W.H. distances from activist group

By ALEXANDER BURNS

Days after the Census Bureau announced it would cut ties with the organizing group ACORN, and barely 24 hours after the ...

... Senate voted to withdraw funding from the lightning-rod activist group, the White House expressed support for measures to hold the group accountable for "unacceptable" behavior.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs alluded to video, taken by the conservative site BigGovernment.com, showing ACORN employees giving advice to individuals posing as sex traffickers.

"Obviously, the conduct that you see on those tapes is completely unacceptable. I think everyone would agree to that," Gibbs said. "The administration takes accountability extremely seriously."

Characterizing the Census Bureau's decision as a move based on a lack of confidence in ACORN's ability to perform its expected duties, Gibbs said he was not sure whether the president would ask Democrats to pull back from any campaign-year collaboration with the group.

"I don't know that I've had any discussion with him about that," Gibbs said.

Considering the era that produced the administration's world view, it's probably a flower power VW bus

Wasn't Obama the Socialist a leading lawyer for the group?

What's worse... Obama throwing ACORN under the bus or Bush sticking by incompetent & perhaps corrupt individuals (e.g. Attorney General Gonzalez)? Don't get me wrong... I don't know a whole lot about ACORN but what I know isn't good... but like most things in politics it goes both ways.

One of the first, most honest and impartial posts I've seen regarding ACORN.

Did you read about the judge who threw out Orly Taitz's lawsuit alleging that Obama is not a US Citizen? You should read what the judge said. Right Wingers are essentially saying and have been saying for a long time that ACORN is corrupt and prove it otherwise. So do yourself a favor and read what that judge said.
