COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS ARE 'LEADERS' TOO!

I find it distasteful that Sarah Palin has to stoop so low as to mock the work and dedication that many of our community leaders have done since time immorial.

Makes me wonder if she ever seen or read Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream"-speech?

Because if she did, she would've realized that Obama truly has more experience in dealing with the day to day affairs of the common people--than some glorified 'hockey mom' with a backwater taste for hunting bears and wolfing down overcooked moose burgers.

Simply put, community leaders are a vital part of our society. Without them, the world as we know it wouldn't function.
I just wish the Republicans would know this instead of making light of a life's work that some of us here in America believe in more than politics itself.

Because--when you get down to it--it is the people (not the party) that benefit from their leadership, wisdom, and compassion the most.

It shows that they care enough to put some effort into changing our lives for the better.

That's what makes Obama's situation all that more special. And he should be commended for his work as a community leader.

Not condemned out of sheer spite by Sarah Palin--John McCain's VP pick.
