NYT - Obama and ACORN affiliation

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...york_times

Mr. Obama’s previous interactions with its affiliates in Illinois, including a 1995 ballot-access lawsuit where he represented the group alongside the Justice Department. Mr. Obama’s campaign also hired an Acorn-affiliated get-out-the-vote subsidiary last year.

Patrick Gaspard, the White House political director, worked with Acorn in New York to set up the Working Families political party and sat on the party’s board with Ms. Lewis when he was the top strategist for its ally, 1199 S.E.I.U. United Healthcare Workers East. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her campaigns for the Senate, and the White House urban policy czar, Adolfo Carrión Jr., formerly the Bronx borough president, ran on the party’s ballot lines.

Can we all now agree he did work with ACORN? That ACORN does get involved in elections for the dems?

It's all from that right wing, racist, conservative paper the New York Times.

Doesnt matter. Obama wasnt involved with them during his campaign.
His past affiliations, no matter how shady, do not matter.
He is THE ONE.

True. By the time the GOP gets any traction on this issue, Obama will have saved the US and the world and none of it will matter.

It's nice to see Republicans in Congress have banded together to take down a Rouge Organization like ACORN and take away their federal funding.

Meanwhile, 30 Republican Senators voted against a measure that the U.S. wouldn't take contracts with organizations like KBR that made it so the only way crimes like Rape would be handled would be through arbitration.

Pretty much voting against protecting rape victims.

Here are the names of those 30 Republican Senators.

Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Bond (R-MO)
Brownback (R-KS)
Bunning (R-KY)
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)

Cochran (R-MS)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
DeMint (R-SC)
Ensign (R-NV)
Enzi (R-WY)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Isakson (R-GA)

Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Sessions (R-AL)
Shelby (R-AL)
Thune (R-SD)
Vitter (R-LA)

But yeah, it's AWESOME to so see Congress focusing on real problems like ACORN!!!
