Still think Obama is a moderate?  Want to see what kind of change he might bring?  Read all about it here.  Among other things, it turns out the Great New Hope Of The Left was personally instrumental in priming the banking crisis we're facing right now, representing ACORN in the lobbying drive that forced the strengthening of the Community Reinvestment Act and started the whole subprime-mortgage ball rolling.

I read as much as I could of that article, and I have to caution you about that website: my tinfoil-hat alarm went off immediately, and never stopped. The author weaves a bunch of disparate facts into a single conspiratorial narrative -- and that's bullshit no matter who's doing it. It's bullshit when the Spartacist Youth League does it, it's bullshit when LaRouche does it. Real life is not that simple. I'm aware that the network the author describes looks complicated -- but compared to real life, it's way too simple.
