Barack Obama often refers to his days as a “community organizer” in Chicago. But what did he do there?

One area where he focused was Grove Parc in Chicago. In addition to his work as a community organizer, Obama spent four years in a law firm offering neighborhood economic development, as well as eight years as Grove Parc’s Representative in the Illinois State Senate, and his US Senate term to date.

23 years after Obama started helping the neighborhood, it’s said that “it’s not safe to live here.”

Grove Parc was Obama’s proving ground, and after all of his TLC, it remains a symbol of blight.

If he can’t change a neighborhood over a couple decades, how can he change a country in four years?
