Writer: Obama, ACORN go back 20 years

A Wall Street Journal writer has documented President Obama's history with ACORN, the now-beleaguered organizing enterprise that was found by a team of undercover volunteers apparently willing to aid and abet in child prostitution and tax evasion, goes back 20 years.

SNIP

Les Kinsolving, WND's reporter at the White House and one of the most-senior reporters on the beat, wanted to ask: "The Wall Street Journal's John Fund reports President Obama not only was an attorney for ACORN, in but 1996 he listed ACORN as first among his key supporters for his campaign for Illinois state senate. Does the president believe John Fund is inaccurate or unfair?"

Fund, in his recent column, was commenting on Obama's response to a network question about ACORN, when he said, "It's not something I've followed closely."

"Mr. Obama took great pains to act as if he barely knew about ACORN. In fact, his association goes back almost 20 years," Fund wrote. "In 1991, he took time off from his law firm to run a voter-registration drive for Project Vote, an ACORN partner that was soon fully absorbed under the ACORN umbrella. The drive registered 135,000 voters and was considered a major factor in the upset victory of Democrat Carol Moseley Braun over incumbent Democratic Senator Alan Dixon in the 1992 Democratic Senate primary."

Fund described how Obama's success "made him a hot commodity on the community organizing circuit" and how he became "a top trainer at ACORN's Chicago conferences."

"In 1995, he became ACORN's attorney, participating in a landmark case to force the state of Illinois to implement the federal Motor Voter Law. That law's loose voter registration requirements would later be exploited by ACORN employees in an effort to flood voter rolls with fake names," Fund wrote.

Les Kinsolving is the clown of the White House press corps and a joke as a journalist.
