Legal Commentary

Spy Magazine occasionally ran a Letters to the Editor of the New Yorker feature, back when the New Yorker didn't have a letters section.  Because Jim Lindgren didn't set up the comments feature for this post, I think it's worth opening it up for comments here.  Here's the key paragraph:

Obama went from being the lawyer for ACORN, to ?the Senator from ACORN? (as he was sometimes called in Illinois in 2007 and 2008), to the presidency. He pushed ACORN?s agenda in the Illinois legislature, and he pushed ACORN?s agenda in the US Senate. It shouldn?t be surprising that he has taken up a more sophisticated version of the ACORN-SEIU campaign against bankers, just as he did as a lawyer in the 1990s.

In case anyone's shy (you know, that's the usual problem on the Internet -- shyness), I'll start.  I've seen lots of what I would consider good and bad criticisms of President Obama on the Volokh Conspiracy blog, just as I saw plenty of good and bad criticisms or defenses of President Bush there.  But they generally were accompanied by reasons.  This paragraph does not strike me as coming close to meeting that (minimal) standard.
