Barack Obama Led OccupyChicago - Circa 1988

Just twenty or so years ago, Barack Obama wouldn’t just have supported
the Occupy protests.
He would have organized them.
From Stanley Kurtz’s essential Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the
Untold Story of American Socialism, pp. 117-8:
In fact, Obama personally helped plan one of UNO’s most
confrontational actions of the eighties [in 1988]: a break-in meant to
intimidate a coalition of local business and neighborhood leaders into
dropping a landfill expansion deal.
We know of Obama’s involvement in this demonstration only because his
supporters in 2008 felt it necessary to rebut charges that, contrary
to his claims of inter-racial healing, he had organized exclusively
with blacks. Only then did Obama’s former colleagues from UNO [United
Neighborhood Organization, a largely Mexican group] of Chicago reveal
that he had helped to plan and lead this multi-ethnic demonstration
against landfill expansion on Chicago’s South Side.
…Shouting “No deals!” somewhere between eighty and a hundred UNO-DCP
[Developing Communities Project, a black group organized by Obama]
marched to a local bank. There they broke into a meeting being
conducted by the bank president and local community leaders. The group
was exploring the possibility of a deal with Waste Management. The
protestors, presumably including Obama, surrounded the meeting table
while [Mary-Ellen] Montes [of UNO] told the negotiators, “We will
fight you every step of the way.”
Obama was also likely involved with other aggressive UNO protests,
including protests for school reform, through which he likely met
former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Ayers is involved in
the Occupy protests today.
In the 1990s, Obama maintained his ties to radical activists, and
“channel[ed] foundation funding to his confrontational Alinskyite
colleagues.”
It’s clear that Obama’s ties to the Occupy movement–its forbears, its
tactics, and some of its current luminaries–run deep.
This is what “community organizing” looks like.
