→Presidential campaign (2008): misrepresented FEC filings
Another feature of the Obama campaign is the unruly audience. CNN reported in October of 2008 <ref>http://www.findinternettv.com/Video,item,3565842635.aspx</ref>, that people are calling John McCain a terrorist at these events. According to Sen. McCain, "I've heard the [label terrorist], unfortunately, at Senator Obama's rallies being said about me. There's always a fringe element." Other eyewitness reports are harsher.

=== FEC filing ===
Obama's Campaign paid over $800,000 to [[ACORN]] for Get-Out-The-Vote efforts, but "mistakenly misrepresented" their work to the [[Federal Elections Commission]] (FEC). According to the ''Pittsburgh Tribune Review'',
{{Cquote|U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the [[liberal]] [[Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now]] for services the [[Democrat]]'s campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show [[Citizens Services Inc]]. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in 'get-out-the-vote' projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary."<ref>David M.
