Jerry,

Sorry, this won't fly: Going over the transcript, I didn't see her attacking Obama as a community organizer, but defending herself against prior criticism about her lack of experience, comparing her own CEO experience more favorably to Obama's work.

"Actually have responsibilities!" is pretty clear English. Jerry, you're a master of tone and implication everywhere else. And in the actual delivery, she fairly dripped with scornfulness. And though perhaps she shouldn't be held responsible for the boorishness of the crowd (though she did whip them into a lather), her audience was already roaring at the word "community."

Best,
Slipp
