The truth about Obama and ACORN is Out!

They thought it would go away. They were wrong. Obama and the Left thought ACORN’s scandalous racket was a dead issue. But whistleblowers, investigative bloggers, and talk radio continue to press for transparency and taxpayer accountability. Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King has renewed efforts for congressional hearings into the financial structure of the massive, publicly subsidized activist group and its non-profit affiliates. Judicial Watch sheds light on ACORN’s partnership with the Census.

Left-wing groups in Washington, D.C., are panicked. The New York Times and other Team Obama whitewashers have tried hard to suppress mounting evidence of legally suspect coordination between the Obama presidential campaign, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), and Obama’s old employer Project Vote (ACORN’s non-profit canvassing arm). Alas, the truth keeps seeping out. Much More To Read Thanks to Michelle Malkin and many more

Thanks to Michelle Malkin, Rep. Steve King, Glenn Beck, Mike Gaynor and Judicial Watch for bring this information out so we the people could see for our self what Obama and Acorn was all about!

Black African Americans Rethink Democratic Party

Barbara Howard: It is the same party ( Democratic Party )that created the segregationist Jim Crow Laws, beating and killing numerous civil rights workers who fought against those laws and for their dignity and freedom in a nonviolent revolution.

Why are they silent today when even the most astute black person thinks it was the FBI under a Republican administration instead of Democrat J. Edgar Hoover under Democratic Attorney General Robert Kennedy during the Democratic administration of John F. Kennedy that tapped Dr. King’s phones and had him (and them) under constant surveillance, defining them as communists?

A black minister once said to me that he hated the Republican Party because it had never done anything for black folk during his lifetime of over 50 years. Why would he think that?

They are not told that black Republican pioneer Dr. Arthur Fletcher is known as the father of affirmative action, serving as secretary of labor under President Richard Nixon and heading the U.S. Civil Rights Commission under President George H.W. Bush. Read More

The blacks are finding out that Obama gives them pennuts while giving big banks and big companies along with the elite billions of dollars, and at the same time blacks and whites both are losing jobs, paying higher prices and will soon be paying back the trillions of dollars that Obama has spent. Thats right, not only will the white kids being paying this money back but also the black kids will be doing the same.

UPDATE: JUNE 14 – Obama Appoints Big Donors as Ambassadors – Pay To Play? – Change you can count on?

Despite his promises of change, President Barack Obama has kept tradition by naming top donors to plum ambassador posts, drawing fire from career US diplomats and causing dismay among some US allies.

Obama has been criticized for naming fund raisers with no diplomatic experience and who together drummed up well over a million dollars for his record-shattering campaign to be ambassadors to Britain, France and Japan.

“It’s an 18th-century practice we are continuing which no other major democratic country does,” said Ronald Neumann, a veteran ambassador and head of the American Academy of Diplomacy, a lobby of former senior diplomats.

“It’s not ‘change you can believe in,’ but it’s not terribly surprising,” said Neumann, referring to Obama’s campaign slogan.

Obama named Louis Susman, a former Citigroup banker in Chicago once dubbed the “vacuum cleaner” for his prowess sucking up money, as ambassador to London.

Obama also tapped two major California fund raisers – naming Charles Rivkin, the former producer of “The Muppets” children show, to Paris and Silicon Valley lawyer John Roos to Tokyo. Read More

Obama taps more big donors for ambassadorships

Obama on Thursday tapped four big Democratic Party donors for plum ambassadorships in Europe and Latin America while naming six career diplomats to posts in Africa, the Mideast and the Pacific.

Washington lawyer Howard Gutman, who raised more than $500,000 for Obama’s campaign and personally contributed the maximum $4,600 to it, was nominated to be the next U.S. envoy to Belgium, the White House said in a statement.

Obama named former Virginia Lt. Gov. Donald Beyer to be ambassador to Switzerland and Luxembourg. Beyer, who made his money as a car dealer, raised more than $500,000 for Obama and also contributed $4,600 to his campaign, according to the center.

Vinai Thummalapally, a Colorado business executive and Obama friend who raised between $100,000 and $200,000 for the campaign and donated $4,500 to it, was named the next U.S. ambassador to Belize. Thummalapally’s wife, Barbara, contributed $2,800 to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Read More

Rewarding fund raisers sure is not the change Obama promised the American people now is it!  Looks like a pay to play to me!  If this isn’t pay to play what would you call it, does anyone have an answer?
