Z, > So tell us what the relevant facts are and why they matter. How come Obama's own "Fight The Smears" web site only lists the work he did representing ACORN in a lawsuit? fightthesmears.com Why should we have to rely on OpinionJournal to "fill in the blanks" in Obama's resume? online.wsj.com > 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. Why does it matter? Well you tell us. What does Obama have to hide? Why not just come out and say, "Yes I did all that, and here's why"? Even on his own web site? Don't tell me it's out of fear that the mean ole nasty Republicans would go after him. Seems like you can justify anything these days by pointing out how mean and nasty the opposition is. Tenchusatsu
