One of Obama's two accomplishments in this line of work was agitating for the removal of asbestos from the Altgeld Gardens public housing project on the (far) South Side of Chicago. York refers to it as Obama's "greatest hit." In the US News article "On the streets of Chicago, a candidae comes of age," reporter Kenneth Walsh attirbutes only "partial success" to Obama's asbestos removal agitation.
When the on-site manager of the apartments didn't take action to remove asbestos from the residents' apartments, Obama nudged the residents into confronting city housing officials in two angry public meetings downtown. These generated "a victory of sorts," Obama said later, as workers soon began sealing the asbestos in the buildings. However, according to Walsh, the project gradually ran out of steam and money. Walsh reports that some tenants still have asbestos in their homes. On this point Walsh cites current Altgeld resident Linda Randle, who worked with Obama on the '86 anti-asbestos campaign.

Like everything he does, shoots his loud mouth off and then cuts and runs like his drunken polygamist father did, Obama is just following his dreams of his drunk fatherHow come Obama as usual stirred up the community with his agitating and never finished the job?
If you were not insulting you could be taken seriously!
Present your information.....period.How come Obama as usual stirred up the community with his agitating and never finished the job?
When your main experience is as a community agitator...excuse me, ORGANIZER, that's how you tend to work.How come Obama as usual stirred up the community with his agitating and never finished the job?
That is the true mode of operation of a community organizer...incite action and stay the hell out of the fray when things start to happen and move on to a new purported problem before any liability claims surface.
Community organizers only start things and never finish anything.
he finished Bush's job by killing OBL, nuff said
