The spotlight of scrutiny is shining brightly on ACORN these days and rightly so. Where ACORN’s defenders have the audacity to insist that the employees caught on undercover videotape giving advice to a perceived “pimp” and “prostitute” on how to defraud the Internal Revenue Service and internationally traffic in underage Guatemalan prostitutes were simply “a few bad employees,” anyone with a brain recognizes that the problem is systemic in the organization. But what some are misdiagnosing or not completely understanding is how President Obama could be so nonchalant about the issue in recent interviews. It’s because ACORN – for Mr. Obama – has served its purpose and just like Van Jones, Tom Daschle and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, ACORN is about to be tossed under the bus.
In past articles and in many radio interviews, I have insisted that Barack Obama is just another Chicago machine politician, albeit a very successful one (If you don’t understand the phrase “Chicago machine” read the book Boss by legendary Chicago journalist Mike Royko). And like every good Chicago machine politician, Barack Obama is following the cardinal rules:
▪ Do what you have to in order to get elected. ▪ Once elected, consolidate as much power as you possibly can. ▪ Reward those who helped you get elected. ▪ Position yourself for re-election and your retention of power.
In each of the steps Barack Obama has performed so far he has done so in a most exemplary fashion.

No problem. ACORN will morph into other organizations to do Barry’s dirty work.
I fear you are correct!!We must be EVER vigilant!!!
ya but Obamer butter hide his lefty ways and friends and move toward center or his legacy is shat...first b prez is a big jimmy carter flop
Yes.
THIS, like all other stories will fade in the press (who has already pretty much ignored it) and in America’s short lived memory. By the time the elections roll around, ACORN will be out in full force, once again registering dead folks and others will be scratching their heads trying to remember some past controversy involving ACORN.
Heck, not only will funding to ACORN NOT be denied, funding will be tripled! ACORN is, afterall, helping the DEMS. Why in the world would the Dems cut off funding?
What did Bill call him?”A Typical Chicago,Thug Politician”??I knew(if I waited long enough)he and I could agree on something!!
That will cost him the black vote.
It is getting crowded under there. Rev Wright, his church of 20 years, Bill Ayers, Hillary, Jimmy Carter, has anyone seen Jessie Jackson lately, how about Rev Al, the NY Gov whatever his name is, I could go on and on.
Why? Because that is what presidents do to stay in power and keep the office untarnished.
The big question with this Obama guy has been whether or not he had the guts to fire bad actors in his regime.
So far he hasn't done all that bad but he keeps hiring new ones just like the old ones (which simply proves over and over how stupid he is).
Rest assured he's busy building bridges with another organization to replace ACORN and they're just as bad ~ although I'm having difficulty imaginging any such group other than the Mafia.
As for minorities, they are already upset with Zero. He is not paying their mortgages, nor paying their bills. Unemployment is going up for them and they think he is sitting on the Stimulus package for himself and his freinds.
Don’t forget that in addiiton, Bill was recorded telling his mistress that the Cuomos were mafia.
Bill does know the political landscape when it comes to democrats.
Didn’t he throw the United States under the bus at the UN?
He already has what he wants therefore they are more expendable. He can find others to carry on his corruption.
No, ACORN is now radioactive.
The fun part will be watching these low-level clowns turn dime on some of the people they’ve helped elect.
The new organization will be called something like Community Organizing Credit Kinsmen, Solicitation Unity Corps Kindred Equality of Race Symbiotes.
The Acorn shell will be discarded and a compltetely new organization will be put quickly in place to receive the 8.6 billion dollars Congress has slated for them.They need to be operative by Janusary 2010, to get ready to cheat and traduce the November elections.
Individuals need to be prosecuted and sent away for a few years.
That will cost him the black vote.
+++++++++++++++
Probly (sic) not...
He’s gonna need a NEW bus. There’s no more room under the old one.
Ever see a bus get a flat tire (Blowout) from an acorn thrown under the bus? Hang in there, you’re about to witness it.
I agree. He can’t afford to lose his backers.
Besides he has too much invested in ACORN.
Snakes by any other names are still snakes.
“Do you remember all that talk by Mr. Obama about a civilian national security force?”
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/b/barackobam409184.html
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military
in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. “
“Barack Obama”
I heard Obama say that (tv) about 2-4 wks ago!!!! and let me tell you, the RED FLAGS went up!!!
