Obama Caught in a Major ACORN Lie
by Jim HoftThe brazen dishonesty of this president is a bit concerning to say the least.
A newly discovered video shows Obama lying to the American people about his relationship with ACORN:
Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) from the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released this video at CPAC of Barack Obama discussing his close partnership with ACORN. Obama talked about his long relationship with ACORN privately in this video before the 2008 election:
“When I ran project vote, the voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it. Once I was elected there wasn’t a campaign that ACORN worked on down in Springfield that I wasn’t right there with you. Since I have been in the United States Senate I’ve been always a partner with ACORN as well. I’ve been fighting with ACORN, along side ACORN, on issues you care about my entire career.”
But, when Barack Obama was confronted about his relationship with ACORN publicly before the election he had an entirely different story. This is what he said in October 2008:
Reporter: Senator McCain today said there was voter fraud going on in the battleground states. ACORN has been tampering with America’s most precious right. There has to be a full investigation and he also said you need to disclose your full relationship with ACORN. I’m wondering if you have any reaction to Senator McCain’s charge?
Barack Obama: Well, first of all my relationship with ACORN is pretty straightforward. It’s probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that investigation was the US Justice department in having Illinois implement what was called the motor voter law, to make sure people could go to DMV’s and driver license facilities to get registered. It wasn’t being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN. There is an ACORN organization in Chicago. They’ve been active. As an elected offiical, I’ve had interactions with them. But, they’re not advising my campaign. We’ve got the best voter registration in politics right now and we don’t need ACORN’s help.
For the record…
ACORN is the largest radical leftist group in America today.
This radical group worked closely with the Obama camp during the election but, the community organizing group was not open about the relationship. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:
One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992. He worked along side ACORN before he became an elected official. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts.
And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama in 2008.
In 2009 Obama promoted a top ACORN operative, Patrick Gaspard, who’s oranization was fined $775,000 for election violations, to a top post in the White House. Gespard is helping shape domestic policy today.
Obama’s ACORN group was banned from receiving federal funds in September after the group was busted on tape promoting the child sex slave trade.

Obama lies about everything; he's worse than the pathologically lying Clintons, who also lie when they don't have to.
Another teleprompter moment. He was just reading the script …
He has a gift for telling lies that are very transparent. Maybe that is the transparency he was talking about.
And this will never get reported by anyone but Breitbart.
gobombo, You have something there, "a trasparent liar"…He sure
is one of the most lying jerks I've ever seen, and like Redcent said,
I thought the Clinton's were some of the best, but Obumble beats
them tenfold……
How ironic, Al Franken's book "Lies and the lying liars that tell them……" And where and what is Mr. Franken now? Up there with the………………wait for it………….the Liar in Chief.
Stand by. The lie to cover the lie when he lied will be a lie. Yup! We get it. He LIES.

I can tell he's about to lie when he flashes his big cheesy smile in the middle of the reporters question. He's so obvious but thinks he's clever. What a joke of a man trying to disguise himself as cool.

I dont know why anyone is surprised by this. This man is a walking lie
Still haven't seen the tape referenced in the last paragraph – "…busted on tape blah blah child prostitution…"
While on the subject of lying, the author of this piece lied about the head of acorn visiting the White House – why should we believe anything he writes, now or in the future? Then apply the same logic to Obama…..
… OT: does anyone know if GatewayPundit is aware that their site has a messed up comment facility? It looks like they put their comment entry field on top of the name and email fields making it impossible to actually use. Did they decided to become a one browser site?
… and of course, Obama is showing himself to be a very fluent liar …
He'll climb a tree to tell you a lie when he could stand on the ground and tell you the truth. Thanks, Jerry Clower.
Noooooo the President told a lie…..nooooo cant be not him.
LIELIELIELIELIELIELIE LOL LIE
*yawn*
People! Obama says what he needs to say to get past a particular moment and come out looking good. Before the 2008 election, 1) it made sense for Obama to say he didn't have a close relationship with ACORN to the MSM and 2)it made sense to say he had a close relationship with ACORN in front of ACORN. See how that works? At then end of the day, the only thing that matters is that Obama gets what he wants. Right?
You can't beleive a word out of Obamas mouth. Only a relative can ask for Obamas birth certificate which would be Scott Brown who is Obamas 10th cousin. Maybe we all need to email Scott Brown to do this and see if he is really for our Country and our Consitution.
I don't think anyone with half a brain is surprised by BO's actions. What is surprising is how the media continues to ignore this guy's every despicable actions and lies as he systematically destroys the country. Very sad and disappointing. Thank God for the "Big" sites.
so will any reporter rise above the fray and ask President Obama or Gibbs about this?
He doesn't listen anyways…He is about to jam down our throats Government run Health care ……..and I like my health care.
Easy to understand, consider his teacher:
Jim, you are doing a fantastic job!
This is a fabulous campaign commercial.
I can't stand looking at, or listening to, Obama or the lionization of him by the Lame Stream Media.
Most of his appointees have been either perverts, criminals or both–that he's caught lying about his affiliation with a miscreant organization is, at this juncture, par for the course. The only time Obama isn't lying is when he's asleep.
This caliber of lying would get most politicians a free ride to the unemployment line–for how much longer will we allow this charlatan to insult our intelligence and disgrace the Presidency?
Well, the same logic can be applied to BHO, since he is a liar and why should we believe anything he says, now or in the future.Prove Jim Hoft has ever lied.BHO's lies are an endless parade.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
It's funny, I told my children the joke, "How can you tell Obama's lying?He's moving his lips". They loved it. ;^)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
The only statement that I can remember as being anywhere CLOSE to the truth was when FUBO kept telling his Kool-Aid drinkers that he was going to 'fundamentally transform this country'!!! But, since what he really wants to do is DESTROY our country, as it was set up, then everything else coming out of his mouth has been lies lies lies………….as we say here in Hawaii…………………….FUBO!!!!!!!!
The last 30 seconds of that clip would have made a fantastic super bowl commercial.
Off with you, leftist; go hug a tree or something–let the adults finish their discussion.
Wow! This surprises anyone…because?
Although they did have an awful lot to lie about, too.
When PIIGS fly…
Politicians don't lie. They just selectivly disregard all truth.
Am I gettin the lingo down?
What a joke we have for a President. He's a spineless man who makes us look weaker and weaker to the rest of the world everyday. He doesn't even stick with the same lie!!!!!! Could you imagine being one of our soldiers right now and having him as your commander and chief? He has an agenda and he'll say whatever he has to to get as much of it done as he can. He knows it will be stopped. How much can he cram through before hes stopped? I hope it stops soon we can't take much more.
If you haven't seen the tapes then you must be living under a rock. I suggest you crawl back under it, worm. Show us proof of your slanderous allegations. We produced our evidence for the whole world to see. Where is yours?
The whole video would be 100% better. Then everyone all at once would see what a spineless loser he is.
I can't stand looking at or listening to him period!!! He makes me physically ill….
If any reporter shows the intestinal fortitude to ask such a question, BHO or Gibbs will just lie about it. ;^)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
The most problematic aspect of all these lies is his seeming lack of embarrassment when exposed.
He just continues to steamroll ahead with blinders on, full speed, which is exactly what I've heard pre-
dicted by some pundits. He's introducing so many new items to the agenda every week, even as a
group we are not able to keep watch on him. GRIDLOCK,…….. I pray for it.
Another data point: All commies are liars.
Wow, this ACORN stuff is clearly the most important thing in the world today, because Obama once worked for this non-profit group a long time ago. Thanks for keeping on top of this.
I am glad a centrist group like CPAC, which wildly cheers Cheney like most of the country does, is working to expose groups like ACORN that are outside of the mainstream. I hope CPAC people get back in power so we can give more billions to good organizations like Cheney's Halliburton, rather than these non-profits that help poor minorities.
Yes, doublespeak at its finest! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Hey Hanzo-lo!
You know, I'm almost tempted to slap this on the blog site. Man this crap really pisses me off. Speaking of which…what's the word? I haven't gotten any feedback on the blog. I was thinking that can't be good. What did he say? It's ok, I can take it.
Obama a LIAR? This is old news. He's ALWAYS been a LIAR.
Your fraud world is crashing hard, leftist liar.
Global Warming, ACORN, Obamacare, Senate super-majority, ObamaMania, Cap 'n Tax…..Buh bye
"A lie is as good as the truth if you can get somebody to believe it."
Help ? Poor Minorities ?…….Surely ye jest?……….Poor minorities are being used as props, they make
good background for the evil racist.
there is so much abuse of welfare programs like extending unemployment to 2 years! what? where is the incentive to work? The newspapers have hundreds of help wanted ads but they would rather "freeload" for 2 years and sit in a deck chair with no contribution to society.
– I say welfare programs should have evaluation programs that expel those who are abusing the system.
– we work our lives away to pay taxes and support those who will not work. where's the fairness?
-Acorn is a scam. Disband it permanently!
Are you mega-idiots?
How is this a private video, if has a CNN logo?
Time to start the impeachment proceedings!
You guys are pathetic losers.
What ever happened to those criminal charges against ACORN? Or ACORN workers for the matter?
That's right. There weren't any. It was nothing but a bunch of ignorant racist rednecks trying to blame their losses on poor people.
Try this guys. Get off your asses. Get yourself educated. And get to work.
Trying to blame poor people because you suck at life isn't the answer.
Impeach the motherphuqr already.
That Obama lied isn't news now if Obama could talk for more than 5 min and NOT LIE that would be news.
We don't need to believe what author wrote. It's certainly clear that the author did not put these words in Barry's piehole. But then you're a classis leftist tool who smears the messenger instead of looking at the fact. Why should we expect more?
The progressives are so much in love with Darwin, why not let natural selection occur in our society? Were this the case, the WAR on POVERTY would have been abandoned years ago. As it is the WoP has created multigenerational welfare families and destroyed the two parent family in favor of the state as Momma and Poppa.
Another clueless fool…but that's what we expect from libs.
Thank you, twinespc!
Maybe, just maybe, a couple of these retards (satire) will listen.
I truly believe that every teabagger is simply a greedy bastard that doesn't want to pay federal taxes. That's all they are- a fly dropping on the wall of shame.
Unfortunately, their rhetoric has become more and more dangerous and led to at least one 9/11-type of incident a few days ago.
Of course, many of us knew all this before he was elected. The media chose to be deaf dumb and blind to Obama's radical connections and dangerous agenda.
But he's the first black president you know?
This kind of politically correct willful ignorance is gonna get a lot of people killed.
"many of us knew all this before he was elected"
—
Many, but not enough.
Jesus Christ, get over the 2008 election already- and show us all what you can do this November.
Maybe some one like Beck or Hannity could get experts to analyze all future speeches to detect the lies before anyone can prove them. Get way out in front. Could use graphs to show trends ( big pattern) as his poll numbers tank even further. I hear the Secret Service is tops in this field. A retired conservative Secret Service Agent must exist.
I am getting tired of people saying BO just isn't qualified, like he is a fumbling idiot and does not know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing. It takes the brains of a mastermind to takeover the United States of America. Think about this! And while we are thinking and putting pieces together, chew on this:
Is "political correctness" a cover excuse in the Ft. Hood Terrorist Act so Americans will not put the pieces together that our military has been heavily infiltrated with terrorists? Was it really PC that kept the terrorist in the service and had him sent to Ft. Hood? And the attempted food poisoning at another base? Hmmmmm…..
The guy in the White House is not stupid by a long shot.
As opposed to the 40% of entitlement recipients who pay hefty taxes, right? You can't even make an argument that has merit.
And the fuck wit who flew a plane into the IRS building, let me think about this – what does it take for someone to do that? How about an unstable nut job who just happens to have a beef with the IRS but can afford a plane? Maybe he was really pissed when the IRS caught up with him and made him accountable for skipping on his tax paying duties – your heros are the tax cheats dimwit – Geitner ring a bell? How bout Rangel?
We are not hopelessly complaining, believe me. We are looking forward to setting things right, starting in November.
It took a generation for the "Great Society" to finally reveal it's emptiness and will take a long time to correct it, but correct it we will!
Uh, maybe you need to first start thinking for yourself and not letting the media form your thoughts. And second you need to find an uncut copy of letter from the guy who crashed the plane into the Texas building. He was against capitalism, angry because health care was taking too long to get implemented, blamed Bush for a ton of miseries, and finished comparing capitalism to communism, with the latter being the better, more moral.
He was anything but a resemblance to a "teabagger". Sorry, but you and yours own this one. Ahh…since you compared it to 9/11, do you and yours own that, too?.
And in the second year,… we are going to……..
I don't see the "the 40% of entitlement recipients" start any pathetic protests.
Tell me, if teabaggers are truly entrepreneurial, why don't y'all try getting more income, instead of pathetically begging for smaller income taxes?
How can you tell O is about to lie? His mouth is opening.
Al Franken is not an evil racist…..he's just a little funny… ran for the Senate as lark….
It's not his fault that ACORN took his run seriou… and that the voters of Minn. are soooo close to Illinois.
Acorn involved in political campaigns? Can't be because that would barr them from receiving public funds. Let's get real here.
….have a Republican majority in the House and maybe the Senate…
How is a company supposed to 'get more income' if people do not have the money to buy what you are selling? Do some research on what reducing taxes does for the economy and you will have the answer which seems to elude you – what is the favorite saying of you lil lib college students?
God you people are stupid -
I meant that the act of violence was inspired by teabaggers, not the dude's hatred for the IRS.
"How is a company supposed to 'get more income' if people do not have the money to buy what you are selling?"
—
I know: Beg for smaller taxes.
Great answer – nit wit
I've got your answer nitwit your uncle the AG Steadman is a dishonest AG who will go down as the the worst AG in the wost administration in the history of the United States.
Does your reply mean I am wrong?
I think I get it now there Twinny…….
All you want is any form of recognition because in your non BigGov.com life….there is emptiness
So you come up with these off the wall comments in order to get the attention you require in order to verify that you exist…. You are indeed one sharp dude.
Why don' t you try an on-line dating service instead….. you just might be a likable guy in reality.
You mean D'bama's lips moved again, right?
With Clinton we had him screwing an intern and lies
With D'bama, we have him screwing the people and lies
Not much of a difference is it? Just a larger number of people involved.
"Jesus Christ" twinespc, I am getting tired of cleaning up after these parties you libs throw….
Like Sonny said, that "Great Society" one was a doozy….
OK, OK Sonny I'll get back to work…come this Nov.
I do get something out of BigGov't that I don't get in real life. I get to laugh at stupidity of the teabagging movement.
Let's be honest here. The fundamental Tea Party message of a small federal government appeals to many Americans, but when teabaggers start talking about "taking our(?) country back" and chanting "don't tax me, bro'", they look pathetic.
This is a man with no integrity occupying the most powerful position in the world. Anyone who hasn't figured that out by now is either a complete moron or just hasn't been paying attention. Unfortunately, at this point in time about 45% of Americans fall in one of those categories.
I only have two words for Obama “YOU LIE”!!!!
Just give it up lil twin – you are so off base it's comical. Nothing you say, no matter how hard you try and frame it, is going convince anyone that you have a lick of common sense.
I agree with all that you say up to the last sentence, "At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that Obama gets what he wants. The two statements as you said were said in completely different situations and circumstances, so that the Voters gets what they want, and that ACORN gets what they want.
One thing i would like to ask people though is why they have no faith in Obama. His expectations were a bit high to begin with because Bush's expectations were so low. Obama does what is right for this country, and people opposing him, writing articles like this, when in truth, we need to stand by him for our countries sake, as it isn't about the party, its about the country.
I was being sarcastic guys. Why is Acorn still being funded by our gov. after the admission of Obama of their help in his campaign and the various undercover stings last fall.
WRONG!!! He is still lying when he is lying down.
Looks to me like you are a nit wit.
And, Hitler was not even runner-up when it came to such manifestos! Lenin, Stalin, and Mao made Hitler look like a kitten! Hitler couldn't hold a candle to those murderers!
I also wonder how many America people has murdered through their progressive movement started over 100 years ago? I bet that this truth would shock most Americans! I know that we had no problem allowing 1000's of British and Americans die in WWII for the "good of the world," meaning only the elitist, of coarse!
Of course Barry lies! Gee when did you figure that out, after you voted for him! I want all the people who want to spread the wealth around to start with me, I could use some since the stimulas is not working and talk about stupid. If you love big gov so much and want big brother to watch over you since you can’t figure out you own life, buy a plane ticket to the EU they have room for you, they need another sucker to pay taxes so they can jet around and have a good time on you back! I’ll stay here and fight against things like you who want to run my life. Please go fast you can get a good price on cheap tickets since the economy is so good! I would pick maybe England! They drink alot of tea over there! Sorry coffee! Barry needs a vacation also take him with you, you can spread the wealth together, that means he will have to get a job first, thats a real job to you! I know he can shovel shit he’s good at that, you too! Maybe on a dairy farm if there’s not to much carbon, I have some credits you can buy, cheap! I loved the first teaparty, it got rid of England, I love this one it will get rid of you TWINESPC! See ya if the carbon doesn’t get you first sucker!
That check from the DNC is probably gonna bounce.
If he could go for more than a day without showing up in front of a camera that would be like totally awesome….lol
That nutbag was quoting the communist creed, while railing against Bush, capitolism, the IRS and business. Frankly, I'm stunned he didn't blame the Tea Party protesters for his problems as well. Only a complete idiot who didn't read that socialist freak's rant would be stupid enough to say what you just did.
And this act of violence was inspired by revenge, dillhole. Which is why he didn't target the main IRS office. He targeted the IRS auditing department, which was housed in a different part of town. Why? Because he was being audited (this is how he knew where the building was located). So…revenge. By a radical, liberal wacko.
Congratulations. You just won the prize for village idiot. The former idiot will be so disappointed.
That they did and still do; however, the Clintons lie even when they really don't have to/it makes no sense at all to do so.
OTOH, Obama has SO much to cover up, he is in a state of perpetually lying.
Oh good one, DumbQ, a VERY good one indeed !
Yes, you have it down pat, prage.
Well, a Conservative Secret Service guy DID write a book, rather early on, all about the Clinton White House.
It's only been a year…………………..give it time. ;^)
Good point there Vinny.
The message!…. damn the message…….
why do you have mud on your boots messenger???
Whatever you guys want to say about Obama, But one thing for sure he is 1000 times better than Bush, if you guys are supporter of republicans, you know who put us in this economic crisis? useless war and death, REPUBLICANS! Think twice before you blame OBAMA.
Naz
But when he's lying down and his lips aren't moving we can't hear him lying.
