During the 2008 presidential campaign, Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama met with ACORN leaders and reminded them of his history with ACORN and his work in Project Vote!
In 1992, while he was working as a community organizer in Chicago, Obama headed the Chicago operations of Project Vote!, an ACORN effort to register voters nationally.
"I came out of a grassroots organizing background," Obama bragged on his campaign website "Fight the Smears," in a section that apparently has been removed. "That's what I did for three and a half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago to organize."
Eager to let the ACORN audience know he was one of them, Obama went on to specify: "So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. 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 registrations drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work."
Here, Obama in his own words clearly acknowledged his close association with ACORN, his acceptance of ACORN's radical methodology and his appreciation for the support of the organization in his run for the presidency.

And now we are all paying them back for their help in Obama’s campaign.
Just as we are paying back the Unions.
People : No one give up 33 milions dollars in campaign funds for nothing.
That’s all the more reason those hotshot bankers & their lawyers should have spoken out and refused to take the money. They should have screamed loud & clear about Barney Frank, Dodd & the rest of those corrupt politicians.
“That’s what I did for three and a half years before I wasted a bunch of someone’s money to go to law school so I could pass the bar, write a few legal memos, and then either lose or not retain my right to practice law.”
Pay to play taken to the nth degree. Corruption is corruption regardless the skin color. But the MSM has thrown out all ethics and standards with this guy. I can’t wait until the bamster turns on the press. Ought to be fun.
Isn’t ACORN the group known for voter fraud?
