The plan follows the private complaints of some Democrats that Obama let the GOP get the better of him during the debate over pork in the budget bill he just signed, and growing concerns among some Democrats that charges of big spending could stick to the president.

The words, doesn't begin to address the sheer levels of stupidity and insanity needed to make this POS comment. After signing two Stimulus Bills laden with stealth-spending and secret legislation into law, the Not-President had announced to the Media and the Public that he would go through every subsequent bill, line by line, and remove every piece of pork from it.

Then came the Omnibus Spending Bill, known as PORKULUS II.

Given nearly 9,000 opportunities to make good on his promise with a Budget bill containing more pork than Denny's has ever served in its grand-slam breakfasts, he signed it without reading it or raising an eyebrow.

The only comment that he probably made was, "Next?"

So, now that millions of Americans are crying, "Foul," over this obviously bloated and bogus budget bill, including ones who voted for ZERO, it seems like the cadres of ACORN activists have already been out there cajoling opponents of Obama's economic plans since November.

They want to make sure that we do not object to our money being taken from us and thrown at the housing and banking crisis that Obama and his fellow Democrats created.

Somewhere buried in the news media last year was a story about 25 ACORN activists who showed up at a Wachovia branch office in Orlando carrying signs and demanding that the bank should stop foreclosing on "good people who deserve to stay in their homes." Apparently, Orlando has been at the top of ACORN's list of anti-foreclosure activities.

Concurrently with their "Home Defender" program of active lawbreaking, ACORN are using using similar activist tactics to get fiscally responsible people to continually reward the fiscally irresponsible ones by supporting every single, massive spending bill that Obama and the Demo-gods ram through Congress.

One can only wonder what sorts of extortion tactics they will use to force their Leader's Socialistic agenda down our throats.

Beginning with Clinton's signing of the Community Reorganization Act, or CRA(minus the "p" at the end), ACORN began intimidating banks to give mortgage loans to people who could not afford to pay for them. Today, they are back, intimidating those same banks to do it all again with the same people, calling them, "Predatory lenders," in an effort to cast them as bad guys (aka "rich, white bank officials") preying on helpless minorities (aka African Americans).

"Predatory lenders?" I'm sorry, but I must have missed the stories about "rich, white bank officials" sitting in their Mercedes, parked inside of government housing projects, ARM agreements in hand, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting "minority families" as they left their apartments and forcing them to buy houses that they could not afford then or now.

As they say down in Texas, ‘The boy is all hat and no cattle.’ Barack Obama is a lazy, affirmative action hire who is not going to work and when challenged, he whines ‘racism’ through his sycophantic beguiled minions. If the people hired to run the White HOuse and the executive branch do not pick up this shiftless fraud’s slack, Pelosi and Reid will exploit this POS to the max, ending capitalism as we have known it.
