While the Obama administration runs away from ACORN here in the United States it is quietly embracing ACORN overseas.

The Obama administration is using U.S. government resources to help the embattled radical advocacy organization spread the gospel of left-wing community organizing in India.

The official caption accompanying the picture indicates Roemer was discussing “ACORN India’s local waste management and recycling program.â€
