Investor's Business Daily has caught up with Stanley Kurtz's devastating in-depth investigative piece on Obama's role in helping to corrupt bank mortgage lending practices in Chicago. He advised and as a lawyer representated ACORN in its confrontational tactics to intimidate banks into making loans to credit unworthy borrowers. Working with his comrade socialIst the unrepentant terrorist bomber William Ayers, he also steered charitable funds to ACORN for its radical activities.
The IDB editorial notes the various ways that Obama helped ACORN; for example:
In the early 1990s, reports Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Policy Center, Obama was personally recruited by Chicago's ACORN to run training sessions in "direct action." That's the euphemism for the techniques used under the cover of the federal Community Reinvestment Act to intimidate financial institutions into giving what have been called "Ninja" loans — no income, no job, no assets — to people who couldn't afford them.
ACORN has also been knee-deep in voter registration and has been investigated for and accused of vote fraud on many occasions. Several of its workers were sent to jail in Washington State for their involvement in a massive voter fraud.
Did Obama train ACORN workers in voter registration as well? With his long relationship with ACORN he must be aware of their chronic problem with voter fraud charges.
Nonetheless, Obama's campaign is reported to have hired ACORN's voter registration arm in the primary campaign against Hillary Clinton and paid some $800,000 for their services, despite their less than stellar record of obeying the law on voter registration.
ACORN has launched a massive voter registration effort for Obama throughout the country. Reports of vote fraud investigations of ACORN are coming from key electoral battlegrounds such as Ohio, MIssouri, Wisconsin and New Mexico.
Some may well wonder if ACORN will try to steal the election for their friend and mentor Barack Obama.

We do know that Obama has said his current views aren't so different from when he was learning the techniques of Alinsky socialism and putting them into practice with ACORN in Chicago.
