This seems plausible, though I still see obmam (and therefore his sponsoring parties) as a pawn of some entity. Who knows, maybe it's Russia /half kidding.Anyway, of note is the 1998 article detailing the connection between the Archdiocese of Chicago's Campaign for Human Development and Mr. Saul Alinsky hisself, because, in obama, all these dots connect.

THIS IS THE SOCIALIST HOSPITAL WORKERS UNION THUG LIAR , HUSSEIN BARAKAS POLITICAL DIRECTOR, THE GOEBBELS LIKE PROPAGANDIST WHO WRITES OBAMAS SPEECHES AND IS BEHIND THE SCENES PUSHING THE NATIONALIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES MEDICAL INDUSTRY TO BENEFIT THE SEIU

Politicians and strategists praise Patrick Gaspard highly, although he stays away from the limelight.

"Patrick is the best political mind of his generation in New York and maybe the nation," says Kevin Sheekey, who as Michael Bloomberg's right-hand-man has frequently worked and battled with Gaspard.

"I wouldn't dispute that," said David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist and Gaspard's cohort on the campaign trail. When reminded that such a title could be bestowed on Axelrod himself, the strategist said he was "happy to cede that" to Gaspard.

The Washington Post, among others, has announced that a longtime labor operative of Barack Obama's, Patrick Gaspard, will be named Obama's White House political director.

Gaspard served as national political director for much of Obama's general election campaign and was named deputy director of personnel for the transition effort. Prior to his work with Obama, Gaspard was the lead political operative for the 1199 branch of the Service Employees International Union, a huge and hugely influential union representing health care workers in New York. He spent the 2004 general election as the national field director for America Coming Together.

Gaspard was featured prominently in Ryan Lizza's recent New Yorker piece detailing how Obama won. Of his job interview with the Illinois Senator, Gaspard recalled Obama saying: "I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director."

BUMP

[browniexyz]

Not just on an ACORN ticket — on ACORN money—which,ooops, happens to be federal money. Nothing to see here!

[FreeAtlanta]

ACORN Party might go down in history with infamous organizations like the Nazi Party and the Maoist Party.

Obama saying: "I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director."

No over-arching narcissism here. Just a healthy dose of self-esteem.

I guess he hires these people just to stand around and adore him.

[Vaquero]

I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors.

You mean the Radical Leftists who STARTED ACORN are running the Democrat party. Wade Rathke, Protegee of George Wiley - who was a protegee of whom? Cloward and Piven.

Its a DIRECT connection to Communists, avowed domestic Terrorists (Ayers) and the single most corrupt organization in America, ACORN.

Obama is SLIME.

He USED the poor to get into office. The “man” is a piece of excrement.

[mojito]

So diabolical that even the Clinton’s couldn’t stop it.

ACORN-WHITE HOUSE DECONSTRUCTED (found by top FR researcher maggief):

(1) ACORN's man in the Obama White House is longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard. He holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush's White House. He's the President’s fixer and the man who gets ACORN projects and money. Gaspard once worked for ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis.

(2) Patrick Gaspard’s brother Michael Gaspard works for The Advance Group. Michael Gaspard works for ACORN’s registered lobbying organization and with ACORN’s national spokesman. Michael apparently keeps a lower profile than his brother. He does not appear on lobbyist disclosures for The Advance Group NY State. Nonetheless, he works there. Ms. Lewis’s contacts list confirms Michael Gaspard’s employment there.

(3) Shaun Donovan. Mr. Donovan is HUD Secy. Before that, Mr. Donovan was NYC Commissioner of Dept of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)---where Donovan worked on affordable housing initiatives----projects right up ACORN’s alley.

(4) Karine Jean-Pierre is WH liaison for Dept of Labor (headed by latino agitator Hilda Solis). Karine once worked for John Edwards (vertical or horizontal?). She left there to work for Cong Anthony Weiner, then became Barack Obama’s regional political director.

The web of connections from Bertha Lewis straight into the White House and out the other door into HUD and the Dept of Labor (headed by latino agitator Hilda Solis), then circle back to ACORN’s lobbying operation.

Let's help the White House distance itself from ACORN

Imagine if Karl Rove had been discovered to have intimate and formal ties to some extremist right org like the John Birch Society. The press would have plastered it everywhere and constantly reminded us of it. This, however, will only be plastered over, i.e. whitewashed, by the MSM, and never even mentioned if they can get away with it.
