Obama's Transition Team Chairman, Podesta, is on ACORN's 8 member advisory board

Two of the individuals on ACORN’s eight-member advisory board include John Podesta (the chairman of President Obama’s transition team after the election) and Andrew Stern, the president of SEIU who is intimately involved with the White House on numerous issues, including the health care plan. Some Democratic elected and appointed officials also have close ties with ACORN.

This just gets filthier and filthier.

Somebody needs to get Podesta in front of a camera and see if he will defends their current and past disturbing behaviors or turns on ACORN.

We also need the NAMES of those elected and appointed officials that have close ties with ACORN according to this article.

I would guess the 75 that voted in ACORN's favor yesterday is the starting point of the list.

“I would guess the 75 that voted in ACORN’s favor yesterday is the starting point of the list.”

Almost everyone of those 75 come from the worst inner-city hell-holes in America. Without ACORN, and ACORN-related Orgs, most of those 75 have a good chance at being defeated in 2010.

America’s Inner-city’s may just have a chance if ACORN can be destroyed..

Lets not forget that Podesta is also one of those who is choosing the independent investigator of ACORN.

Regarding the author of this Politico story, this appears at the bottom:

Ken Blackwell is a former undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Hmmm, wonder if he knows where a few proverbial bodies are buried???

There was a story just the other day about an SEIU official busted for child pornography.

Like I tell my kids, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future!”

Look at Obama’s friends!

Unless I’m mistaken, Blackwell is the former Ohio SOS who went after ACORN vote fraud and became a candidate for GOP chairmanship. (A much better choice than Steele BTW)

No connection to Obama they say. Obama was the ACORN lawyer for crying out loud.

You are correct...he was also involved in trying to bring Anita Moncrief into the limelight;

http://anitamoncrief.blogspot.com/search?q=

She was ready to testify that the SOS, Brunner, was sharing information with Karyn Gillette, who was her boss at Project Vote, an ACORN front, and getting the Obama donor lists DIRECTLY from Obama...a REAL felony...but they creamed Anita and I can’t for the life of me understand why they can’t get her back into the limelight. I saw Blackwell recently discussing it on a talk show. With all the ACORN stuff going on, I think it would be an opportunity to revist this only verifiable connection directly between Obama and ACORN;

COVER UP

I think the new battle cry regarding ACORN needs to be “cover up”. Just start calling it the ACORN Cover up scandal. Watergate really exploded into a national story when it became connected in American’s minds with people of power in high places not only committing a crime, but doing whatever it takes to conceal it, adding the crimes of the coverup to the original crime itself.

Glenn Beck mentioned this the other evening and it is true. And it IS a coverup of epic proportions. If enough people are talking about this around the water cooler at the office and it becomes connected with the thought of corruption and that the “old media” are part of the coverup, people are going to start tuning into FOX and internet media at an even greater rate. CNN and the rest of the “old” media will be forced to either cover the story fairly or be once and for all delegated to the dustbin of journalism where they belong.

Podesta? Good Lord, how deep do the roots of this mess go?”

All the way back to Jimmah Carter—the President who gave us the original version of CRA..which led to loans to people who had no job- no job history- and their welfare money and food stamps counted as income & no credit history.

I am convinced that Bill O’Reilly is going into a meltdown.

Somehow, Bill has been deflected by NObama, and when the flood of info comes, the information will lead to Bill melting down like the witch in the Wizard of Oz.
