In 1992, Mr. Obama was personally involved in voter registration efforts when he served as director of Project Vote in Chicago, helping to register 150,000 voters on the South Side. His success was widely written about at the time and credited with helping to elect Senator Carol Moseley Braun, the first African-American woman in the Senate.The remainder the the NY Times story tries to downplay the massive voter fraud being perpetrated by the far-left radical ACORN.
Mr. LaBolt emphasized that Project Vote and Acorn were not as intertwined at that time as they are today, when a significant part of Project Vote’s revenues flow to Acorn and various of its affiliates as payment for services.
But according to Sam Graham-Felsen, who blogs on the Obama campaign’s Web site, Mr. Obama himself linked his 1992 work to Acorn in a meeting with Acorn’s leaders in November.
“Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drives in Illinois, Acorn was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work,” Mr. Obama said, according to a post Mr. Graham-Felsen made in February.
You're better off reading this.
Consider:Thanks to Ace for the link.
* ACORN's political-action committee has endorsed Barack Obama.
* Obama's presidential campaign has paid an ACORN front $832,000 for get-out-the-vote activities.
* Before launching his electoral career, Obama was the Illinois coordinator for ACORN's voter-registration group, Project Vote.
* As a lawyer, Obama represented ACORN in a voter-registration suit against the state of Illinois.
* Michelle Obama's old law firm represents ACORN in an embezzlement cover-up case involving the brother of the group's founder.
To date, Obama's campaign has been silent about the ACORN connection, let alone the group's dubious voter-registration efforts.
But that silence speaks volumes about the kind of company Obama keeps - and the lengths to which he and his allies apparently will go to win this election.
