ObamACORN payback: It’s still in there
A radical leftist “community group” known for its fraudulent voter registration drives will get billions of taxpayer dollars under the Democrats’ massive spending bill, approved last week by the House Appropriations Committee.
Scheduled for a full U.S. House of Representatives vote this week, President Barack Obama’s controversial trillion-dollar economic recovery package was supposed to focus on creating jobs and immediate tax relief to stimulate the ailing economy.
Instead the monstrous spending bill will fund dozens of new government programs, contraceptives, colleges and universities with billion-dollar endowments and leftwing groups like the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), for years under perpetual federal investigation.
Already largely funded with U.S. tax dollars, Chicago-based ACORN will get a big chunk of $4.19 billion allocated for “neighborhood stabilization activities” under the proposed stimulus package. Incredibly, groups like ACORN are not eligible to receive public funds that purpose because only state and local governments meet the requirements under a 2008 law.

Good!
It beats it going to the chairman of companies like Merrill Lynch who then spend $1.4 million renovating their offices.
Good how? Voter fraud good?

Lotta big offices get redecorated by socialists.

Yes, I’m afraid he is.
Hey, off-topic but interesting is this. Federal government websites, including the White House, are forbidden to use “cookies” to track visitors’ web surfing. The O-team appears to have made an exception for the Youtube videos embedded in the White House site. Youtube, of course, is owned by O-buddy firm Google.
Considering how widespread the practice of embedding YouTube videos has become, this gives Google an amazing amount of data on the Web-browsing activities of hundreds of millions of Internet users–many of whom may not realize that such tracking data is being collected.
Whole, somewhat geeky article, is here.

Yep! Obama rewarding ACORN….and guess what the American people are laying back saying nothing about how he is spending their tax money. When and if the people speak out is when things will change.
There won’t be enough of a response to get anything done, pride will now kill our country. People don’t want to admit they were wrong in voting for him.

Buck up! Lots of presidents who were wildly popular on Inauguration Day were in deep political trouble by the following year. We just have to keep the pressure on. And remember the famous words that Thos Jefferson never actually said: “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
