| "Obama was an organizer on the South Side *before* going to law school. (Or perhaps my memory is faulty.) "
It actually was after he went to law school, which shows a big commitment to helping people who are underserved. After all, as president of Harvard Law Review, he could have gone to any high paying corporate law job in the country. Instead, he chose to be a community organizer -- a low paying, low visibility job that doesn't get lots of respect from people who graduate from places like Harvard Law. |
