Obama: “I didn’t know ACORN was getting Federal money”

Sure, and he never heard one of Jeremiah Wright’s anti-white tirades when he attended Trinity United “Christian” Church for 20+ years either.

Pretty much like everything else, Obama’s just not credible on this issue anymore.

Obama used ACORN during his political campaign, paying them in excess of $800,000 dollars to register voters for his campaign.  This blog disclosed that along with the video of Obama speaking at an ACORN event in December of 2007 in which he stated clearly that ACORN would “help shape his agenda.”    To say he “didn’t know” ACORN was getting Federal (read that: TAXPAYER) money is nothing but Obama lying – again.

But don’t take my word for it, a picture’s worth a thousand words:

There are lies, and there are damn’ lies.  This picture proves that Obama is a damn’ liar.

Then there’s this video that we published in October of 2008 showing OBama speaking to an ACORN Presidential Forum in December of 2007  saying ACORN would shape his Presidential agenda.  This is the same ACORN that Obama represented as a young lawyer, suing Chicago banks extorting money to force them to lend money to those that could not repay a mortgage.  The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we are all in today.

Obama taught classes for ACORN.  ACORN endorsed Obama for President.  As a young lawyer, Obama worked for ACORN.  As a Presidential Candidate, Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 to “register voters” on behalf of his campaign.

For Obama to say he didn’t know ACORN was corrupt simply shatters any semblance of credibility he thinks he might have had.

This “President” doesn’t know how to do anything but lie to you and I and the rest of the American people.  He was a liar then, he’s a liar now – on every issue from the Economic Stimulus to Housing to Health Care reform, the Banking Crisis (which he helped create!) and beyond.

You can bet the farm that Obama knows exactly how corrupt ACORN is, and it’s only a matter of time (as Jeremiah Wright says) until Obama’s “chickens come home to roost.”
