Rambi,
Obama didn't work for ACORN. I forget the name of the outfit but that's not it. But ACORN is a fine outfit to work for. Done some terrific work in housing in poor urban neighborhoods.
Here's the wikipedia url for ACORN.

Here's the opening blurb from the wikipedia material.
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a community organization of low- and moderate-income families that addresses housing, schools, neighborhood safety, health care, job conditions, and other social issues that affect its members. With a membership of over 350,000, ACORN is organized into more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States, as well as in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru. The organization was born out of the American Civil Rights Movement. ACORN was founded in 1970 by Wade Rathke, George Wiley, and Gary Delgado.[1] Maude Hurd has been National President of ACORN since 1990. |
