The scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), well known for voter fraud, embezzlement and cooking the books, endorsed Obama and fought hard to get him elected. Not surprising considering the taxpayer-funded group has strong Democratic Party ties (Howard Dean and Bill Clinton praise its activism) and Obama proudly worked for it as a community organizer in Chicago.
In 2008 Obama’s presidential campaign paid ACORN more than $800,000 for services such as polling, advance work and staging major events. A Pittsburgh newspaper later reported that Obama covertly amended Federal Election Commission reports to say that the money went to so-called “get-out-the-vote” projects rather than the polling activities. The campaign responded to the article by claiming it had “mistakenly misrepresented” the services in federal reports.
The close ties between Obama and ACORN are undeniable and well documented but lately the radical community group has become a publicity nightmare for the president and he conveniently wants the relationship to vanish, similar to the way he unsuccessfully tried to cut off his controversial, racially divisive longtime pastor and friend (Jeremiah Wright) during the presidential election.
I wonder what would make him try to distance himself now, what could have lead to this? I didn't see anything on the news.
With all the videos of him showing his support and connections, it will not be an easy task at all. They are just going to have to change the name.
He isn't destroying anything but his own credibility. The Democrats have been through much worse than this. Not too unlike sailors on a sinking ship, they bail off, swim to shore, and live to politic another day ..
Again, film was doctored, the set-up was viewed as a joke, as the facts show.
are you for real???
do you really think that, well quick, call congress because they believed it
and has stoped all funding, and the FBI is getting involved as well as the Justice Dept, and 20 other states, you better let them know it's all a fake so call off the hounds
good grief!!!
and you think the "tea baggers are off the beam"
that's a laugh
At least Bush spoke himself when his administration's "stink" hit the public.
I guess for those of you that are looking to rally behind or against someone that actually matters. Go team.
