Was Michelle's speech inspired by Saul Alinsky?

Michelle Obama used an interesting phrase at least twice in her speech last night. She referred to 'The world as it is' and 'The world as it should be'" and attributed the phrase to her husband. But was it inspired by the radical leftist, Saul Alinsky?

...a blogger is pointing out that the statements appear to have been drawn from "Rules for Radicals," a book by dedicated socialist Saul Alinsky.

"What to make of Michelle Obama's use [of] the terms, 'The world as it is' and 'The world as it should be?'" wrote the Gateway Pundit today. "Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinksy's book, 'Rules for Radicals.'"

"In last night's speech, Michelle Obama said something that [piqued] my curiosity," the blogger noted. "She said, 'Barack stood up that day,' talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, 'and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about 'The world as it is' and 'The world as it should be…'"

"And, 'All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be," the blogger wrote.

Chapter 2 of Alinsky's book says: "The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves…The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be."

Taking up pursuit of the slogans, another blogger, at Riehlworldview, noted she probably got the phrases from her husband, since he was hired by Jerry Kellman at one point early in his career. Kellman was an Alinsky protégé, the blogger said.

"After college Obama moved to Chicago to be part of the Jerry Kellman organization as a community organizer. … Among the primary goals of Alinsky was radical socialism and redistribution of wealth. Alinsky taught his proteges to 'HIDE' their true goals by any means necessary. Lying was fine. The objective of Alinsky and Kellman was to turn people against the white establishment," the blogger said.

Thank goodness the new media, the relevant media, is exposing the Obama's and their associates for what they are...radical leftists.
