A Pulitzer Unclaimed (ACORN)
The Patriot Flag I am flying today is the South Carolina State Flag. Here’s Why …
Pulitzer.org “Book entry deadline approaching
October 15, 2009 is the final deadline for entry in the 2010 Pulitzer Prize Letters competition. Books published in the U.S. from January through December, 2009 are eligible. Please note that books published in late October, November or December must be submitted by October 15 in galley or page-proof form if finished books are not available by that date. Remember, a complete entry includes four copies of the book (or galleys), an entry form, author’s photo and bio, and $50 entry fee.” For “How to Enter”, just Click Here.
Are you going to Enter? Of course I’m asking this question of the people in the press and media who tend to be tempted to risk $50 for the highest prize in literature. How could I make it any easier? Well, of course you need a subject, something that could “change the world” and you probably should be fairly literate (understanding when to use a semi colon, etc.) Most good writers understand the semi colon rule, and most have $50 to spare … so only the subject seems illusive. I can even help there.
Townhall.com Cartoon by Glenn Foden
Here’s an obvious subject: If Glenn Foden, a regularly contributing political cartoonist for Townhall can spot the connections, I’m betting there is at least one “investigative reporter” out there that might be capable of making that connection too. But the deadline is approaching and there do not seem to be any entries covering this subject, thus missing the coveted Pulitzer for 2010.
Well let me help some more … From World Net Daily
Obama in the 1990′s: ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, first noticed Obama when he was organizing on the far south side of the city with the Developing Communities Project. A March 2, 2008, Los Angeles Times article by Letta Tayler and Keith Herbert, titled “Obama Forged Path As Chicago Community Organizer,” explored Obama’s pre-law school days as a community organizer in Chicago and his efforts to build a partnership with Chicago’s “Friends of the Parks.”"Obama’s task was to help far South Side residents press for improvement,” the Times article explained.National Review Online noted, “Part of Obama’s work, it would appear, was to organize demonstrations, much in the mold of radical groups like ACORN.”The Times article reveals that Madeleine Talbot, who at the time was a leader at Chicago ACORN, was thoroughly impressed with Obama because “he got people to vote with their feet.”
1992 Project Vote As WND reported, in 1992, while he was working as a community organizer in Chicago, Obama headed the Chicago operations of Project Vote!, an ACORN effort to register voters nationally. In Chicago, Obama had his biggest impact registering African-American voters on the city’s South Side. However, Obama’s “Fight the Smears” website disputes this, saying Obama “never organized with ACORN.”
Obama also “conducted leadership-training seminars for ACORN’s up-and-coming organizers. That is, Obama was training the army of ACORN organizers who participated in Madeline Talbott’s drive against Chicago’s banks.”
And there is a whole lot more “Unearthed” at World Net Daily, this is only a small portion of the article … Read the full article here.

My Point is … The connections of this President to a proven corrupt organization are many and obvious. Making those connections should be helping some struggling “investigative” reporter out there claim his fame and place in history.

Two kids with a $1,300 budget did it! Two 20-something cub reporters have darned near brought ACORN down by themselves with their undercover videos.
“James O’Keefe and friend Hannah Giles posed as a pimp and prostitute looking to evade the IRS and apply for an illegal housing loan for a brothel. The sting operation caught four ACORN workers in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., offices appearing to offer their help.” Source Fox News (who else?)
The connection to Obama is strong, he makes the connection in his own words:
Obama said 12/01/07, “Before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we’re going to being calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We’re gonna be having meetings all over the country with community organizations so that you all have input into the agenda of the next presidency of the United States of America”
How can two “kids” pull this off a “media coup” and a “celebrity journalist like Charlie Gibson hasn’t even “heard” of the problems with ACORN:
Roma (Reporter) It has everything you could want corruption and sleazy action at tax funded organizations that’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story why?
Charlie Gibson: (laugh) I don’t even know about it. Uh, so you got me at a loss, I don’t know. Uh, uh, but, but My goodness if it’s got everything including sleaziness in it we should talk about it this morning.
Roma: This is the American way…
Charlie Gibson: Well maybe, maybe that’s one you just leave to the cables.
Any wonder we have “credibility” and “significance” problem with the Fringe Media these days? Gibson, blown away and scooped by two kids. And then there’s poor Wolf Blitzer …
- Wolf Blitzer, (the CNN Situation Room Host) on the Jeopardy game show piles up a near record LOWEST SCORE EVER on that show at MINUS 4600!. His horrendous debut into the world of real questions and answers was fairly good proof that this man is only reading what is handed to him .. and if he’s winging it, then its probably wrong! (CNN – “The Most Trusted Name in News”) Also the CNN were the folks that reported there were “more than 1000 people at the DC Rally … they got that one right!) … An Indiana University projects reports 1,798,750 estimated protesters marched in the 9-12 Project.
The Pulitzer Medal (Gold!)
The Prize is just waiting to be taken. So simple, a huge story. They are still talking about Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward (Remember “All the President’s Men?). They took down a sitting President with good investigative reporting … following the money and with far fewer “leads” than are even available to this small blogger. But alas, where’s the “professional” news media … meaning the ones who get PAID to do the little job I’m doing here?
Passing up the Pulitzer. For someone in their profession, to pass up a Pulitzer because of a belief system is fairly breathtaking. This is the opportunity of a lifetime yet they hesitate … how strong their belief in Barrack Obama must be not to reach for the Prize. And if the belief is that strong, how can we believe ANYTHING they write?
Fringe Media. There’s a conservative move afoot to stop calling “them” the “Main Stream Media” and start calling them the “Fringe Media” … this because Fox now owns about 50% of the viewers … making the “others” nothing but “fringe.” With “INSIGNIFICANCE” bearing down on them, wouldn’t you think one of them would break out of the pack and go for the Prize? Yet silence. Totally amazing, even to an amateur journalist.
