“I don’t agree with Obama’s policies, but if he does at least allow legitimate investigations into ACORN’s antics, I won’t criticize him for it.”
You are naive.
What did he see? Did he see employees of an organization which receives federal funds conspiring to turn little girls into whores? Or did he see people who refuse him as a ruler digging into to stuff that is best left to the elites?
Wanting to see the best in the office of the president must be suspended at this point. Taking this man at his word requires that you chew on those words, swirl them around and think in lawyerspeak before you decide what to think.
I really have to ask God every day to help me not hate obama.
I'll take that as a NO, in regards to the question asked.
Hey, I didn’t post that statement! I only pasted it before my reply. I think you meant to reply to someone else.
This lying bunch of reprobates will say anything to save their sorry asses.....
...Obama is attached to ACORN like stink is to shit...
...when the ACORN headquarters in N.O. is raided, their computers are taken, their bank account is frozen and the Rat-ski brothers are frog-marched down the street by the FBI is the day that I will start believing that Obama has indeed thrown ACORN under the bus...
...anything less lets them off scot-free.
They will be investigated, and they will get a clean bill of health. You heard it first here.
I didn’t see it but read somewhere that 0’s exact comment left doubt as to whether he meant ACORN should be investigated or the pimp and the prostitute along with FOX should be investigated. That sounds more like 0.
I think you're right. If it gets nasty enough and some acorn nuts go to jail, they'll get a pardon when bho leaves. Thats a best case scenario though (jail time, that is).

Title: Immigration / "Illegal Immigrants Can Buy Homes" (Indocumentados Pueden Comprar Casa) by Delinés Batlle
(BEGIN TRANSLATION) PUBLISHED: September 7, 2005 at 12:11 pm (ET) UPDATED: 30 September 2005, at 9:16 am (eastern)
NEW YORK, NY. -- Thanks to an initiative of private banking it is now possible for illegal immigrants to buy homes in the United States without having a social security number.
A new program helps immigrants who can not afford home to fulfill their American dream.
Elena Hernandez has long had the dream of buying a home, but has not succeeded, she said not to have immigration papers.
The Mexican immigrant said: "I believe I have closed the doors to buy a house because I have a card from social insurance number, so without social security number can not do anything."
Historically, immigrants who have purchased home in the United States have done so under some risk, with false documents or with the help of others.
"There are people who do have their own, but are in the name of another person who does have legal documents.
But now Citigroup have joined ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform , to help immigrants to buy your house even without social security number.
What if the ITIN is needed, the number that gives the federal government for people without Social Security can pay their taxes.
"They should bring copies of 2 recent bank statements, 3 most recent check stubs and tax returns for the last 2 years."
Furthermore, it should be 3 or 4 lines of credit, although that include rent receipts, electricity or water.
The advantages of having these mortgages available to certain undocumented, is that one need only have 3% down payment or initial payment and get an interest rate down to 1 point lower than in the market.
It is important that all concerned know that this new program is available only through the centers of ACORN Housing Corporation, in the following communities:
New York -- New Jersey -- Bridgeport, CT -- Washington DC -- Miami -- Baltimore, MD -- Chicago -- California
For more information, please visit the Internet • ACORN HOUSING and under "ACORN Housing and Citigroup Partner on Remarkable Home Loan Product" for more information. For the office nearest you see • ACORN in Spanish.

Here is the exact comment (I found it on biggovernment.com):
“Obama told ABC’s “This Week” in an interview broadcast Sunday that what he saw on the video “was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated.”
Who and what does he think was inappropriate; entrapment by the pimp and prostitute who were filming without permission and Glen Beck’s production, or ACORN? He was careful to leave plenty of wiggle room.
Thanks for your GREAT post AND the LINK!!
At this rate of throwing supporters under the bus, Obama won’t have any supporters left.
misdeeds should be investigated...what about ACORN
Exactly. Unlike GWB, Captain Wee Wee has a grasp of syntax and slick words, and uses it to his benefit.
His carefully-calculated statement did two things: threw the employees under the bus, while shielding the upper management from scrutiny.
lies by omission are still lies
and a half assed investigation can deliberately blow the case if that is the intended outcome
So, as far as Acorn is concerned, I think Obama is hoping that after a while the public will just forget about this and he can sweep it under the rug.
If, he is going to do anything...that under the bus place he has tossed so many won't hold many more. It's becoming more like "Under the Boardwalk" every day.
The list, ping
