In addition to the Jeremiah Wright thing, Obama absolutely backstabbed ACORN - who probably helped him win in 2008! - by failing to defend it against the (in hindsight) mostly bullshit voter registration fraud accusations against the org originating with a fucking Project Veritas hit piece. He and the other Dems allowed the congress Republicans to practically destroy ACORN. The fucking scumbag touted his experience as a community organizer and sat idly by, letting a community organization with a track record of helping consistent poor Black people - including helping them to vote - get ruthlessly torn apart by reactionaries clearly motivated to suppress Black votes.
