A few days ago I was reading over some of the Obama articles that have appeared over the past few years and that never made the light of day in the MSM (Main Stream Media) and one sentence part struck me with all the bad news coming from the WH with no glimmer of anything positive (which almost universally has been called out as a reason the market is just nose diving) and then today he threw us a small pep talk.

Back before he had the candidacy, Ryan Lizza who has written much on Presiddent Obama for New Yorker magazine and will be putting out a book on the first year of his presidency, wrote an extended article on President Obama and he intereviewed many of his past co workers, etc.

One of the folks he interviewed was Mike Kruglik...a fellow organizer who has and does still support the President and was one of his top organizers during the campaign.

Mr. Kruglik talked about President Obama as an organizer and how good he was at it. He mentions all the good things that President Obama did and that he was a strong believer in Alinsky's methods of "agitation".

He described how Obama how handled groups and one of the sentences just jumped out at me because of the last 6 weeks and what the WH (White House) has been preaching.....this is the quote....

"With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better"

It gave me, maybe not you, but me..chills.

Here is the link to the article written in 2007 and will tell you that much of it is complimentary...it is not a hatchet job.
