President of the Harvard Law Review and was wanted by people everywhere. He instead choose to move back to Chicago to continue to work for the people that he knew needed him to be their voice. He made several million dollars less taking this noble path. (Real uppidity, don't you think?)
3. He is only the 3rd African American senator to serve in Congress.

I have other very strong views about education and poverty that I will save for another blog later this week. My point today is: GET REAL, RUDY!!!!!! THANKS FOR COMPLETELY CHEAPENING THE PASSIONATE WORK OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE THAT ARE TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE LIKE BARACK OBAMA ARE THE REASON THAT PEOPLE LIKE BARACK OBAMA HAVE A CHANCE AT GREATNESS IN THIS NATION!!!!
