Written by a Chicago radio host and noted Obama supporter? Seriously?

You frequently find them in large cities with many neighborhoods, cultures, income levels and religions.
I find it far more relevant work than serving on the PTA.

It's definitely not a "bad thing" - but it's very similar to a lobbyist position, but for a non-profit. Also, they're not paid well, but if you look, Obama wasn't too far below the median national income for an individual at $15,000 in 1985.
Of course, it's considerably more relevant than PTA experience, but we all know that no one has ever run on PTA experience alone, no?
