 In 1994 Obama represented ACORN in the ''Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank'' suit against redlining.  ACORN was the driving force<ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html</ref>  behind a 1995 regulatory revision pushed through by the [[Clinton Administration]] that greatly expanded the [[Community Reinvestment Act]] (CRA).  Obama represented ACORN before Clinton administration regulators in this effort. With the new regulations, ACORN used its subsidiary, ACORN Housing, and the threat of lawsuits under fair housing laws, to induce lenders to expand [[subprime lending]], or so-called "toxic assets." A 2007 report by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis notes 50% of all subprime mortgages were in predominantly minority census tracks.<ref>http://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/review/06/01/ChomPennCross.pdf</ref>
