Obama hires lawyer to “erase tracks” between himself and ACORN

  In my last post, I wrote about the resignation of Greg Craig from White House counsel. He became the fall guy for Obama’s failure to close GITMO as promised but there could be even more to the story of his resignation. That story lies in the man Barack Obama chose to replace Craig.

  Greg Craig was almost immediately replaced by Bob Bauer, a lawyer who has defended Barack Obama’s association with ACORN in the past. According to Representative Steve King, Bob Bauer could have been put in place to begin “erasing the tracks” between Obama and the corrupt organization that he loves so much.

Bob Bauer has a public record of defending Barack Obama’s relationship with ACORN, the congressman told supporters. “Bauer’s hiring appears to be a tactical maneuver to strategically defend the White House exactly one week after Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell raided ACORN’s national headquarters in New Orleans and seized paper records and computer hard drives that may lead to the White House

  One week after ACORN was raided Barack Obama replaced his counsel with a man who has much more knowledge of Obama’s relationship with ACORN. This is certainly and interesting turn of events. A little too coincidental for me, and obviously for Representative King as well.

  Barack Obama seems to be preparing himself for whatever is in the documents that were seized last week. Either he knows what is in those documents and he is “lawyering up” or he doesn’t know what is in the documents but he knows what could be in those documents and he is “lawyering up.”  Either way, he appears to be getting ready because he knows about ACORN’s shady past and he was part of it. It makes no difference if there is no incriminating evidence in these papers, Barack Obama’s actions indicate to us that he knows what ACORN was up to and that he was part of it.

  It may turn out that there is nothing in those documents that would harm the president but he certainly must be worried. There has to be some documents in some ACORN office that has the president nervous enough to bring in a man with knowledge of Obama’s dealings with ACORN in the past.

  Here is what Barack Obama had to say about Bob Bauer:

Bob has served as a trusted counselor for many years to many elected officials and is known  as a tough and  widely respected advocate

  In other words, he has plenty of experience defending corrupt politicians. Barack Obama may need him. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is already investigating Barack Obama’s illegal firing of Gerald Walpin for exposing corruption in another of the president’s favorite organizations, AmeriCorps and now this.

  It is becoming more evident that the Chicago style of corruption and thug politics has indeed infiltrated the White House.
