An Obama Pattern

I would love to talk about something other than Obama, but I can’t when stuff like this keeps happening. Obama is doing the same thing with ACORN that he did with Ayers and Wright. Pretending he doesn’t know them, which is a total lie. And when people do that, you know they’re hiding something.

ACORN Is committing voter fraud on a massive level, and they have done it before in the past. Watch the Obama minions on TV and they try to make it all about Republicans trying to “suppress voters” and other such tropes. They even try to claim ACORN might be doing it to benefit Republicans, even though ACORN is a left wing group which endorses Obama.

In 1992 [Obama] led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn’s leaders for being “smack dab in the middle” of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls.

During his tenure on the board of Chicago’s Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for “staging, sound, lighting.” It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote.

The Obama campaign is now distancing itself from Acorn, claiming Mr. Obama never organized with it and has nothing to do with illegal voter registration. Yet it’s disingenuous to channel cash into an operation with a history of fraud and then claim you’re shocked to discover reports of fraud. As with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, Mr. Obama was happy to associate with Acorn when it suited his purposes. But now that he’s on the brink of the Presidency, he wants to disavow his ties.

Except, there’s a paper trail. And in the age of the internet you can’t pretend the past doesn’t exist. The mainstream press is starting to look at Acorn. We’ll see if Obama can skate on this one.

UPDATE: Obama is now admitting he repped ACORN in the past as a lawyer, but is not admitting he told them last year he will invite ACORN to set policies before the inauguration.

What is it with Dems? They like to use the word fairness, but have no idea what it means.
