Camp Obama is back and it's "ruthless"

Not to be confused with the Upper Midwest camp portrayed in Bill Murray's Meatballs, Camp Obama was back in session over the Labor Day weekend.

And the Chicago Sun-Times reports that ruthlessness is one of the cafeteria offerings at the camp:

The next tip is to be absolutely ruthless, We want you to be determined, ambitious, take a risk.

The campers bowed down the altar of far-Left radical community activist Saul Alinsky. While a community organizer on Chicago's South Side in the 1980s, Obama worked for a couple of Alinsky disciples.

Obama's political rival Hillary Clinton wrote her Wellesley College thesis on Alinksy, who like HRC herself, was born in Chicago.

Summer camp employees have to be screened before getting hired--which is essential for the safety of the children. The stakes at Camp Obama aren't as high, which explains how Robert B. Creamer, husband of my left-of-left congresscritter Jan Schakowsky, was able to work as a trainer at a previous Camp Obama. As far as I know, Creamer is now "pursing other opportunities."

A self-appointed consumer advocate and occasional campaign worker, Creamer has a five month gap in his résumé, time spent last year at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana for crimes associated with check-kiting scam while leading the Illinois Public Action Council.

Although not accused of any crimes, Rep. Schakowsky was on the board of directors of the IPAC while hubby as using his creative financing techniques.

The next Camp Obama pitches its tent in Chicago on September 12. If you are attending, brush up on your Saul Alinsky.
