Buzz word of the day.
Probably Buzz word of the week.
Acorn's website is here. BARACK OBAMA HAS NEVER WORKED FOR ACORN OR WITH ACORN. He worked for "Project Vote" out of law school, which was NOT affiliated with Acorn.

Obama DID represent ACORN in a lawsuit against the State of Illinois, ALONGSIDE the U.S. Department of Justice. So the U.S. Department of Justice,, using the argument that Obama "defended ACORN", would be just as guilty by association. Attorney's are paid to represent their clients. And those elected to various Boards are often required to serve with those they do not necesarily agree with. Think of a school board, or a City Council.
