Obama: ACORN And Friends Will Shape Presidential Agenda - With Video
This was an event for hundreds of community organizing groups and ACORN people were there including the main organizer of the event Deepak Bhargava was an ACORN leader for years. Bhargava was the legislative director at the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).
From The Organizers Forum
Deepak was selected as the Executive Director of the Center for Community Change in October 2002, having been at the Center since 1994 in the position of Director of Public Policy. He has developed national grassroots coalitions on issue of public housing and transportation, resulting in significant federal policy changes.

Deepak previously worked at ACORN, leading the organization’s policy work on community reinvestment, fair housing and housing finance, working with the media and testifying before Congress. Deepak currently serves on the boards of the Center on Law and Social Policy, the Applied Research Center, the Center for Immigrant Democracy and the Discount Foundation. Deepak was born in Mysore, India, grew up in New York City and received his BA summa cum laude from Harvard College.
Here is the video of Barack Obama telling Community Organizers from around the country, which includes ACORN of course, that they will be setting his agenda before he is even inaugurated:
Nah - No ties to ACORN what so ever.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Holy Shit this guy scares me
Don’t people see how he is already shaping his socialist agenda? After he passes his socialist legislation he’ll move right into marxism, they’ll go hand in hand. Then the psyco in Iran will threaten Israel and his response will be that we shouldn’t get involved because it doesn’t concern us.
We won’t hear the news though because he will have censored what he deems to be radical news organizations, like this site, Fox news, Rush, Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, etc.
That or we’ll be standing in bread lines.
God help us.

• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer.
• Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.”
This is on Obama’s website. I guess Barack didn’t stand up and say that either!
Right Barack.

If this is a contingent of left and radical left activists, what is Mick Cornett, the Conservative Republican Mayor of Oklahoma City doing right there in the middle of the stage? See pic here… http://www.okc.gov/council/mayor/mayor.html
Either it was a balanced group or Mick snuck in as a Double Knot Spy.
Give it up!!!
