McCain gave a speech, big deal. Obama sued banks to force them to take advantage of the poor with high interest loans.

"Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago 'community organizer' at ACORN's side. In 1992 he led voter-registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included ACORN. This past November, he lauded ACORN's leaders for being 'smack dab in the middle' of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for ACORN in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls. "During his tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to ACORN. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an ACORN affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for 'staging, sound, lighting.' It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote."

WR, > Do you have trouble reading? I'll try it in short words. Repeating yourself in a patronizing tone doesn't help you advance your argument. It just proves that you are unwilling to look deeper into the relationship between Obama and ACORN. Doesn't matter to me if McCain gave a speech to them one time. The question is how closely Obama worked with ACORN and why Obama is trying to put some distance between himself and ACORN now. Denial isn't going to get you anywhere, unless you think the mainstream media has a monopoly on the truth ... Tenchusatsu
