Obama used to work for ACORN as a community organizer and legal rep. ACORN is a Chicago based national organization that has a dubious reputation for mixing our tax dollars with voter registration and voter fraud. According to Michelle Malkin, ACORN representatives in many states have registered invalid voters immediately prior to registration deadlines. Seems Obama still supports ACORN as a positive instrument for social change.
Positive if you are a Socialist, maybe.

While the political affilliation of ACORN is undoubtedly left leaning, it’s a shame to dismiss them as socialist. For example, in Baltimore, MD they were intrumental in running a well lawyer backed rent strike against persistent tentant abuse by slum lords and managed to help a lot of people. It raises the profile of Obama in my eyes even more.
Guilt by association (ACORN socialist - Obama socialist) is an old right wing trick that we are bound to hear of even more as the election approaches.

Thanks for the comment and input. I do think Obama’s voting record puts him far left without the ACORN association.
