After multiple public denials by Barack Obama and an explicit denial in the 3rd debate about the extent of his association with ACORN, the Democrat candidate attempts to come clean while no one is paying attention.
The Pittsburg Tribune-Review reports, "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports.
An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary."
Please note the shaking of the head by Obama denying a relationship with ACORN, and the smarmy smiles he exhibits while McCain speaks.. At one point Obama laughs out loud as if to say that what McCain is saying is ridiculous. In reality, we now know that in front of 10's of millions of voters, Obama is the one making the deceptive statements, and not telling the truth. Obama says on his involvement with ACORN: "The only involvement I've had with ACORN was I represented them alongside the U.S. Justice Department in making Illinois implement a motor voter law that helped people get registered at DMV's." Obama purposely omits the above $800,000.00 given to ACORN by his campaign making his debate statement objectively false. He purposely omits the $230.000.00 given to ACORN by the Woods Foundation when he sat on the board of that foundation with terrorist William Ayers. That makes his debate statement objectively false. He purposely omits the training he himself supplied to ACORN workers in the past. That also makes his debate statement objectively false.
Now, metaphorically, in the dark of night, in the 11th hour of the campaign, when the 10's of millions of people he fraudulently deceived are not looking, he admits the fraud, and lying, by quietly amending his campaign spending report. I particularly love the talking point the Obama campaign has ready (McCain returned some money to some contributor) and the media will happily barf up this obvious misdirection to the public.
Update: Joe Biden also denies the ACORN connection confirmed by the amendment to Obama's campaign finance report. See the video:
