When the ACORN fraud came out during obama's campaign, many blogs started posting with comments. A few led right back to Obama's campaign website personal blogs. Obama supporters said it was a game changer if the allegations were true. The blogs reporting obama's supporters comments were on a count down to see how fast obama had them scrubbed.

Some comments;

This ACORN stuff is really really bad. As a voter, I really need to know that Obama wasn’t funding an organization that willingly engaged in voter fraud. This could be a game changer for me.

I think it is very important for Barack Obama to address this issue before it gets out-of-control. If Obama has paid them to register voters and if ACORN has been shown to do illegal things this could blow up in the campaigns face. I would strongly suggest that the campaign does not dodge this issue. If ACORN is doing illegal things, Obama should get out from underneath it.

There is so much talk within this campaign, by Biden, Obama and supporters, about the lies and comments coming from the McCain campaign regarding Ayres and Acorn. I have investigated both topics, and at this point have been unable to identify any lies out of the McCain camp. Indeed, there is a great deal of information tying Obama to Ayres, and to the corrupt company Acorn. Today the FBI announced raids on many Acorn offices - within Obama’s target states. Since Obama has paid that company $800,000 to hire Acorn to register people in these same states, what are we to think about the connection between Obama and Acorn? What are we to think about the ‘increases’ in registration, when Directors of Elections in various states, and the FBI report hundreds of thousands false forms having been filed by Acorn (and they have been shown on the news).

We now have the problem of questioning 1) voter registration and actual voting in these states; 2) Obama’s responses to criticism. And if we have to question all of that, then how can we take at face value anything this ticket says?

For my part, I feel very let down. I feel a total lack of trust in this team, and in what has been voiced in the various sound bites and rhetoric. Let’s face it - it looks BAD that the company this campaign hired at a large sum of money (the same company Obama worked for over years, including doing their training), the same company that has been under investigation and lawsuits for over 10 years, is now under seige of the FBI for fraud. This looks bad, and frankly it smacks of desperation and a determination to do anything, no matter the cost, to get elected.

This is a campaign of change? From what? to What? This sounds like Chicago politics as usual.

ACORN MAJOR PROBLEM - URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama campaign - you have a real situation on your hands w/ this Acorn dilema. Who cares about Wright and Ayers, but FRAUD, this is huge. Your entire campaign has centered around trust and change and this could completely tarnish your reputation. You, Obama, need to get on TV RIGHT NOW and explain the situation. This cannot linger in hopes of it dying down and it needs to be addressed before the McCain camp attacks. I would suggest you telling the American people, that you are appalled and don’t condone this activity and that you will put up you own money (personal or campaign) to ensure that no this situation is fixed. You must explain what is going on and separate yourself from this activity……NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m still undecided. I am very concerned about all the news about Ayers, Wright, Farakan, Rezko, ACORN, etc. Please convince me i have nothing to worry about.

In other words, “Say it ain’t so, Barry.”
