Obama Seeks Distance From Acorn–Good Luck With That, Barry
By Uppity Woman on October 15, 2008 at 6:30 AM in ACORN, Barack Obama
And now, for your daily chuckle: Is this guy a pathological liar or what? Is there such a thing as a modern-day Pinocchio? You know, where the ears grow instead of the nose?
I mean, there is so much proof of his connection to ACORN, this is laughable. But CNN and MSNBC will cover it, you “betcha”. If McCain doesn’t use this well, he is just asking to lose.
From Boston.com:
Obama Seeks Distance From Acorn
Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor October 14, 2008 05:24 PM
Barack Obama took time out from debate preparations today to weigh in on the increasingly loud controversy over an activist group’s voter registration drive.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, claims to have registered 1.3 million young people, minorities, and working-class voters. But some of those registration cards have listed dead or nonexistent people and are being investigated in at least eight states.
Republican John McCain, and today his running mate Sarah Palin, have called on Obama to take control of ACORN’s activities. “Obama has a responsibility to rein in ACORN and prove that he is willing to fight voter fraud,” she told radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh today.
But Obama told reporters in Ohio today that he his campaign has no direct ties with ACORN and that he is concerned that the criticism is designed to discourage voters.
“We’ve got the best voter registration, turnout, and volunteer operation in politics right and we don’t need ACORN’s help,” Obama said. “What I want to make sure of, though, is that this is not used as an excuse for the kind of voter suppression tactics that we’ve seen in the past. Let’s make sure everybody is voting, everybody is registered, everybody is doing this is a lawful way.”
On Friday, six GOP leaders wrote to Attorney General Michael Mukasey to urge him to make sure ballots by ineligible or fraudulent voters are not counted on Nov. 4, the Associated Press reports.
Well looky here! How did THIS get in here? Why…why I found it at The Real Barack Obama, where you should go to read the rest of the article. Because, Barack, nobody likes a lying sack of crap.
That animation made my morning. Thanks UW
Mine, too!
DITTO!…UPPITY YOU ROCK!
Double ditto!
Meanwhile, check out this craziness by his wife
Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API.
Posted by africanpress on October 15, 2008
Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.
When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.”
This is a very interesting turn of events. The American man Dr Corsi was recently reported to have been arrested in Kenya because there was fear that he might reveal information on Obama when he wanted to hold a press conference in Nairobi.
The question now is why he was arrested and who ordered his arrest. Was Obama’s hand in this in any way? We will never know the truth but what is clear is that Dr Corsi was seen as a threat while in Kenya.
When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.
When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.
On Farakhan and his ministry, Mrs Obama told API that it was unfortunate that Mr Farakhan came out the way he did supporting her husband openly before the elections was over. That was not wholehearted support but one that was calculated to convince the American people that my husband will support the growth of muslim faith if he became the president, adding “even if my husband was able to prove that he is not a Muslim, he will not be believed by those who have come out strongly to destroy his chances of being the next President. Do real people expect someone to deny a religion when 80 percent of his relatives are Muslims?; Mrs Obama asked.
Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.

Take the phone away from Michelle. She is becoming the new Martha Mitchell.
Interesting how API does not fall for her tantrums.
I have been to that website and it looks legitimate. I wonder if someone from here can call them and talk to the person who took that call? Do a follow up and see how they knew who they were really talking to. See how she accused whites of being racists? There are others among us who are non white who oppose them as well. I say them, because they are a package. In fact I think she runs that horse and pony show.
Its trolls passing this supposed conversation around. They want us to look bad by grabbing onto & then they can say, look they are racist. Please don’t spread this any further.
Think about it. Any 5th grader would have turned on the recorder when they heard it was MO on the phone. No recording? Then, its their word against hers & PUMAs come off looking bad by passing it around.
Oh please. I’d love to see this much demand for substantiation made for MSM stories. For example, that McCain supporters are screaming for Obama’s death.
You don’t fight the MSM fraud by spreading that nonsense story about Michelle. That would be hypocritical. The admin has stated they do not want it posted and it will be removed. And I agree.
I contend API is just as Credible as CBS
If you’re making a claim they are not legitimate what is the evidence?
I am making n claims they are illegitimate. The story is absurd and must be verified.
This entire election has been absurd
If back in 2004 if someone tried to warn everyone of all the things we now know of Obama I’m sure we’d be hearing the same cries “how absurd”
I learned one thing… don’t assume that other people limit their behavior by the moral calculus that you (not you specifically) have.
The story is absurd because she would not say a lot of what is in it this late in the election in an interview. You have an obligation to verify something that inflammatory before spreading it.
Admin will remove it. Keep blasting it as you are if you spot it.
I saw down below you mention the admin asked people not to mention this story.
I wasn’t aware of that request, had I known about it, i would have complied.
I am sure it is cool. Tensions are high and will only get higher. We have to stick together during these touch times of a hypercritical election.
oh by the way lisa.. i really appreciate being called a “troll”
You are showing your age. As am I by admitting I understand your reference to Martha Mitchell. I actually think Martha might have been right and just made to look crazy by her corrupt husband. As for Michelle…….
I am still shocked that she empathized with a group of working class women in Ohio during the primaries by telling them she and Barack also had it hard financially what with all those Ivy League loans and the $10,000 they just had to spend on lessons for their kids. She is so compassionate - for a spoiled brat!

OOOPPPs! We know what ‘appened to Martha Mitchell. (Not funny)
Seriously, the tacky tactics of the Obama swift-reaction team is to dismiss all criticism of their boy (his age, now, now; not a racial thing)
regard his history by calling it “old news.”
They say McCain is making a strategic mistake conjuring up the unsavory side of the Messiah.
That the American people are more savvy than that.
Why people do change, is their mantra; uh, and so do a tiger’s stripes–no, not really; a tiger’s stripes are skin deep, never change and neither do self-confessed sociopaths. You give them a little slack and they just continue to burn down the barn. Or the country or the U.S. Constitution.
I have visions of Louis Farakkhan giving the invocation at Barry’s inauguration; or Father
Pfleger being tapped for the role of Congressional pastor.
Oh my God!
Who says it? The Obama MSM???
McCain’s going for Obama’s jugular. And that’s exactly what he’s suppose to do! Obama’s an underqualified fraud and crook that needs to be exposed to the American voting public (because the MSM’s not going to do it all by themselves) before it is too late.
Careful with this story. It seems just a bit too convenient. A bait and switch perhaps to distract our focus on the ACORN story, which is gaining coverage in the media, and something that may finally stick to Mr. O.
API had better be careful, Michelle may decide to do a winnie and hang burning tires around their necks.
“…but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.”
Oh no she did-n’t!!!
GOOD MORNIN MIMI…AND I’ve got a braclet too…It’s goin to be a fun debate…tonite.
I know Mimi!
Isn’t this a line of attack in the Black community against any of us who aren’t backing Obama? That we’re just “jellus?” That we have “crabs in a barrel” mentality?
Heaven forbid that we point out the obvious truths: that Obama’s an inexperienced, backstabbing, dirty Chicago politician with MANY dangerous friends.
Oh, noooooooo - we’re just “jellus.”
I know.
But this is a democracy and we’re having an election. That won’t work.
First of all, I don’t view 0bama as AA. He only appears that way physically. He was raised in a household with his white family. Not that there is anything wrong with that. This is about him not having any sociological connection to me and my experience.
I have biracial friends who can pass for white. If 0bama looked like them, no one in the black community would have taken him seriously, no matter how experienced he was.
If this story has been verified, then why did 0bama never mention he was adopted by Soetoro? There’s too much secrecy with this guy. Even if he was a pure AA, with this background, I would never vote for him.
And that’s the way it is for me.
The 0bamas have ROBBED me of any ethnic pride I would feel at having an AA as P0TUS and First Lady. I’d feel that way with a latino and Asian or Native American because it would be a first and a testament to the American Dream and the greatness of America. I see the 0bamas as Chicago Sleeze. I want nothing to do with them!
Please vote McCain/Palin!
Update from the API website:
Uh oh,…..
At first, I was beginning to believe what everyone else was thinking about this story - that it was a bunch of crap possibly planted by the Obama camp as a distraction.
Now I wonder….
Can anyone contact the API to check out this story for legitimacy & an audio tape of the conversation?

YEAH….Barky also wants to protect ACORN…Sheeesh!
How does ACORN recieve federal money when it is clearly partisan? Why is this not being asked?
The federal money was granted to ACORN by the Community Re-investment Act of 1977 and updated by President Clinton during his administration. The pupose is to fund “counseling” to help lower income people get a mortgage.
Unfortunately, the Act allows ACORN to use the “roolze” to force lenders to make these mortgages and give ACORN the legal basis to punish them if they don’t comply.
Isn’t it convenient that ACORN has had the backing of Sen. Obama, a good Constitutional lawyer, who has an interest in the “roolze”.
It’s time to re-visit the Community Re-investment Act and make sure that the people ACORN ’serves’ benefit, instead of enriching this nefarious organization.
Hopefully Obama will continue making blanket denials left and right. Those will make good soundbytes later. It’s always the coverup that brings them down.
How can he say that his campaign is not directly involved with ACORN when the campaign has paid ACORN or its “cover” organizations more than $800,000 ? They are so protected by the press that they don’t even have to blush when they bullshit.
This is symptomatic of the deep radical elements that rally continually around Barack HUSSEIN Obama
like maggots to a decaying corpse. A bit graphic perhaps … But it’s a great analogy.
How can Obama claim that his campaign is not directly involved with ACORN? The ‘technical’ word for that is “lying”.
TONIGHT IT WILL BE OVER FOR BAMBI ALL HIS PAST AND PRESENT ASSOCIATIONS WITH HIS LOUSY FRIENDS WILL CATCH UP WITH HIM
I FORGOT HE DIES AND GOES TO PARADISE AND ALLAH
GREATS HIM

Does this make you feel good about who you are? Did you mother or father teach you anything about being a good human being?
Very sad. Very sad indeed. I’ll pray for you.
STFU LISAVA…who are you our mommy!…sheeesh!
O di Immortales! Vacca Foeda!
I have to say workingclass artist, I am jealous of your knowledge of latin.
You make me want to study it.
“Does this make you feel good about who you are, Stanley Anne? Pre-Maritial Sex with that smelly Kenyan Goatherder? Didn’t your mother or father teach you anything about being a good human being?” rhetorically demanded the harried Madelyn. “Very Sad. Very Sad indeed. I’ll pray for you, Girl!”
“Fuck You, Mommy!” snarled the hate-filled pregnant Teen Commie. “Barack Obama makes me feel good! Pray for me all you want, Old White Lady! You know I hate God! I hate God almost as much as I hate this country!”
ACORN organized for Obama during the Ohio primary? Did they organize for Obama during other primaries? And did they do this in coordination with the Obama campaign? The message from the Ohio ACORN representative implies they did.
Of course they did. Can you imagine them sitting back and not doing all they could? No way.
My theory is ACORN are behind the bussing to the rigged caucuses (or cauci.)
BINGO!…THEY BUSSED THEM INTO TEXAS…BARKY PAID FOR IT
Thanks for a good laugh this morning. Now I’m going to expect the ear wiggle during the debate.

Too bad McCain doesn’t have a copy of Ob’s Birth Certificate.
Or the whitey tape.
Or some of OB’s wedding pictures.
Something
Is this a joke to you? Is your country and the electoral process a joke to you?
Very sad. You are a sad person. Hopefully you will find some peace someday.
This is not a joke to me. I am hoping that McCain has something in his back pocket that will make MSM report. Otherwise MSM will go on covering for Obama but they couldn’t cover something that important.
I am stressing that Obama may win and he has not earned that Presidency privilege.
Fascists are not well known for their sense of humor….Lisava…Give me a break…sheeesh!
Are you so sure he doesn’t?
I am praying every day that he does have something.
Most people watch cbs, abc or nbc and are not informed.
If McCain has something he will win and we need him to win.
Everytime I see or hear Obama I see and hear danger and I have 5 children to protect.
You can have my 401k but you can not have my vote.

Just a reminder of an xcellent and on Barky and his economic…er…judgement…
In the last ACORN thread someone linked to a fox news site which reported that a person noticed and illegal charge to their Chase credit card for over $2000. They called Chase and Chase removed the charge for them. But did Chase get the money back from Obama? If Chase didn’t wouldn’t this constitute an illegal campaign contribution? Does Chase support Obama? Is this some kind of reverse money laundering scheme?
Excellent question.
Let’s ask them.

Disband ACORN and all other voter registration groups. They should be illegal. I had to go to my CourtHouse, show identification and fill out forms. They should, too. Better yet…from this point on, make sure they are all notarized.

*** A Dream is a wish your heart makes ***
TWO THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN TODAY, 10/15/08
There will be a debate which will change little.
401K reports will be mailed out, which will favor Obama.
It is VERY important that McCain hit Obama quickly on ACORN etc. and tie it as a matter of trust to the Economy, which is the real issue.
Obama’s associations with ACORN, Rev. Wright, etc and his ties to Frank, Dodd Fanny & Freddy show a pattern of bad judgement to lead.
Link the sick sinking feeling everyone is going to have when they open their 401K report directly to Obama, Frank, Dodd, Fanny & Freddy.
Who got money from Fanny & Freddy???
Who blocked regulation of Fanny & Freddy???
Who stood up for the taxpayer???
Who sold them out????
Who invested $800,000 in voter fraud???
Who chose the CEO of Freddy to vet his V.P.?????
Who supported a “Bail Out that gave 20% to ACORN???
Who suspended his Campaign to come back to Washington to stop it???
There is still a Chance to win this and McCain is a good closer.
Go get’em Maveric!
OOPS! Here’s the K that fell off Maverick!
Good points, William.
It is just such a concern that McCain really has been addressing these things and the media fails to cover it.
They hide and spin information and then claim McCain is not running a good campaign.
He has been talking non stop about the economy for weeks, but recieves no credit.
He has had a central message; Country First, Government should work FOR us, the media ignores it.
He has drawn contrasts between he and Poor Judgment Barry, the media ignores it.
He has proven himself a leader and has an exemplary record, the media ignores it.
I’d like someone to explain how a campaign strategy is created that can possibly combat fraud and media corruption.
Uuugghhh!
Anyone getting a 401k report already knows what is happening and is aware of Mon’s 936 pt gain. The reports aren’t going to sway any undecided voters. Besides, I reject the notion that continued talk about the economy favors Obama.
Great Post Uppity! Why he could no more deny ACORN than his racist Uncle Rev. Wrong!
It was just a boneheaded mistake to take hundreds of thousands of dollars and a mansion from 16 counts of public corruption convicted Tony “The Fixer” Rezko.
And those terrorists in his felon funded neighborhood - Ayers (stomping on the flag on 9/11/2001 and still promoting anarchy last November) and Dohrn - in whose living room he launched his Senate career — just some living room.
Aren’t you a communist who has been endorsed by the communist party?
Didn’t you spend Spring Break in communist dictatorship Pakistan on your Indonesian passport?
Louis Farrakhan - just another guy in the hood and a Church magazine fellow honoree!
(That’s some great Church the Rev. Wrong spewed at for 20 years of Oblowme’s “missed all the bad parts” years.)
Oblowme was a HUGE ACORN creep, but that’s not the ACORN he knew, so he’s giving it nearly $1M.
The Oblowmes are the ultimate LIARS/posers.
Please teach the kiddies and other unenlightened folks a lesson in decency in November.
Let the man who fought and suffered for his country guide it.
How is Jesse Jackson today?
lol….I imagine Jesse is gaggin on Waffles…chuckle….aaaand OJ
Didn’t think you could get thrown under the bus 2X, but Jesse proved me wrong.
OBAMA IS ARAB AND ARABS ARE MUSLIMS. GO FIGURE
That is not true. A majority of Arabs are Muslims, but not all of them. I refuse to vote for Obama, but that is not the reason why.
You’re a moron who lowers the quality of discourse here with that sort of all-caps, mouth breathing, Free Republic hate speech crap. Arabs are Muslims, Christians, Jews and nothing at all.
If you knew anything about Muslims, or Arabs, you wouldn’t even blather like that. Of course, we know what your goal is, you closeted Obot, you…Did you know Yassir Arafat’s widow is a Christian?
How about the famous entertainer Danny Thomas, from Lebanon? Think he was a Muslim? Think again. How about Helen Thomas? George Mitchell?
You’re stupid. Go get educated.
There are plenty of reasons to take issue with Obama. Bullshit, made up lies from Obots pretending to be moronic far right wing assholes don’t fly here.
Michelle Obama EXPLODES at the African Press, admitting that BO WAS adopted by Indonesian Soteoro.
[UNVERIFIED INFLAMATORY STORY REMOVED]
The story has NOT been verified and is not credible and the admin has asked it not be posted on NQ.
Are you saying that this is a crock? A bunch of lies?
It is not a credible story. Do you honestly believe this late in the election she would say a lot of what is in it? This is not rocket science: absurd information requires verification on the off chance it is legit. Is it a crock? Sure seems so.
“For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country..”
Yeah, I can believe it.
Galt…based on your logic… Jesse Jackson of those mean zionists fame…didn’t make his recent comments…no?
Jackson comments were widely reported on news sources and not just a blog. I don’t see the logic in your reasoning.
I can believe it too.
M0 was front and center at the beginning of her husband’s campaign. She had so much wisdom to impart to the unwashed masses, she was…RELEVANT.
Imagine how she feels being muzzled. Why wouldn’t she erupt at the one news outlet she considered “safe”, whom she imagined would be cowed by her charges of racism?
Truth is…ANY MENTION OF ISSUES IN BERG V OBAMA LAWSUIT…MAKES THE PUBLIC AWARE AND THAT MAY NOT BE A BAD THING…
Of course this is my opinion…and like my caucus vote in Texas may be worth about as much…I’m just sayin’
People do dumb and stupid things when the stress starts to take its toll. If she did say these things it could be that she is breaking under the pressure. I ersonaly do not doubt she could say and do these things , but we will have to wait and see if it is offical that it is her. If BO puts it on the smears board then it must be true.
Besides it is not saying anything that those of us here at noquarter did not already know. This is why they put the gag on her. She is a loose cannon. YIPPIE for US!!
Frankly? YES!
The Obamas really think they have this election all sewn up. The Wall Street corporations, the MSM, and the Obamabrats are all feeding this delusion. And Barack himself is arrogant as hell. So why wouldn’t Michelle feel cocky enough to vent to the API?
Secondly, until now, I’ve never even heard of the API. And I would safely bet that the VAST majority of Americans have never heard of the API. How many Americans check the API for daily news? The API is in Africa. So - once again - Michelle probably thought that her rant would be completely under the radar. That it would go unnoticed by most Americans.
And then there’s the Berg lawsuit. Obama and the DNC are quietly fighting the lawsuit in Pennsylvania and obviously Obama STILL hasn’t turned over his original birth certificate to the PA judge. As time is running out, this case is a silent time bomb - waiting to explode at any moment (not directly through the MSM though). It now looks like some close to Obama over in Kenya are beginning to cooperate with the people involved in the Berg case. And that has to have the Obamas seriously on edge. This could definitely motivate Michelle to confront the API for reporting all of these developments.
Now obviously, this API story hasn’t been confirmed yet - if at all. Therefore, it is wise at this point to take this story with a grain of salt. But, today the API has stated on their blog that they’re willing to confirm their story by disclosing evidence of Michelle’s conversation to interested parties.
We’ll know whether or not the API is telling the truth soon…..
To answer your first question, YES, YES Obama is a pathological liar.
And no surprise that ACORN lies too. But they both went to the same school of radical organizing so it’s no surprize they act the same.
LOL UW, great post…those big ears.
yep, Obama is a lyin’ sack of shit. McCain better bring it up. The $800,000 donation is going to do him in along w his early days of training Acorn workers, being a lawyer to intimidate banks for them and now giving them money to help commit voter fraud.
NAIL HIS ASS TO THE WALL NOW!!
LOVE those dumbo ears! WTG, Uppity.! Thanks for the laugh.
