“new DNC executive director will be Patrick Gaspard”

A notorious ACORN thug/criminal is now head of the DNC.

One time, several years ago, the company from which I have retired held a "Teamwork Retreat". There were various and sundry "teamwork" exercises and confidence building exercises that we all had to do, but perhaps the most telling - and the most applicable in handling this SEIU ACORN business was the "water fill" exercise.

We were at a resort, with a lake...the set up a 55-gallon drum next to the shoreline on the "beach", and gave all six of us a plastic bucket.

Our job was to fill up the drum from the water in the lake, using the plastic buckets.

The catch was, the 55-gallon drum was filled with large holes...holes that were about 1 inch square.

So, we started...two were dipping water and the other four were wrapping themselves around the drum, trying to stop up the holes.

It was futile, and in the end the only thing that worked was dipping and filling so fast that the water was going in the drum faster than it was coming out...and we filled it to the brim.

Now I said all that to say this - ACORN and the SEIU and any of the other obama mob squads can do what they want, but as long as we turn out to vote in large enough numbers, all the "holes" they make in the process won't make any difference.

We vastly outnumber the libs, the trick is to motivate enough people to turn out that any cheating they do will have no effect on the outcome of the race.

IF obama manages to cheat his way back into office for another four years, America is doomed. I hate to say that this "long-legged mack daddy" is going to do what powerful countries and regimes have failed to do, but he's doing it.

I'd like to see a movement started of carrying small (symbolic) plastic pails around as a signal to anyone who looks that the owner of it intends to carry their share of water in the 2012 Conservative "bucket brigade".

Volume overcomes deceit...put it on your "bucket list".

The great election heist of 2012 is well on it’s way.

So will anyone be watching their every move?

Some more links to articles about Patrick Gaspard. I'm wondering if this man had anything to do with that SEIU march against Walmart last week.

Oh dear God does he ever stop? We have a thug in chief and no one peeps a word and the media protect him.

The media and DNC want a split with the tea party and GOP SO BAD so they can win. I pray the primaries do not split us for an Obama win.

President Obama's aide Gaspard failed to disclose $40K payout from SEIU

President Barack Obama’s political director failed to disclose that he was slated to receive a nearly $40,000 payout from a large labor union while he was working in the White House.

Patrick Gaspard, who served as the political director for the Service Employees International Union local 1199, received $37,071.46 in “carried over leave and vacation” from the union in 2009, but he did not disclose the agreement to receive the payment on his financial disclosure forms filed with the White House.

In a section on his financial disclosure where agreements or arrangements for payment by a former employer must be disclosed, Gaspard checked a box indicating that he had nothing to report. Bill Burton, a White House spokesman, told POLITICO Monday that Gaspard was in the process of correcting his disclosure form to reflect that he did in fact have an agreement for severance.

“We have made the small administrative change to this year's and last year's forms to indicate that part of the final payment to Patrick reflected their typical severance of one week of pay for each of his nine years of service at Local 1199 of SEIU,” Burton wrote POLITICO in an e-mailed statement.

Such financial disclosures are governed by federal law, but Stan Brand, a former House general counsel and ethics expert, said the Justice Department is unlikely to pursue an investigation unless they suspected a “knowing or willful” intent to deceive.

Gaspard’s omission is a potentially embarrassing episode for the Obama administration, which has made a high priority of ethics. “They’ve made ethics a fetish and they have all kinds of people over there with experience, so I don’t know how they missed this one,” Brand said. Gaspard spent nine years at 1199 SEIU, a major labor union in New York.

Gaspard also worked for Obama’s campaign, and later worked for the transition team, where he earned $11,500, according to the financial disclosure form he filed this year. He was pulling a salary from SEIU until Jan. 16, 2009, shortly before Obama was inaugurated.

Gaspard, who made $172,200 in 2009, has from $35,000 to $80,000 in credit card debt and student loans, according to his financial disclosures. This SEIU payout was first raised in early June by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the top GOP lawmaker on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He sent a letter to the White House asking for information about the payment. They have yet to respond
