In response to the Tax Day Tea Party movement, ACORN has recently announced their intention to counter-rally in support of President Obama, his tax policies and budget. I doubt this was doubted by anyone. They support Obama for several reasons. With pork in the budget, the potential of ACORN involvement in the census and their past activities having a president in office beholding to them is a boon. They get more money, more authority and lower the chances of prosecution from an Obama justice department. Obama gets a ready made protest anytime he needs it.
