Is this what you REALLY want as president?...

YouTube - OBAMA CAUGHT SAYING ACORN AND FRIENDS...

1:45 in...

Quote:

Question - "If elected president of the United States, would you agreee, in your first 100 days, to meet with the delegation of representatives from these various community organizations that campaigned for community values...could they count on you in your first 100 days to sit down with them?

Obama - "Yes, but let me even say before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we're gonna be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We're gonna be having meetings, all across the country, with community organizations, so that you have input into the agenda for the next president of the United States of America.

That's right...

The same people that repeatedly get caught neck-deep in voter fraud will be "shaping the agenda"...

The same people that forced banks to lend to people that can't afford mortgages and created the current economic mess will be "shaping the agenda"...

If you think Obama's not brought and paid for by these organizations and still think he's running for everyone, than I can do nothing but lower my head in sorrow...

While he publicly whitewashes his website to distance himself from ACORN, he shows the real deal when speaking directly to them...

Just like he did when he left rural Pennsylvania and told the San Fran elite that they were clinging to God and guns...

The organization does a lot more than voter registration drives. In fact that's the least of what they do. I've pointed this out before, but here it is anyway:

Why aren't there any Dems. demanding an investigation into ACORN's "voter regitration" arm? Why isn't there an outcry to stop them from the left? These people are disenfranchising thousands of people and you hear the left is murmurs and token effort at making public statements. ACORNs community related efforts are all well and good, but the corrupt voter registration arm should be shut down and placed under Federal investigation across the nation.

All ACORN does is turn in the paperwork and facilitate citizens registering.
They even tag the registrations of those they think are iffy and worthy of investigation. They can't throw them out themselves because they are not an election commission. Most of these were tagged by ACORN in the first place.

If that were ALL ACORN was doing then they wouldn't have a gazillion investigations into voter fraud against them...

Multiple registrants tell Cuyahoga County Elections Board ACORN workers begged for signatures

Quote:

Teenager Freddie Johnson said he was offered smokes and dollar bills to fill out voter registration cards.

And now the Cuyahoga County Elections Board has 73 cards with Johnson's name on them.

Johnson and another prolific registrant were subpoenaed to testify at a meeting Monday as the Elections Board continued its look at possible fraud by ACORN, a national organization that tries to get low- and moderate-income people to register. ACORN's methods have drawn interest in a number of states this presidential election year.

Johnson, 19, said he mostly was trying to help ACORN workers who begged him to sign up because they needed to keep their jobs.

"They'd come up with a sob story why they needed the signature," said Johnson, of Garfield Heights.

ACORN leaders have acknowledged that workers paid by the hour were given quotas to fill.

Board member Sandy McNair said ACORN did not do a competent job carrying out its business plan. Members, in fact, said little about ACORN. And they turned their investigation over to the county sheriff and prosecutor.

A second person to testify, Christopher Barkley, 33, said ACORN workers pestered him while they tried to gather signatures.

Barkley, of Cleveland, said he was homeless and reading a book on Public Square when he signed some of the 13 cards that contain his name. He filled out cards - with his mother's house or workplace as the address - to help workers stay employed.

"Me being a kind-hearted person, I said 'Yeah,' " Barkley recalled.

Barack Obama and the Democrats are stealing the election. Massive voter fraud is being carried out, even as we speak, by their henchmen, known by the innocuous sounding Association for Community Organisations for Reform Now, or Acorn. Clever bastards.

The only problem? Despite the screaming wall-to-wall coverage of "Democratic voter fraud in 11 swing states" as seen on Fox News and even the once-respectable CNN, none of it's true. None of it.

In just the last week, we've had a phoney stunt raid in swing state Nevada (where Acorn had been cooperating with officials for months, concerning problem canvassers they'd long ago fired); a Republican election official in swing state Missouri tell Fox News that she's being beseiged with fraudulent registration forms from Acorn (in a county where they've not done any registration work since August);
TOLD YA THIS WAS REPUBLICRAP!!!
