Obama's "Karl Rove" is ACORN's Guy in The White House

Obama's "Karl Rove" is ACORN's Guy in The White House

Patrick Gaspard is President Obama's White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush's White House. Before he was in the White House, Gaspard served as the acting political director for SEIU International during the national union’s successful effort to help Democrats capture majorities in the House and Senate, and according to ACORN founder Wade Rathke, Gaspard was also hired by SEIU's sister organization ACORN.

According to Redstate Patrick Gaspard was the Executive Vice President for the SEIU until Barack Obama asked Gaspard to become his Presidential Campaign’s National Political Director. Once in the White House, Gaspard became Barack Obama’s Director of the Office of Political Affairs. He is Barack Obama’s Karl Rove, but unlike Rove, eschews the spotlight, which is why so many compare David Axelrod to Rove.

Mr. Gaspard’s official responsibility is to provide the president with an accurate assessment of the political dynamics affecting the work of his administration, and to remain in close contact with power brokers around the country to help push the president’s agenda.

In practice, he’s something of an all-purpose fixer, if not the carte blanche policy architect that Mr. Rove was for George W. Bush, or the number-one politics guru that David Axelrod is for Mr. Obama. And while he looks after the president’s interests in Washington, he also uses his position as a lever to manage politically messy situations closer to home.....

Maybe the quiet political director likes to be low key because he is ACORN's Guy in the White House:

Apparently Obama’s “Rove” is dumber than a box of really stupid rocks.

O’bozo just has SEIU and ACORN rubbed all over his body and just can’t quite get the stench washed off.

Apparently Rove forgot to tell obozo about all the money ACRIME was getting?

But- can we make a connection between Gaspard and the SDS, or any other socialist or communist organization?
