With serious legal trouble surrounding Acorn, a group with close ties to President Obama, it seems natural for the press to have engaged the president in discussions about the left-wing organization.
But apparently that was not the case, according to this Wall Street Journal article.
Instead, the press nearly ignored the issue. And when one Sunday morning political talk show brought up Acorn, the president scuttled the importance of Acorn’s felonious behavior concerning voter fraud.
Obama’s actions might be considered politically savvy, and he might be hoodwinking a majority of Washington journalists, but he is not fooling the electorate. In fact, his actions could fuel the fire for voter reform, including requiring voters to present identification at the polls.
