Here's an excerpt from a discussion with an Obama campaign manager:
"Then the president came in, and this aide said, 'Tell him the door thing.' So he did. And the president responded, 'That's my team.'"

(11,816 posts)In my county, two of the big Obama headquarters were at Union Halls.
On my way out of canvassing, I noticed a big poster on the union's bulletin board: it said "Romney has promised four specific things he will do on Day One. Two of them are anti-union" And then it listed two specific anti-union things he had promised to do, such as repealing Davis-Bacon.
Thank God Romney won't have that opportunity

(10,597 posts)...they don't know the definition of the term. And besides, if they did, they couldn't do it.
They don't know what real work is, OR, they are allergic to it. Most of them, the upper 1% or the majority of their base, have no idea what really hard work is. I've done a little community organizing in my time in areas they call their base, and guess who did most of the work? Only a few of us. Yeah...the majority of them wanted to be on the committee, yessireee. I've never heard so many excuses in all my life. They just couldn't seem to grasp the big picture, or wouldn't. I guarantee you the 1% knows what an effective community organizer is. That's why they hate PO so much. Yeah, you are right...they are the joke in this equation. They have just proven it!
