ACORN tentacles spread throughout White House staff

Over the past 2 months as Americans have turned against the proposed government takeover of healthcare and other initiatives of the Obama administration, it has also come to light that the President and his operatives have loaded up the White House staff with individuals who have ties to ACORN and big labor.

One of the latest to come to light is Valerie Jarrett's staff member Buffy Wicks.

Jarrett, of course, is the top senior adviser to Barack Obama who has been with him since the beginning in Illinois and is described by the President himself as a close, personal family friend who is 'like a sister to me.'  She is also the one who recommended Vann Jones for the job of 'green jobs czar.'

As a staff assistant to Jarrett, Buffy Wicks' position is 'Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.'  In other words, she is a community organizer whose employment history involves working with ACORN and labor unions to promote and implement a Leftist agenda on U.S. business, particularly targeting corporations like Wal-Mart:

What the Obama Administration’s Buffy Wicks did with Wakeup, and it continues to do with an apparent partnership with ACORN, is to engage in a “corporate campaign” against Wal-Mart in an attempt to inflict as much financial stress on its target as possible.  For an insiders view of what it is like to be a target of a corporate campaign a good read is Dave Bego’s book, The Devil at My Doorstep, a chronicle of the shameless three-year corporate campaign he and his employees endured.

These corporate campaigns are not about worker choice, they are about inflicting financial costs and public image damages to companies like Bego’s and Wal-Mart. 

Essentially, this means that Buffy Wicks was a professional troublemaker hired by Big Labor to work hand-in-hand with ACORN in an effort to inflict pain to bring one of the nation’s largest employers to its knees.  So far, the efforts by Wicks and ACORN have only served to reduce Wal-Mart’s ability to hire new people and lower prices for its customers. 

Now, ACORN collaborator Wicks is inside the Obama White House as it oversees record unemployment.  If the White House continues to place Big Labor staffers like Wicks who worked for organizations hostile to worker freedom throughout its Administration, then the Obama Administration will likely become the antithesis to job growth and the primary obstacle to any future U.S. economic recovery.

The entire article on Buffy Wicks, ACORN, the labor unions, and their under-the-radar-screen attacks on successful private enterprise can be found at BigGovernment.com. 

Thus, the problem with the Obama White House goes far beyond the extremist 'czars' he has appointed to high-profile positions.  Here we have a deputy director of a White House office who is quietly engaged in a direct assault on American free markets, capitalism, and successful private enterprise.

Once again, the question arises as to why Barack Obama has surrounded himself with the most hostile individuals in the country to everything that made America great.  Why are there czars and lower-level operatives in the White House who have targeted private enterprise for a take-down?  Why are all of these people somehow tied to ACORN, which is now under the gun as one of the most corrupt, if not THE most corrupt organization in America?

These questions demand clear, truthful answers.  Yet no one is investigating this Trojan horse operation of the Obama administration with the exception of Glenn Beck.  This screams for a high multi-level, multi-departmental investigation of not only ACORN but the Obama White House.

But who in THIS administration is going to conduct such a serious investigation, except for show purposes?  Eric Holder?  Don't make me bend double with laughter.  Holder's Justice Department had rather attempt to bring down the CIA with unnecessary and pointless investigations.

And, my friends, you can bet your your last dropping from the ACORN tree that we aren't going to get any such serious investigation until the voters clean house in Congress in 2010.  Only a thorough house-cleaning, a replacement-blitz with new, fresh, and honest blood in Congress will result in any longterm change.
