So is OP really denying that OFA has anything to do with these protests? Organizing For Action (OFA) has a stated purpose per the website to train protesters. For example:
From the OFA entry on Wikipedia:
Oh and this:
So, you pay $500k you get access to Obama.
The organization was created as a 501(c)(4) so that they don't have to reveal the names of the donors. However, in the past they have voluntarily released some names of donors, but I cannot find a recent list online (I can only find lists from 2013 and 2014).
In any case, I rate Trump's tweet as mostly true. Obama's OFA is definitely part of these protests, there's not much doubt about it.
quote:
The 5 million Americans who’ve taken action with OFA are part of a long line of people who stand up and take on the big fights for social justice, basic fairness, equal rights, and expanding opportunity.
quote:
Organizing for Action is training the next generation of progressive organizers as they work on important issues across the country. OFA's hands-on fellowship and training programs provide the skills and tools necessary to empower grassroots organizers to make a difference in their communities.
From the OFA entry on Wikipedia:
quote:
Chairman Jim Messina (Obama's 2012 campaign manager)[8] and First Lady Michelle Obama announced the formation of OFA on January 18, 2013. White House official Jon Carson left the Obama administration to become the executive director. Campaign senior adviser David Axelrod serves as a consultant.[9]
Organizing for Action succeeds Organizing for America, which was formed under similar circumstances but operated under the control of the Democratic National Committee.[10] In preparation for President Obama's second term, Organizing for America was relaunched as a nonprofit group in order to mobilize support behind the president's legislative and political agenda.[5]
Oh and this:
quote:
In February 2013, the New York Times reported that donors contributing or raising $500,000 or more to Organizing for Action would put them on the group's national advisory board, granting the privilege of attending quarterly update meetings given by the president.
So, you pay $500k you get access to Obama.

Man oh man, why in the world would he say that?
Next he'll be claiming Obama interfered with the DNC to get Tom Perez elected DNC Chairman.

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency
By Paul Sperry
February 11, 2017
In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.
He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.
........
Obama is intimately involved in OFA operations and even tweets from the group’s account. In fact, he gave marching orders to OFA foot soldiers following Trump’s upset victory.
........
Run by old Obama aides and campaign workers, federal tax records show “nonpartisan” OFA marshals 32,525 volunteers nationwide. Registered as a 501(c)(4), it doesn’t have to disclose its donors, but they’ve been generous. OFA has raised more than $40 million in contributions and grants since evolving from Obama’s campaign organization Obama for America in 2013.
OFA, in IRS filings, says it trains young activists to develop “organizing skills.” Armed with Obama’s 2012 campaign database, OFA plans to get out the vote for Democratic candidates it’s grooming to win back Congress and erect a wall of resistance to Trump at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
It will be aided in that effort by the Obama Foundation, run by Obama’s former political director, and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, launched last month by Obama pal Eric Holder to end what he and Obama call GOP “gerrymandering” of congressional districts.
Obama will be overseeing it all from a shadow White House located within two miles of Trump.
.........
Critical to the fight is rebuilding the ravaged Democratic Party. Obama hopes to install his former civil rights chief Tom Perez at the helm of the Democratic National Committee.

What actions have you taken to help these people other than lashing out here?
Skip a vacation? Put off buying a new vehicle? Downsize your house? Give that extra money to those you worry about?

Obama-linked activists have a ‘training manual’ for protesting Trump
By Paul Sperry
February 18, 2017
An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.
Organizing for Action, a group founded by former President Barack Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations and building a border wall.
In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”
The protesters disrupted town halls earlier this month, including one held in Utah by House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who was confronted by hundreds of angry demonstrators claiming to be his constituents.
The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers.”
....
“Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized opposition,” the document states, “because these actions create the impression that they’re not connected to their district and not listening to their constituents.”

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was the target of similar protest efforts while on a diplomatic visit to Mexico. Although on foreign soil, that protest was organized by Democrats Abroad Mexico — an official arm of the Democratic party.

But it isn't unbelievable. The Obama Administration spent billions in Mexico advertising free welfare in the US, as well as "community organizing" millions of illegals to come here.
It was only a matter of time before this was the defense of the left: "What you are seeing isn't real".

That fact is what renders the OP either ignorant or completely bizarre.

Obama is without a doubt involved. He didn't just finish vacation.
He finished a tour with most of the liberal money barons to finance his coming social unrest campaign.
I called this three weeks ago and yall DV'd the heck out of me.
It's coming boys.

Now he's trying to figure out how to backtrack after looking like a stupid idiot who didn't even know OFA and the Kenyan were organizing the protests.

We already know who they are and what they do. Anything the dems/libs/communist/progressves do is manufactured, whether through the media or through these organizations. They are of their father and they come to steal, kill and destroy. It's not hard to see. MAGA
