Barack Obama learned how to put Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals in practice. It is one thing to study Marxism, but quite another to organize an urban revolution and fight Capitalism from within. Obama also learned that the Black community is religious and to meet them the best place is the Church. Obama found it easy to put on the mantle of a Christian for brief periods to gain community support. He also learned how to handle the Police.
