U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.
FEC spokeswoman Mary Brandenberger said it is not unusual for campaigns to amend reports, even regarding large sums of money.
But, said Blair Latoff, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee: "Barack Obama's failure to accurately report his campaign's financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign's interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing 'new' politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the 'old-style' Chicago politics of yesterday."
Jim Terry, spokesman for a group that tracks ACORN, said Citizens Services Inc.'s involvement in the Obama campaign raises bigger questions.
"All of this just seems like an awful lot of money and time spent on political campaigning for an organization that purports to exist to help low-income consumers," said Terry, chief public advocate for Consumers Rights League, a Washington, D.C., advocacy outfit with a libertarian outlook.
"ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain," Terry claimed. "Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama's political gain."

DID OBAMA FOR AMERICA USE ACORN TO FUNNEL MONEY TO DAN PARISI?
On February 25, 2008 (as has been previously reported and independently verified) I received a telephone tip from a man claiming he and another had accessed communications between David Axelrod, (left) (Obama for America manager at the time) and current Sr. White House Adviser, and Dan Parisi, owner whitehouse.com (internet porn producer and all around scum). The tipster stated in this communication David Axelrod and Dan Parisi were arguing over Parisi’s failure to post reports of Edward Ira Gelb stating I had failed (what turned out to be a rigged polygraph arranged by Parisi at the request of/paid for by Obama for America) fast enough for David Axelrod and Parisi telling Axelrod he would not put up anything further until he received the payment in full of the agreed upon $750,000.00.
When I first reported this the Obots and others dismissed it as me making things up. I forward the phone number and name to then Chicago Tribune Reporter John Crewdson who confirmed to me he was told the same as I was. The tipster advised me to immediately obtain the FEC campaign finance reports Obama for America was required by law to filed in April and look for payments not to Parisi (left) directly, but to another organization capable of paying Parisi.
April 15, 2008 No Quarter reported that Citizen Services Inc. in New Orleans, LA was paid $800,000 by Obama for America for services that CSI did not provide.
In light of the recent video’s released Big Government obtained by Independent film maker James O’Keefe and associate Hannah Giles, I think it is time to revisit the information and tip received in the very early morning hours of Feb 25, 2008. Dan Parisi refused several requests to open his business and personal accounts to independent review and Obama for America and David Axelrod refused to comment on the information received.
I know in my heart the tip received on Feb 25, 2008 was accurate, I know that Edward Gelb (left) asked Dan Parisi before even beginning the process on Feb 22, 2008 if he had taken care of the additional fee’s agreed upon!
So the question again comes to this: Did Obama for America as arranged and authorized by David Axelrod pay Dan Parisi $750,000.00 to arrange a rigged polygraph with Edward Ira Gelb, to try and discredit me and did Obama for America make all or part of that $750,000.00 payment to Dan Parisi through Citizen Services Inc, an arm of ACORN? After the individual who called me with the tip informed two other individuals of the same information, I am convinced the answer to that question is yes.
In light of the recent exposing of ACORN’s criminal activities I have asked a friend to request the LA Attorney General investigate Citizen Services Inc and whether it did indeed funnel payments to Dan Paris, any Parisi owned entity, or any account owned by Robert Braddock and/or the girlfriend of Braddock a resident of North Carolina.

lol lets have an audit....and what are we doing giving tax dollars to a privately funded organization anyway?
Thank-you Glenn Beck. Now that you have your very own Times cover even more people will tune in to see the freak show, and instead see truth. Me thinks the plan is working.
so many mistakes....not just one or two errors. no lies there. /s
If legislators were for good governance (don't hold your breath) they would remove from office anyone who was involved in such fraud during the campaign.
Do you have any question about this?
That sounds just right.
Of course I don’t. I think he knew and knows exactly who he was and is dealing with.
Bingo: Certainly he knew.
The guy is a crook,but dont look for an investigation by Congress , They are crooks too.
Does anyone really expect a black man like Charlie who is a criminal in his own right to ask for an investigation? Any of the other CBC members?? LMAO . It’s a joke.
When they arent stealing for themselves they are busy robbing us in the name of the Government.
This is funny , many times Obama has been compared to Hitler. Maybe he should be compared to Al Capone. Just another Chicago gangster.
Hire Charlie Rangels accountant...
It is bad enough that we have so many criminal Democrats and a few criminal Republicans sitting in Congress and the Oval Office, but the more frightening aspect is that there are so many fellow American citizens who keep sending these crooks and degenerates back to Washington! I mean, Barny Frank has someone running a degenerate homosexual whore house in his basement and he is still loved by the braindead in Massachusetts? Come on, what do such voters deserve for embracing such a lying criminal over and over again? They vote repeatedly for a criminal because they want to (criminally?) benefit from his power in Congress! And what kind of voters keep sending Maxine Waters back to Congress when she openly threatens to fascistly take over the oil companies in the middle of a Congressional hearing? Morally bankrupt people, that’s who!
bookmark.
LOL “incredibly suspicious”?????
Another story the msm will ignore to help hide the “tranparency” of this LIAR.
Hey zero and zero’s spokesperson . . . “YOU LIE!!!!!!”
Notice how ACORN is a liberal organization but we are right wingers.
I never considered nobama nor his bunch true geniuses, just relatively smart criminals.
You gotta know the roaches are running like crazy.
