Default Obama, Acorn And Their Starring Role In The Mortgage Crisis

By Frank Salvato
October 10, 2008
Barack Obama, congressional Democrats and Progressive-Left operatives - with the help of the mainstream media - have done a great job of spinning culpability for the mortgage crisis onto the Bush Administration, congressional Republicans and, in particular, John McCain. This is a notable moment in the history of political spin because as the facts present, Democrats and Progressive-Leftists - not Republicans - are the ones directly responsible for the current financial crisis in which our country is embroiled. At the center of this culpability are Barack Obama and ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

In order to understand how Barack Obama and ACORN are directly to blame for the mortgage meltdown, we first have to understand what ACORN is and how Barack Obama was affiliated with them...and make no mistake; Barack Obama was most definitely affiliated with ACORN.

Default Re: Obama, Acorn And Their Starring Role In The Mortgage Crisis

Watching TV this morning, the news ticker along the bottom of the screen showed an Obama campaign staffer commenting on his association with ACORN.
The Obama staffer quoted Obama as saying that someone is smearing him & he had no significant relationship with ACORN.
Obviously there is a record that proves his relationship & Mr. Salvato's article shows us where those connections & history of relationship are.
Yet still, Obama & his campaign staff mention to CNN or another of the old establishment mainstream media who are shilling for his campaign, there was no connection. So, according to the media, the issue is dropped & has no relevance to anything important in this election. Once mentioned & dismissed, we are to ignore this distraction since Obama says its not true. The evidence is not relevant.
How many disturbing associations &/or issues is it now that Obama has addressed by dismissing them as smear tactics & not important, and his dismissals are supported by a media who simply does no investigation at all?
The ticker said, he had no relationship with ACORN. If this is true, just exactly what experience does he have? Does he have any experience or association with anyone or anything? If every time he is connected to a group, action, or individual, all he does is disassociate himself, then exactly what did he do all those years? Does he have any experience at all at anything at all?
This nation may elect the most unqualified, most corrupt, most vacuous candidate ever nominated by a political party. He has no background. He has no past associations with others. He has no experience with any system or issue.
Its like he never existed before this election, but we are to trust his "hope & change agenda", as though its perfect & presented to us by the most knowledgeable human being to ever walk the planet!
What bunk!
Unfortunately, many Americans think all of this is pure politics & they fail to realize this is for real & this guys plans to socialize this nation are just as real.
God help us, Democrats are not!

Direct quote from David Freddoso's book, "The Case Against Barack Obama", chapter 7; page 150:

"ACORN ....... its members boast that they have played a key role in Obama's election campaigns. It was with Project Vote that Obama assisted in a 1992 registration drive. Obama also represented ACORN in a 1995 lawsuit ove Illinois' implementation of the Motor Voter law. According to ACORN leader, Toni Foulkes, 'ACORN loves Barack Obama'. "

There is NO Doubt that Obama has been closely involved with ACORN.

Just so we can connect all the dots, McCain plans to appoint Cuomo as SEC Chairman, if elected. The very same guy that is in the first minutes of your video, in 1998 (under Clinton) explaining how they intend to implement the sub-prime loans that brought us to today's collapse of our economy! Absolute INSANITY!

Quote:
McCain told 60 Minutes tonight that he would name New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, son of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under President Bill Clinton, as chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Mike Allen reports.

“I've admired Andrew Cuomo,” McCain said. “I think he is somebody who could restore some credibility, lend some bipartisanship to this effort.”

For me, it is of the upmost importance who will be the appointments made by either of the presidential candidates.

Obama is silent but I have little doubt that those appointed by him will follow the socialist philosophies which Obama endorses.

The few names that have been "rumored" who will possibly be McCain's appointments, leaves me with little optimism.

Rough years ahead!!

What's with the president? Does he think he has to be neutral in this election? Is he afraid to place the blame for the mortgage meltdown where it belongs, with the Democrats? Is he so intimidated by the demonization campaign of the Democrats that he's just going through the motions until his term is over? Come on Mr. President, we've supported you through thick and thin, how about some help here?

Talking Re: Obama, Acorn And Their Starring Role In The Mortgage Crisis

Obama, ACORN, and the Democrat Party "ARE" the causes of the meltdown.
