Well, it has been a very interesting week.  With the advent of the termination, excuse me, resignation of Van Jones, the stepping aside of the NEA executive due to propagandizing for Obama, the termination of the census relationship to ACORN, the Senate vote to terminate funding for ACORN for housing consulting and the videos showing how ACORN supports tax evasion, prostitution, pimping, human trafficking and underage sex workers (whew - another week like this and I won’t be able to write about it) AND a million plus showing upin Washington to protest his policies and spending actions, the Obama administration has found itself in deep difficulty.   We might ask ourselves that proverbial question: if a tree (oak of course) falls on the White House, does Obama hear it?

And what is the president’s response?  Obama-vision, all day, every day – 24 hours and weekends too!  Yes, we get another Obamathon whenever this president is in trouble.  He makes Chavez and Castro look like pikers when it comes to using the media to hide the problems he has caused himself.  Remember, the mighty oak tree grows from the little acorn, or in this case, the president’s mighty problems have grown from the crooked ACORN.  Yes, community organizing is a great business – you can teach people how to launder money, avoid taxes, take illicit deductions, get a “business loan”, open a brothel, get free legal advice and gain access to the president of the United States of America. 

The truth of the matter is that the relationships that Obama has nurtured throughout his life and his career have now come back to haunt him.  As my father always used to say, you may be a perfectly fine person, but you will be judged by those with whom you associate.  From his earliest days in Hawaii, he has associated with known communists, Marxists, the likes of Ayers and Dohrn, Reverend Wright, Tony Rezko, former Governor Rod Blagojevich, Rashid Khalidi, Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd and of course the mighty ACORN. 

Now, with the advent of their criminal activities coming to light and calls for a special investigation, we will see if his Attorney General, the ever responsible Mr. Eric Holder, will be as erstwhile in his pursuit of justice with this criminal group under the RICO act as he is about prosecuting the CIA!  Of course, if his dismissal of the Black Panther voter intimidation charges during election 2008 are any indication, we shouldn't hold our breath.  So, we ask ourselves, is this administration not only associating itself with some of the most radical elements in our society but also the most corrupt?  Will Obama begin to address the constant drumbeat of radicalism coming out of his administration and now, a corrupt and morally derelict group of community organizers like ACORN?
                                                                                 
I would suggest not, for if Obama rejects ACORN, he rejects the entirety of his persona and the narrative that has filled his resume’ to date.  No, in fact Obama has not produced the kind of people that we would normally associate with in developing his administration or his policies.  Most of us would not imagine having relationships with two or three of these people with whom he has built his adult experience.  And based on the continued support of the likes of ACORN and the unprecedented access he has provided them and the likes of the SEIU to his administration, we can only imagine the destructive impact they are having in crafting some of the legislation coming out of his administration. 

So, will this group of community organizers become the “acorn around his neck” or will he finally do the right thing and initiate the appropriate investigation into this group’s activities and criminal actions.  As long as Obama continues down the current path, the American people will reject his policies and be suspicious of his motives.  No amount of rhetoric will be able to overcome the facts and with the illegitimacy of the MSM, he will no longer have the blind eye of his propaganda machine to help him.  We need to keep the pressure on him and our legislators and make our voices heard!  Remember that other old adage from our fathers; “the acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree”.
