This is asking a lot from a corrupt administration where the leader is ACORN and ACORN is the leader !

That's perfect in a way. If Obama has no direct connection to ACORN's misdeeds than he can only be criticized for it but if he attempts in any way to cover up, or has already acted to cover up, some link then he will be destroyed by it. That is, as we have been told, the lesson of Watergate..."the cover up of an association is worse than the crime committed by the associate."

The worst part of all this is Obama’s connection. The second worst is that consigliere Holder has not inititated a federal investigation after all of the breaking scandals the last four months.

Exactly. It may seem hopeless... If it is exposed over and over even when the MSM do not cover it. The WH has to answer to it.

Point and case: Will Gibbs be asked about ACORN or their new name Community Organizations International?

They can only shove this under the rug so long.

Yes, that is what I mean. At the FBI website none of that is searchable.

you say: “Even an a-hole like Stewart gets it right once in a while.”

even Stewart has had some eye-openers. Remember how shocked he was at obambi wanting to make our wounded troops pay for their own care?

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-march-17-2009/that-can-t-be-right-—veterans—health-insurance

He said:
“STEWART: You know the veterans? The men and women who risk their lives defending our country? They’re about yay tall, wear green… sometimes tan. They’re this brave. Well, when they get injured, you know who foots the bill? You. The taxpayer. It’s incredibly… fair.

That’s why it struck me as a little odd when I read that one of the money saving proposals from the Obama administration was to remove veterans with private insurance plans from the V.A. rolls. So I guess what the government is saying is that if you still need a little rehab after you got that leg blown off in Iraq, the government will cover you! Unless your wife as a little COBRA left over from her substitute teaching gig. In that case, you’re going to have to go with her and the whole deductible thing. Unless, of course, your spouse is in Congress, and then you can get their sweet, sweet government plan.
...
WHAT THE F*&K ARE YOU GUYS THINKING!!??? Veterans having to use their private insurance to pay for their combat related injuries? THAT CAN’T BE RIGHT.”

If Obama has no direct connection to ACORN's misdeeds

He taught 'em how to operate and he was their lawyer who forced the banks to give sub-prime loans to people with no credit check and no proof of income - that undermined our economy, putting us where we are now. And he promised them a seat at the desk in the oval office - to help shape policy.

I think a, if not THE, strategy should be is to put pressure on Holder, big time. Put the stink on him. He either does something or has to step down - those would be the choices, he would have to take it or leave it. If he and his office keeps shirking away or does some half-assed swat at it, then what is he there for - you would have to assume that he is therefore compromised and abetting the activity and must leave, GET OUT.

Great start, but he had better add “and subsidiaries and spin offs” if we have any hope of killing this evil gorgon.

The Bamster is an ACORN spinoff. Can we get rid of him too?

Quite the situation. Holder reports to Obama, Obama was ACORN’s attorney. They are not just in a conflict of interest, they are entangled in the mess.

This stench most assuredly goes outside the borders - there has got to be an international connection to all the localized criminal activity. When the issue of bringing in foreign nationals for prostitution would be brought up, nobody ever even blinked, they acted like it was a matter of course, just another procedure - another day, another dollar.

I ran across some Wade Rathke posting about a particular worldwide event, check his ridiculous web site.
