Breaking: ACORN bombshell #4 due from BigGovernment tomorrowObama campaign scrubbed its website to hide ACORN liesHere's the Google cache's copy of Barack Obama's official "Fight the Smears" website regarding the candidate's involvement with the vote-fraud specialists known as ACORN (currently being investigated in fifteen states). ACORN and Obama at the Heart of the Mortgage Meltdown Starting in the nineties, a young attorney named Barack Obama began working with ACORN to promote mortgages for those who could not afford them. At the time, ACORN consisted of community agitators, who falsely accused banks of "redlining" (failing to offer mortgages to the urban poor). These groups would pack bank lobbies and harass customers in order to intimidate the institutions and force the government to lower underwriting standards. A former community agitator and ACORN attorney named Barack Obama sued Citibank in 1994, just one of hundreds of nuisance lawsuits filed by ACORN and its affiliates to loosen mortgage underwriting standards. The inevitable result is still unfolding. But this much is clear: ACORN, its attorneys and its sycophants in Congress unleashed a catastrophic meltdown on America. It used government power to to force financial institutions to underwrite completely unqualified applicants, without documentation of income, citizenship, equity or any other reasonable measure. Hope. And Change. One out of two ain't bad. We got the change. Hope, however, is in short supply. http://directorblue.blogspot.com/...g-acorn-bombshell-4-due-from.html |

I don't know that I'd say that ACORN and Maobama are at the heart of the housing crisis, but there is certainly reason to believe that both played a very influential role. At the heart of the crisis are Fannie and Freddie, and let's not forget our friend Barney Frank. But there are countless others as well, both Dem and Rep. Like I said, NO ONE wants to man up and take any responsibility whatsoever for the crisis. Smoke and mirrors, fly, it's all smoke and mirrors. |

Acorn caused Hurricane Katrina too. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |
