PavelObama comes from the Saul Alinsky school of organizing. Alinsky worked with the stockyard workers in Chicago in I think the 1930's or 1940's. His model is one that believes that change is defined and comes from inside the community. Many grassroots movements in the United States in the 60's and 70's, especially the anti-nuclear movement were modeled after his experiences. Clinton also studied Alinsky but unlike Obama who was an Alinsky style organizer Clinton believed that you could change the system from within its bowels. Obama follows the Alinsky model and allows the community itself to form the agenda and provide the expertise. Pat Black
