Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown

"I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work." — Barack Obama, Speech to ACORN, November 2007

The excuse parroted by most newsmedia for failing to give Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., a full vetting, such as they are doing with Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, is that “after 20 months of campaigning and debate,” all is known about the senator. Wrong!

For instance, how many voters know that Obama, during his four-year tenure in Chicago as a community organizer, worked as a trainer for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — the infamous ACORN, whose affiliate, Project Vote, is known for voter fraud — the same ACORN from which a mighty mortgage mess has grown. Upon his return to Chicago after Harvard Law School, Obama provided legal representation for ACORN and for Tony Rezko (recently convicted of bribery and money laundering), who was Obama’s main money man during his years in the Illinois State Senate. Rezko had helped the Obamas purchase a home in Chicago’s politically correct Hyde Park. Obama sat on the boards of the philanthropic Woods Foundation and the Joyce Foundation, both of whom funneled millions of dollars to ACORN.

Along this same line, under CRA(Community Revitalization Act) I believe minority businesses were encouraged (a good sounding idea) and many small mortgage houses were started, some by minorities, some by non-minorities wanting to make a buck. These agencies actively recruited sub-prime applicants. All the community orgn. told minorities they were entitled and the country owed them something, helping lead to our current victimology and gimme attitudes.

I want ot know when community organizations,using grants from govt. and foundations are going to teach responsibility, hard work, and how great this country is.(Pipe dream)

I would like to see this whole thing end with an number of Clinton era pols like Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, and Robert Rubin together with Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Chuckie Schumer, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick and a few others being frog-marched on a perp walk after being arrested. Obama should have to publicly disavow and apologize for his association with ACORN and his Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buddies. Of course all this will never happen, but it should happen.

If this is on audio it could be used to good effect in an ad. Left side of screen — photo of Obama (or video) saying this. Right side, just a crawler of all the ACORN voter fraud cases.
