This ACORN is rotten on the outside and at its core.

It is time for Barack Obama to defiantly reject and condemn ACORN. His extensive ties to ACORN, despite their lack of media coverage, are genuinely troubling and entirely shameful.

Much like his ties to Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko, however, this appears to be yet another relationship Obama plans to keep.

Do Not Bail Out The Bad Guys

We’ve heard much from the media about CDOs, CDSs, and other previously obscure abbreviations. But we should be hearing more about this acronym: ACORN.

ACORN, as National Review readers will know, is a “community-organizing” outfit with which Senator Obama was once closely allied, and for which he did work. ACORN has made a cottage industry out of leaning on banks and government to extend credit to house buyers who were bad risks for mortgages, i.e. subprime borrowers.
