In a lengthy speech on the House floor today, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) declared that President Obama is “the star of ACORN, the lead, chief organizer.”
Railing against ACORN, King mentioned Obama’s comment on Sunday that he hasn’t paid much attention to the scandal.
“Really, Mr. President?” King said, revealing the poster of Obama you see at left.
“He’s not interested in ACORN? He’s ambivalent about it?” King asked. “Curious.”
King went on about Obama’s involvement with the housing group, saying it was part of the “genesis” of Obama’s political life. “He walks with them all the way through.”
He then called on every committee in the House to investigate ACORN. The Justice Department’s “lame little announcement” that it will investigate the group isn’t enough, he said.
Lest you forget, yesterday King claimed that gay marriage is but a first step on the path to socialism.
(That poster looks familiar, but we’re having trouble putting our finger on it. Anyone know where it’s from?)
Late update: TPMDC’s Eric Kleefeld finds the poster. It was a National Review cover in March, with the headline “Our Socialist Future.”
