'The Alinsky-Obama Connection' Seminar Offered

John Poreba of The Leadership Institute will present a free seminar, “The Alinsky-Obama Connection,” at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24t at the Northborough Free Library,


Saul Alinsky has gained a great deal of attention lately because of his history as a community organizer who has influenced many left-leaning leaders including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (she wrote her college thesis on the Alinsky model).


Poreba will describe Alinsky’s radical philosophy which is captured in “Rules for Radicals” – a book Alinsky dedicated to Lucifer.

Poreba will then describe how Alinsky's philosophy and tactics heavily influenced President Barack Obama's thinking, communications, and political strategy, which was attested to by son L. David Alinsky, in a letter to the Boston Globe suggesting that “Obama learned his lesson
well.”


The event is sponsored by the Northborough Tea Party. Admission is free and open to the general public.
