Rep Power: 14 | | | Obama, the community organizer
Republicans made fun of Obama's experience as a community organizer when he graduated from Harvard Law. Now Obama has organized an internet fund raising machine that is going to crush them.

Rep Power: 14 | | | Being on the business end of Obama's fund raising effort, I can say they are pretty persistent.
