Obama Caught in a Major ACORN Lie

I don't know what to make of acorn.

If the gov't funds acorn and you go to work for them, you can like it or leave it.

If you like it, hey, acorn has the imprimatur of the gov't who am I to say if it's right or wrong, I'm not the boss, do your job or not.

What are we supposed to do, be little Elliot Spitzers and look for indictable actions at every place we work. Naw, that's not what we were hired to do.

Obama basically sums things up with "learn to play ball", it's not his system, it's not his program, acorn was there before he was and will be long after he's gone.

Even if an investigation turns up that it's a corrupt, criminal organization ... would taxpayer funding be stopped?

I guess that question is rhetorical.

Obama Caught in a Major ACORN Lie
by Jim Hoft

The brazen dishonesty of this president is a bit concerning to say the least.

A newly discovered video shows Obama lying to the American people about his relationship with ACORN:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-jPJwu3wUcU&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-jPJwu3wUcU&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) from the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released this video at CPAC of Barack Obama discussing his close partnership with ACORN. Obama talked about his long relationship with ACORN privately in this video before the 2008 election:

  • “When I ran project vote, the voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it. Once I was elected there wasn’t a campaign that ACORN worked on down in Springfield that I wasn’t right there with you. Since I have been in the United States Senate I’ve been always a partner with ACORN as well. I’ve been fighting with ACORN, along side ACORN, on issues you care about my entire career.”
But, when Barack Obama was confronted about his relationship with ACORN publicly before the election he had an entirely different story. This is what he said in October 2008:

  • Reporter: Senator McCain today said there was voter fraud going on in the battleground states. ACORN has been tampering with America’s most precious right. There has to be a full investigation and he also said you need to disclose your full relationship with ACORN. I’m wondering if you have any reaction to Senator McCain’s charge?

    Barack Obama: Well, first of all my relationship with ACORN is pretty straightforward. It’s probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that investigation was the US Justice department in having Illinois implement what was called the motor voter law, to make sure people could go to DMV’s and driver license facilities to get registered. It wasn’t being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN. There is an ACORN organization in Chicago. They’ve been active. As an elected offiical, I’ve had interactions with them. But, they’re not advising my campaign. We’ve got the best voter registration in politics right now and we don’t need ACORN’s help.
For the record…

ACORN is the largest radical leftist group in America today.
This radical group worked closely with the Obama camp during the election but, the community organizing group was not open about the relationship. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:

One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992. He worked along side ACORN before he became an elected official. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts.
And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama in 2008.

In 2009 Obama promoted a top ACORN operative, Patrick Gaspard, who’s oranization was fined $775,000 for election violations, to a top post in the White House. Gespard is helping shape domestic policy today.

Obama’s ACORN group was banned from receiving federal funds in September after the group was busted on tape promoting the child sex slave trade.


Shit , I thought his close ties to the "acorn nuts" was common knowledge.
 
MSM will never touch this and I haven't seen anything about the dems jamming healthcare through either.

This is proof of 1 of 2 things:

1. the democrats are so stupid that they believe that they weren't left enough and that cost them the last elections.

2. obama and the dems are trying to cause a collapse so they can assume more power.

I guess that question is rhetorical.
The question is irrelevant. ACORN was found not guilty of wrong-doing by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

Why are they dropping the Acorn name now?
