Maybe it would be more helpful to identify what Barrack Obama did specifically and what kind of commuinty group he worked with. He was not head of the United Way, Red Cross or Habitat. So putting that out there in the context of this thread is potentially misleading.

Palin: PTA, to City Council, mayor, governor in Alaska.
Community organizer, to State Senate to US Senate in Chicago.
