Obama said in 2007 that as president he will invite ACORN and other community organizers to 'Shape the Agenda' of his presidency (Updated and bumped from last night)

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Incredibly, Barack Obama says in this video segment from the Heartland Democratic Forum on December 01, 2007 - for thousands of community organizers including Gamaliel and ACORN staff, personnel, and supporters - that during his first one hundred days in office he will be "calling in all the 'community organizers' to help him shape the agenda"!!!

ACORN and Friends (Community Organizers), Responsible For Voting Fraud and The Sub Prime Mortgage Crisis, Are Going To Be Shaping Policy For A Barack Obama Presidency.

Am I the only one that thinks its a really bad idea to have the very same people that were part and parcel of our nation's financial crisis to help shape our nation's agenda?

Make sure this gets passed around and bumped every single day until election night. I'll be surprised if it's not made to disappear well before then by the Obama camp. Just in case of such an event we've stored the video on our server.

Update: For confirmation of the segment (that Obama actually talked about enlistment of community activists during the transition into his administration) in the video check out this live blogging post of that date at "5:11" in to the post. Obama's comments are also substantiated in the last paragraph of this blog post at Radio Iowa - the Blog. There's absolutely no way that this video was "fudged" (my word not hers) as a news reporter suggested at my local Fox TV station, WTVT in Tampa.

10/12 0900 Update: Allah Pundit writes:

"According to the Center for Community Change, which co-sponsored the event, more than 3,000 people participated; I'm assuming ACORN was represented but I can't find a definitive list of all the groups in attendance. In any case, the event's agenda was necessarily broader than theirs. It is true that Deepak Bhargava, the current executive director of CCC, used to work as ACORN's legislative director, but unless I missed something, I don't even see the group listed as an official CCC partner."

To which RedState responded with:

"This link to the connections that the CCC has with all of its community organization friends, not to mention Leftist, Marxist, and generally radical activist groups."

These people have been pretty much all living in each other's pockets for the last forty years; by now they're more incestuous than a Faulkner novel.

PPS: You may want to have a chat with DNC mouthpiece Brad Woodhouse about what the phrase "There's no relationship here" actually means. Although I must say that the accelerated mushroom treatment that you've put the DNC through seems to have paid dividends: they repeat the Approved Points of Talk quite steadily. Electroshock? Drug cocktail? Forced memetic downloading?... oops, ignore that last one.

Update from Sister Toldjah:

I was watching CNN this morning and they were showing clips of an interview they did with ACORN director Bertha Lewis and she blatantly lied by acting like Republicans only just now in the last month were starting to find these problems, implying that the only reason they were doing so was in an attempt to 'scare' voters. There's a pretty good write-up at The Politico website that lays waste to Lewis' argument, as the battles between the GOP and ACORN have gone on for decades.
