Spent 8 years as a Director on the Joyce Foundation board.
Why is this important? Given his comparatively short career this is a huge chunk of time. More importantly, the Joyce Foundation attempted to sway the Supreme Court’s views on the 2nd Amendment.
During Obama’s tenure, the Joyce Foundation board planned and implemented a program targeting the Supreme Court. The work began five years into Obama’s directorship, when the Foundation had experience in turning its millions into anti-gun “grassroots” organizations, but none at converting cash into legal scholarship.
The plan’s objective was bold: the judicial obliteration of the Second Amendment.
It is important to note that this is not hyperbole or exaggeration. The community organizer that would be president has already been part of a well formed, organized movement to do away with the 2nd Amendment. It is no stretch to believe that Barack Obama would appoint Supreme Court justices sympathetic to the same cause.
Having lost that fight, Obama now claims he always held the individual rights view of the Second Amendment, and that he [19] “respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms.” But as a Joyce director, Obama was involved in a wealthy foundation’s attempt to manipulate the Supreme Court, buy legal scholarship, and obliterate the individual right to arms.
So he’s actively pursued one course of action but denies it now. He says that he’s always supported the 2nd Amendment but attempted to sway the opinion of the Court to exactly the opposite. What’s that word that liberals like to use so much? Oh yeah - liar.

This is just ANOTHER thing the average American does not know about the Obamamessiah. Thanks for posting this–I’m going to check out the Joyce Foundation for more info. I read somewhere that “community organizer” is the new code word for “radical.” We lose our right to bear arms, we are surely doomed. Hang on to your hats, folks, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
