Before the ACORN Sprouts into a Tree

[NOBama]

1) Acorn pressured banks to issue loans to people who couldn’t afford them, contributing to the current near depression;

2) The Obama campaign sent over $800,000 to an organization linked to Acorn;

3) Obama doesn’t represent change not only in selecting the old Washington insider Biden as a running mate, but also in splitting hairs a la Clinton in claiming he wasn’t hired by Acorn to do legal work for them since he volunteered to do legal work for them;

4) Actually, volunteers are more likely than paid employees to expect something in return;

5) Obama has clearly received much in return, in terms of the members getting out the vote for him, at the expense of taxpayers and naive supporters of foundations;

6) Obama did not merely serve Acorn as an attorney, but

7) Obama used to train Acorn workers;

8) Obama denied having trained them;

9) Obama has then been proven to have trained them, and his supporters had to admit it.

10) Acorn has been involved in many abuses of the voting process.

11) Obama’s campaign originally claimed the money it donated to Acorn was for some kind of technical assistance;

12) It has then been proven that at least some of the money was spent on getting out the vote.

13) Despite all of the above, Obama hasn’t criticized Acorn. Beyond that,

14) Obama’s allies earmarked some of the porked-up $700,000,000,000+ bailout money to fronts for Acorn.

15) So Obama more than paid them back. But he is not finished.

16) He also pledged to seek their input in creating his new administration.

Pressuring ANY percentage of banks to give loans to those who can't afford them sucks.

CRA was there to give loans to BLACKS, not people who couldn't afford loans. You equate them as the same, and then wonder why Republicans get called racist? Yeesh.

 

[Mr. President]

CRA was there to give loans to BLACKS, not people who couldn't afford loans. You equate them as the same, and then wonder why Republicans get called racist? Yeesh.

Mostly Blacks who couldn't afford them and wanted to use race as the reason they weren't getting the loans. Completely ignoring the lack of or horrible credit they had.
