They actualy claim:
ACORN members have Negotiated landmark agreements with banks in St. Louis, New York City, D.C. and others, making more than a billion dollars available for loans in low-income neighborhoods.
Blocked the gutting of the Federal Community Reinvestment Act.
Forced Fannie Mae to establish a precedent-setting program to buy community reinvestment mortgages.

As a side, I sure wish that McCain's camp and the Pubbies would start using the term NEIGHBORHOOD Organizer instead of Community Organizer, when talking about Obama's "accomplishments."
It helps in conveying the rediculousness of the emphasis given it. He's basically done the work that any overly-zealous soccer or PTA mom has which, if you think about it, is kind of creepy in a metrosexual way.
And that he continually emphasizes it so, is scary.
It pays much higher rates of return than investing in homes of people who stand a good chance of being able to pay you back.
IMHO, both the lawmakers and the so called "leaders" of Mae and Mac should all go to jail.
Very well written, Joanie, like all of your pieces.
BTW...F16Fighter aka Liberator says hello! ;-)
And where were George W. Bush and the GOPe aka GOP elite aka Republican Party Hair Club for Men?
It’s 2014, six years later, and the Republican Party has yet to stand up against the leftist extortionists and tyrants -AND- against the banksters who profited because of the TARP.
It’s 2014, six years later, and homosexual marriage is now the norm; and homosexual activity is taught in public schools as the norm.
It’s 2014, six years later, and the Republican Party has abandoned social conservativism and conservatives -— to the extent that, the GOPe bash conservatives in public.
The Republican Party and the Rich Liberal Democrats “Party” are one and the same, except for such dry, minute differences over deal-making, that particularly the Republican candidates (Romney is still in the news, and now Jeb Bush wants to be President) ... market as big issue differences with Democrats.
The differences between the Democrat Party elite and the Republican Party elite, are almost entirely regarding business deals; to the point that, the only reason there is a Republican Party candidate for whom a conservative might vote, has much more to do with the ability of grass roots efforts to get a conservative on a ticket -— there being ALMOST NO SUPPORT AT ALL from the Republican Party national committee and so many GOP elitists.
Obama is a disaster. The leftists, liberals, and now Palace Media (yes - they used to be the liberal media, but now they echo so often the praises of their lord and master known as The One - Obama) ... are more than ever dedicated to morally bankrupting and battering away at standards of decency, such that rot in government is now widely systemic, and you could say the same for the elite executive “suits” whose neo-capitalism is so phony it is now called crony-capitalism.
Imagine, it’s 2014, six years later, and well-paid suits are *AGAINST* free enterprise -— rather, they would have a multitude of special arrangements with government, to affect deals ala fascism.
Interest rates are near zero, because all that decay has caused such a lack of resistance to government regulations, that free enterprise struggles to breathe -— at every turn, an entrepreneur is at least admonished, if not punished, for failure to meet national socialization quotas in the workplace (in professional sports, this is ignored except when it comes to homosexual behavior which is widely championed on the airwaves).
Yes, moms and dads, in six years from when Obama gets elected President of the United States, your kids are confronted by a nation of fascism and sadism ... and “the Republican leadership” are silent about that.
While conservatives and Christians are routinely bashed and held in contempt by entertainment media including regular TV programming scripts.
That is so common, that literally millions of people now turn to Christian TV channels, in order to get some kind of a break from the national socialist effort to impose cultural anarchy and throw God and country into Stalin’s wake.
By the way, health care is being nationalized, and 2014 was the last year that the average person could see the doctor of their choice. Several family doctors have quit, and more are expected to quit. The average monthly insurance premium for an individual is around $750 ... and the “best and brightest” of well-paid “suits” in executive-dom and in government, wonder why there are fewer people in the stands at sports events, and fewer people who can afford to pay car and house payments.
As many people are using up their savings, after which there will be wide-spread destitution, because the largest industry is quickly becoming real estate, funded by central bankers’ (”banksters”) theories.
Since 2008, central bankers have printed money in the trillions. This mostly ends up in the hands of the banksters and politically-correct-and-connected real estate titans and tycoons (some, being REIT’s).
In other words, the economy is forced, not naturally occurring.
In a nutshell, the TARP led to an enormous dependence upon more and more free money from central banks, which was used to pump up prices, while value remained well below. The banksters and government are pararlyzed with fear of economic collapse -— the sudden decline of prices to match value.
*THAT* has led to economic situations that, instead of seeing values increase, THE OPPOSITE IS OCCURRING, and the value of assets are in dramatic decline:
-gold
-silver
-oil
-other resources
Yes, that’s right. The government and so many elitists’ notions of maintaining price levels and claiming (absurdly) that “there’s little to no inflation” ... has caused the Kitchen Price Index (what individuals and families pay for goods and services) to rise ... and the price of assets to fall.
Because the answers to problems from the left, and from the GOPe, are that government should BOTH:
regulate more
spend more
Huh? You say.
Yes. It’s the bright idea of the Republican Party, that there SHOULD BE what is now called ObamaCare - the national health insurance fiasco that is killing the incredible success of the American medical effort and turning it into what you could call, grime.
And no, it’s not a great idea to move to Canada, because in Canada, there is no longer a semblance of freedom of speech ... same for the United Kingdom, where you can be arrested for standing on a street corner, reading excerpts from the works of Winston Churchill.
