Rotten Oaks From Rotten ACORNs Grow
The group calling itself ACORN works hard to register low-income voters who tend to vote for Democrats. ACORN’s under fire over allegedly phony voter registration in 12 states now, involving many thousands of false registrations.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada authorities seized records Tuesday from a group (ACORN) they accused of submitting fraudulent voter-registration forms — including for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cleveland Leader reports this morning that Barack Obama is lying about his involvement with the group ACORN, which recently added Missouri to the list of states in which its activities are under investigation. While Obama’s site maintains that he never trained ACORN activists — whose training apparently encourages them to play fast and loose with election laws — Chicago ACORN leader Toni Foulkes has thanked Obama for doing precisely that.

There are also strong allegations that Obama has funneled funds to ACORN. He has in fact been strongly supportive of them, and STANLEY KURTZ, ETHICS & PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE, says: “ACORN is a group of very radical community organizers. They have been very strongly supported by Barack Obama, although he sometimes likes to deny that connection. Obama has channeled the funds to ACORN from various foundations he’s been on. He’s done training for ACORN of their leaders.
And what ACORN does is they try to intimidate banks into giving these high-risk loans to low-credit customers. This is what they did for years, especially in the late ’80s and early ’90s.
They would flood protestors into the lobbies of banks, scare away customers, they would send protestors to the homes of bankers, they would break into private offices of bankers to scare them, and they would file complaints under something called the Community Reinvestment Act, which is a law that ACORN used to try to force these banks to make these high-risk loans.”

In other words, ACORN is behind much of the current economic meltdown caused exactly by all the high-risk loans, and Obama is behind ACORN.
This is the guy who wants to lead us out of this same finacial disaster that’s now affecting the entire world. The same person who is funding voter fraud in his favor. You think George Bush was bad? You ain’t seen nothing yet if Obama gets voted in.

Dubious about how much effect that might have had but certainly it is official Democrat policies that encouraged lending to unsuitable applicants and caused the credit crunch. Surprised a lot more is not being made of that.

Obama seems to have acted on this very much in line with Democrat policy and that makes it even worse.

Off topic as usual but I initially thought there was one silver lining to all this, that fewer jobs around would reduce illegal immigration. In fact the opposite effect is likely as third world countries will be affected rather more than us.

Right Truth also says “if true”. One has to say the source, yet another group set up to rubbish Obummer, is not terribly convincing. Wouldn’t this be a basic check made when he entered congress? We shall see.
