It was information I collected sometime ago. I should have verified it given all the junk on the internet these days, but I did not. My apology. It was never my attempt to pull a fast one on any poster and I do deserve to be criticized for my failure to verify. However a few posters went a bit too far in their direct attacks on my character.
Having said that the 8 steps listed still merit consideration because every last step was applied by Obama and they all are intended to create a social state and controlled by the federal government. Can one say that Obama extrapolated his applications in part from his studies of Alinsky? Don't know? But it does give one pause since both were community organizers
It is difficult to discuss a public figure especially one that is very controversial because emotions run high. Saint or sinner is left in the eye of the beholder.
Lessons in life tend to be painful or at least uncomfortable . Hopefully this lesson will stick with me. Again my apology.

You should be applauded for showing character in owning up to an error.
I really think the poster who referenced Snopes now needs to step up and post the author notes after dispelling these, and speaks to the "power tactics" Alinsky proposed. They speak well to the discussion, but I will leave it to that poster to share them, as that would be the right thing to do.
