Patrick Gaspard worked as an aide to Obama from 2009 to January of 2011. He was replaced by Jennifer O’Malley Dillon at the beginning of the year.
He is now working for the Democratic National Committee since January of this year.
Summary of orgs:
The Working Families Party of New York is not "Gaspard's" organization. Its a political party in New York. (Meaning...just another ticket along Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, etc parties at the ballot box). To say that the WFP is controlled by ACORN is like saying that Republican party is controlled by the Glen Beck's nipple.
1199seiu - Drug, Hospital, and Health Care Employees Union (RN's hospital workers stuff like that).
Gaspard worked for the Union from 1999-2008
In 2004 he helped out "America Coming Together" PAC

When you work with Unions you need to know local politics, something Gaspard knows (New York Politics)
Gaspard offered some guidance to the Working families party (a political party that offers alternatives to existing democrats and republicans) while he was working for the Union.
Why?
As a lobbyist for the union (fucking nurses and their evil union and shit), he needs to make sure that the interest of the people he represents have a voice in NY politics meaning he made sure that laws passed in New York benefited the people he represented.
The article you posted and the linkages it is trying to make is just there to mislead and to plant shit in your head.
Its a tactic. They know most people will take the story at face value and they know that most people will ignore facts once they have formed an opinion.
Get the story out.
Fill it with keywords (spaced properly because they will assume much skimming will be done)
Summary.
Someoine who worked for the administration for two years in a BS position created by the Reagan administration went off to join the Democratic National convention and now does shit for a political party.
