Maybe Barry will "answer"

these new revelations by Stanley Kurtz. Barry and Ayers, while at Woods and CAC, funnelled lots of money to ACORN. ACORN pressured banks to make these crappy loans. When the banks balked, saying that Freddie and Fannie wouldn't buy the loans bc of their stricter standards, ACORN went to the Dems in DC and pressured them to loosen the standards. That is the genesis of this whole mess. Plus Barry was a "trainer" at ACORN, was tight with the Chicago bigwigs at ACORN, and filed suits on its behalf against Citibank and others to force them to make crappy loans.

Just a guy in my neighborhood??? No wonder Barry lied.

Does any of that trouble you?

How about the fact that ACORN is regularly investigated and indicted for voter fraud? Should a presidential candidate be tight with these people? Only if he believes what they believe.

There's more to the ACORN fraud stories than you think. ACORN is required by law to turn in all the forms they collect. In Nevada, they describe that they themselves flagged the problem ones for which they're now being investigated with fraud. Hang onto your hats about the ACORN fraud stories.

There's really no reason to respond about the other stuff because you're unconvincable. But I can't ever help myself from trying. 1) He never said he's "just a guy in my neighborhood". His answer to Stephanopolous described the current state of their relationship because he thought that's what he was being asked. And the current state of their relationship is that he's a guy in his neighborhood who he doesn't exchange ideas with. The fundraiser was mentioned in the question. He didn't bring up the ancient past of the Woods; it had been in the news all that week and was well documented, so he wasn't concealing anything. And he discussed that too after Hillary brought it up. So get over yourself with thinking he tried to cover up any association other than neighborhood. 2) ACORN like everything has some flaws and has made some mistakes probably. But there's no way you can pin this financial crisis on Obama, when the Rethugs controlled the WH, and the House and the Senate for 6 years during the worst bubbling of the bubble.
