Obama, as well as most of the elite media, fail to reveal the full depth and extent of Obama's relationship with ACCORN.
According to the Cleveland Leader, attempts have been made to wipe the web clean of potentially damaging articles concerning Obama's involvement with ACORN.
Nevertheless, a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, and published in the journal Social Policy was found and reveals Obama did in fact train ACORN "community organizers.
"Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."
That article disproved a false claim, made on Obama's so-called fight the smears website, that Obama was never an ACORN trainer. On Thursday fight the smears stated:
Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.
Thanks to the efforts of the Cleveland Leader, as of yesterday, fight the smears has been revised to read:
Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.
Fight the smears may have revised the blatant lie revealed by the Cleveland Leader, but it maintains the obfuscation.
