Obama Lies, Claims He Never Worked For ACORN

On Obama’s “Fight the Smears” website (which would be more accurately titled “spin the truth”) Barack Obama claims that he was never a community organizer for ACORN and that he never worked for the group in any capacity.
The problem, of course, is that he did work for ACORN. He worked for a subsidiary group of ACORN called Project Vote which engaged in the sort of voter registration drives ACORN itself has become notorious for defrauding.
Here’s video of Obama himself (among others) talking about his time as director of Project Vote:


Now I’m sure Obama and his disciples would say that Project Vote and ACORN aren’t the same thing. But if that’s true, why do Project Vote and ACORN share the same office space in both Arkansas (where ACORN was founded) and Washington D.C.?
Here’s a screenshot of ACORN’s contact information:

Here’s a screenshot of Project Vote’s contact information:

So Obama wants us to believe that he never worked for ACORN. Yet the truth is that he worked for an organization that does the same thing as ACORN (voter registration) and shares office space with ACORN both in its headquarters in Arkansas of all places as well as Washington DC. Oh, and by the way, the two groups post their job listings together as well:

Once again, Obama isn’t being truthful with the public about his past. Just as he’s had to distance himself from spiritual and political mentors Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright and William “I Wish I’d Set More Bombs” Ayers, Obama also has to distance himself from the fraudulent, far-left ACORN.
No politician is perfect, but do we really want a leader who can’t even be honest about who he worked for? Not to mention what church sermons he did and did not hear?

    Saying that Obama worked for Project Vote and not ACORN is a distinction without a difference. Project Vote is ACORN.

    Only in the fantasyland you live in. Like most liberals, I choose to live in the real world.

    And ACORN is a problem because ACORN is the nation’s foremost perpetrator of voter registration fraud.

    A complete and total lie. That distinction belongs to Ken Blackwell and Katherine Harris. I don’t expect you to understand that, but there it is.

    Why does your Messiah feel the constant need to lie about his past?

    He’s not a messiah, hes the next POTUS.

    Grow up.

  • LaMonte

    At the ACORN site click “What is ACORN?” or this link:
    http://www.acorn.org/index.php?id=2
    There is a link to their “family of organizations”. The link:
    http://www.acorn.org/index.php?id=1573
    proudly claims Project Vote [right on the list after their two radio stations].
    I don’t think one has to assume anything from mailing addresses or offices given their own claim for ACORN to be a family of several entities — all, no doubt, doing good work…

    Sparkie,

    I wanted to keep the point narrowed to the article at hand.

    I agree completely that ALL of these dirt-bags need a good old-fashioned public horse-whipping…. perp-walks and jumpsuits for all of them!!

    Both dominant parties are GUILTY of these failures!

    Who said it first?“What this country needs is a good enema!”

    Yet most have allowed themselves to be bamboozled, and lead astray by strict party politics.

    One dare not challenge ACORN, William Ayers, racial lies, democrat talking points, the list is so long that time doesn’t allow one to complete it here…

    One dare not question the background, nor legitimacy of “The One”….. that is now considered “racist”… above criticism…. as with the bail-out….. Could I ask who the predominant recipients are without immediate flaming???? I bet not….

    As you see above, in the anonymous post, when one takes a stand it is immediately regarded lunacy from “right-wing” media sources….. accusation has become fact in this country… but only when it involves the right wing citizens….

  • LoadTheMule

    The only problem with anonymity is it frees you (if one is so inclined) to lie, spin, be lewd, rude, crude, and socially unacceptable–all without consequence. The childish, trollish, nannie-nannie-boo-boo behavior begins when the curtain of anonymity drops.

    Too bad everyone isn’t honest enough to use their real name as Rob and I do.

  • JazzyKat

    What I’ve noticed about all of these issues – is Obama is continually on the defense!…which is a good thing.

    He scurries to distance himself from Rev. Wright; tries to deny his long-time radical abortion stance for the murder of babies who survive abortions; his long-time terrorists connections; and now ACORN. He’s trying to fool people who are not informed, but only staunch Democrats and liberal media pundits who would vote for the Antichrist or Lucifer himself, if he run on the Democratic ticket, are fooled.

    I believe this information about him is circling cyber-space with e-mails and blogs such as this one and more and more people are hearing things that will cause them to pause when they reach that voting booth. Hopefully, they will not vote for him when the rubber meets the road!

    But it’s disturbing that ACORN and the Democrats are going all out in Ohio to score as many votes as they can for Obama. The fraudulent voting was reported on Greta’s show on Fox News last night. A lady was interviewed who said they were going everywhere and picking up homeless people and bringing them to vote. Greta asked her if they were telling them to vote for Obama and she said yes, of course. They are voting early and voting often. It’s the Chicago way – transplanted to Ohio.

    Sadly, we are in the waning days of our great country.

    How can we get a legitimate election completed with this predominant type of lying and the predominant majority of the people who live here believing this fraud?

    This is another case of political correctness run amok. The media DARE NOT call him on it as they will be swarmed with race-baiters and the ACLU.

    The louder we scream it from the hill tops that this bastard [yes he is] is nothing but a Marxist puppet, the more it is ignored by the government and the media. A paid-for, George Soros, puppet.

    What a naive populace “we” have become. Being led to the slaughter by politicians and a LAZY citizenry.

    The democrat party has long been seized by the commies and now we are reaping the seeds sown by the enlightened elite.

    God help us all……

    tothestars2:

    You bring up a good point. I have wondered that for a long time. We have the same thing in ND on the Indian Reservations, that vote nearly 100% democrat. Maybe some liberals out there could answer that for us. But I will not hold my breath, because there is no answer.

  • Jack

    BTW, when did ACORN suddenly become the Agent of Goldstein du jour?

  • Jack

    Republican voter-suppression guru Ken Blackwell falsely claimed Barack was an organizer for ACORN.

    Since you get all your news from right-wing emails you’ll believe any lie that comes down the pike.

    Since you’re a conservative you don’t care about the facts. As long as the lie reinforces your immature world view, you’ll swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

  • MMA Grappler

    Obama seems to be a pathological liar.

    He spent 20 years in the pews listening to his hate filled pastor spew anti Americanisms, then said “that’s not the Reverend Wright I knew.”

    He spent years working closely with TERRORIST William Ayers, helping funnel education money away from books and teachers and into Ayers’s radical causes. When some noticed Obama’s CLOSE relationship with Ayers, Obama said that Ayers was a “guy in my neighborhood.”

    He spent years working with, working for, and training Acorn THUGS and now claims he never worked for Acorn.

    PATHOLOGICAL LIAR is the term that most accurately describes the junior senator from Illinoise.

  • 2Hotel9

    jackoff, Barri proudly proclaimed he worked for and with ACORN. Has done so for 15 years. Now you want to pretend he never worked for and with ACORN. Why is that?

  • Judy

    What about McCain’s connection to organized crime? McCain didn’t seem to find a problem with using the finances and political connections of his father-in-law, Jim Hensley, a man who had close ties with organized crime. In 1948 Hensley was convicted of Federal charges, and in 1977, Hensley had close ties with who many believed was responsible for the murder of Don Bolles, the Arizona Republic reporter. Hensley was also in the thick of it with the Keating 5, of which McCain was one of the “5″. I don’t think Obama serving on a non-profit organization with Ayers (whose illegal activities took place when Obama was a child, and who was now a college professor) comes close to McCain’s affiation with organized crime. In 1995 McCain was also invited to the birthday party of crime boss Joe Banano.

    Rob,

    As you can see lefty lurkers don’t want to be recognized.

    Anonymity is the base tactic for these cowards …. like the irritating little jackals they are…. picking away in little pieces… not enough backbone to outwardly stand for their convictions….

    These folks are on all the open forums in the days leading up to the elections….. seeking the weak in spirit… to attempt to feed their spin and pick off the weak souls…..

  • 2Hotel9

    Oh, but there is an answer. Democrats have gotten exactly what they have been working for throughout these last 4-5 decades. Just as they have with the current financial “crisis”. Democrats have held control of the Congressional Committees and government bureaus which oversee banking, investment, and mortgage institutions and have systematically stripped away the checks and balances that held our, and the rest of the industrialized world’s, in balance.

    Look at their ongoing campaign to destroy Negroes and Indians in America. That is all you need to see to understand what has happened to each and every state and municipality they control.

  • tothestars2

    How come every democratic party controlled state and city have been crumbling under the weight of high taxes, excessive crime, poor schools with low graduation rates, unemployment, inabality to handle disasters, and just plain stupidity?

    Rabid,

    Excellent link and relevant to what we’ve endured sinvce the 1960s. What’s particularly apt is 17 through 21.

    17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

    18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

    19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

    20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

    21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

    Election Thievery
    The left-wing puke “community organizing” [ACORN] has seen a history of its employees being convicted of voter registration fraud. This year already has many of its employees under criminal investigation in multiple states.

    MANY ACORN employees/”community organizer” assistants are ex-cons, and illegal-aliens. These folks are known for implementing aggressive tactics on the elderly, bussing people in from outside their voting district to register, and taking advantage of “motor voter” state rules to register illegals.

    Could it be that ACORN’s all out, borderline militaristic, registration offensive is based on the FACT that Barry-Hussein-Obama is a former lawyer, and senior trainer, for that organization?

    It’s old news but still relevant that in August, the Hussein-Obama campaign got caught with a misreported $830,000 payment to an ACORN subsidiary [Citizens Services Inc.] for ‘election services‘ on its books. It was not indicated correctly at first, by the campaign, where the monies went to.

    Oswaldo – And that ACORN is a commendable association dedicated to honest voter registration…

    As you carry on with your usual litany of lies, this one in particular is quite damning of your character.

    I see that Obama and Joe Biden took the same class: Shamelessly Lying Your Way to the Whitehouse.

  • Oswaldo

    In 1995 McCain was also invited to the birthday party of crime boss Joe Banano.

    Judy, these yoyos are having a ball in this thread because they can spread their BS about ACORN, and listen to all the other yoyos say “yeah, yeah, yeah. Obama bad, McCain good.” I already pointed out in another thread that the Republican party is under investigation for voter registration fraud in a number of states. And that ACORN is a commendable association dedicated to honest voter registration, with a very small percentage of irregularities attributable to a few people used by ACORN and not to the association itself.
    Republicans are desperate, Judy, and will resort to anything to try to account for the fact that all over the country they are being rejected as bad for America. They can’t win fair and square, so they’ll stoop to the kind of rightwing falsehoods that enabled them to lie themselves into the White House and to lie us into the invasion of Iraq. That they are losing in the polls is not surprising, considering what they have done to our country. They got us into an unnecessary war instead of going after the real enemy who attacked us on 9/11. They destroyed our economy and our image around the world.
    They were extolling the virtues of George W. Bush throughout his administration and now flip flop against him and all the things that he stands for and that they supported with him, because they hope to get more Americans on their side that way, even claiming now that it was the Democrats who were working with Bad Bush and were responsible for all the bad things that have befallen our country.
    The present Republicans Party is a not good for America. How can we trust a party to run our country when it doesn’t even know how to choose a presidential candidate acceptable to the majority of our people, having chosen a flip-flopping McCain over a number of other better potential Republican presidential possibilities, like Romney or Giuliani or a Romney/Giuliani ticket?
    So don’t worry Judy. Let them spout their nonsense to their heart’s content. It’s all meaningless twaddle.

    Oct. 13, 2007, PRNewswire
    A Florida state attorney is investigating thousands of potentially fraudulent voter registrations associated with the leading organizer of Florida’s Amendment 5 ballot initiative. But this is just the tip of an iceberg of illegalities, fraud and contradictions connected to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) … Former ACORN Miami-Dade field director Mac Stuart has declared an intent to sue ACORN and has made charges of rampant voter fraud operations. Stuart was employed and specifically tasked by ACORN to generate 103,000 new voter registrations from Dade County. He reports that ACORN threw out Republican registrations while paying for Democratic ones. Stuart also charges that ACORN targeted ex-cons and that he personally set up registration tables outside the Miami police department and Dade County jail.

    New Mexico
    Sept. 18, 2008, Judicial Watch Blog
    This week officials in New Mexico’s most populous county (Bernalillo) notified federal authorities that more than 1,000 fraudulent voter registration cards were submitted to the clerk’s office. ACORN, which pays workers for each registration, is the prime suspect since it has handled thousands of new voter registrations in New Mexico since January. County workers subsequently discovered that at least 1,100 new registrations list Social Security numbers for people already in the county’s database of registered voters, names of registered voters with different birth dates and addresses that don’t exist.

    Wisconsin
    Aug. 6, 2008, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
    Criminal investigations could be launched against at least six voter registration workers who tried to add dead, imprisoned or imaginary people to the voter rolls, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the organization that employed them. “One woman called us to complain because her husband has been dead for 10 years and a voter registration was submitted,” Edman said. In about 12 cases, deputy registrars paid by ACORN were “making people up or registering people that were still in prison,” said Carolyn Castore, ACORN’s state political director. And in other cases, workers used the same address for numerous voters or used driver’s license numbers that did not fit the voters’ birth dates, Edman said. But most of the fraud involved submitting duplicate cards for voters who were already registered, and forging the voters’ signatures, Castore said.

    Ohio
    August 27, 2008, The Plain Dealer
    A national organization that conducts voter registration drives for low-income people has curtailed its push in Cuyahoga County after the Board of Elections accused its workers of submitting fraudulent registration cards. Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant. ACORN has submitted about 75,000 voter registration cards to the Cuyahoga board this year.

    Pennsylvania
    Sept. 18, 2008, The Bulletin: Philadelphia’s Family Newspaper
    Philadelphia election officials recently accused ACORN, of filing multiple fraudulent voter registrations during the 2008 Pennsylvania primary. The case has been referred to the U.S. Attorney’s office, according to Philadelphia Deputy Election Commissioner Fred Voight. Delaware County election officials have made similar allegations against the group, and criminal indictments are pending. This past July 24, Dauphin County detectives offered a $2,000 reward for information about the whereabouts of Luis R. Torres-Serrano, an ACORN worker, who was accused of submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registrations.

    ACORN is under investigation by the Attorney General here in Louisiana, also. You might credit Congressman William “Cold Cash” Jeffersons ability to make it to the Run-Off election, despite the fact he has been indicted on 16 Federal Felony charges, to the efforts of Obama’s ACORN Thugs.

    Shouldn’t they reimburse the states for the time the election offices have had to spend going through all those fraudulent forms? If they will pay for every new DNC form, they should pay for every bad address, duplicate SS number, wrong birthday, and dead body attempting to register to vote.

    Oswaldo,

    You can try to spin it however you like with regards to ACORN and Obama’s ties to them. There’s more than just mere coincidence going on. ACORN is completely crooked. They’ve been caught MULTIPLE times now and in MULTIPLE areas of the country. That’s not an irregularity, that’s a TREND.

    They may have began as a group to help low income families, but they’ve evolved into something less than charitable.

    I agree with you that McCain isn’t my choice for a Republican president. Ron Paul was the epitome of a true Republican. I couldn’t support Romney or Huckabee, simply because they promote their religious beliefs along with their political ones. I feel I may have to vote for McCain this year, as he’ll at least have the power of VETO that Sen. Obama will probably never use against a Democrat majority, as well as the fact that Bob Barr has a snowball’s chance in hell right now.

    To my knowledge, both the Florida and Ohio voting records have been reviewed (by the liberal media, no less) and found to consist of no more voting irregularities than ever occur (we always have some).

    ACORN, on the other hand, has been found guilty of submitting hundreds of thousands of phony voter registrations.

    See the difference? Probably not. But I tried.

    He’s not a messiah, hes the next POTUS.

    I notice you’re not answering the question…
