More Acorns Falling

ACORN managed to find (and register) Mickey Mouse, it would APPEAR.  They’re loath to take credit for it, though.

Under attack again, ACORN leaders defend their work. Often, they say, things are as not simple as they’re portrayed.

Take Mickey Mouse.

Yes, that’s their logo. But they say their workers routinely scanned all suspicious applications.

“We don’t think this card came through our system,” said Brian Kettenring, ACORN’s head organizer in Florida.

(More Florida fun times HERE.)

In Ohio, the ACORN-”registered” folks have already started VOTING.

At the same time, officials said, some 5 percent, or 3,650, of the 73,000 total registration cards turned in by ACORN in the Cleveland area from its Project Vote initiative to sign up low-income voters were “questionable,” Platten said.

There were “egregious acts of registering multiple times,” said Platten. “The extent of it is beyond the resources of this board.”

More FUN in Cleveland, including this little tidbit:

Johnson, 19, said he mostly was trying to help ACORN workers who begged him to sign up because they needed to keep their jobs.

“They’d come up with a sob story why they needed the signature,” said Johnson, of Garfield Heights.

ACORN leaders have acknowledged that workers paid by the hour were given quotas to fill.

Obama tries to DISTANCE himself.  He must feel confident knowing that the MSM will do everything in its power to help.
