Obama Restores Cash-Strapped ACORN's Funding As Reward For HealthCare Support
American Spectator ^ | 3.20.10 @ 9:17PM | By Matthew Vadum

Posted on 03/21/2010 7:06:23 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

President Obama has quietly moved behind the scenes to restore full funding to the radical group ACORN, which was his former employer and legal client.

In a move ignored by the media, OMB director Peter Orszag circulated a directive to federal agencies ordering them to begin funding ACORN again. ACORN is the hyperpartisan lead group in the Health Care for America Now (HCAN) coalition and has long supported a government takeover of the U.S. health care system....

In a March 16 memo Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director Peter Orszag ordered federal agencies to resume funding the group whose employees were caught on hidden camera videos last year condoning and encouraging a variety of crimes including child prostitution and tax evasion.

He's pure evil and I expect him to get his reward soon.

Unless 150 million angry citizens get to him and his minions first.

March 16, huh?

Well, sneak one through.

Peter Orszag had a cozy one on one meeting with Obama at the WH last week, that only a pundit on Fox reported. It might have been Steve Hayes on the panel. I just can;t recall. It’s been too crazy of a week.

Odd how he does this while the health care debate is raging. This is a dangerous man.

This should be all over FOX and talk radio asap, even if it means putting health care to the side. This is disgusting and it amazes me that he thinks he will get away with it (although I wouldn’t be surprised if he does).

I must’ve missed that one.
I do remember that one St. Louis polling place watcher observed 6 people enter the voting booths and somehow, 34 votes were counted. This is the flip side of what happened in Minnesota.

It’s been an outrage an hour ever since the dictator was sworn in! All we have to do is go back in the FR archives and pull up each day since he was sworn in. In that search, we could find one,two or three of his outrages to list for each day since January 20, 2009.

The man is trying to destroy this country.

That’s been his goal all along. America, a nation founded on Christian principals, must be destroyed.

I’m waiting for ACORN to get their just rewards...such as their offices exploding in a ball of flames across the US.

I hope talk radio and Fox start reporting on this. The MSM is more likely to report that ACORN is going bankrupt and sweep this under the rug. (”Don’t worry your pretty little heads about big bad ACORN, they’re gone!”)

Dear God in Heaven. These people are even worse than I knew they would be, inconceivable in America. Copied and pasted all that to my email list, what I still have of it.

IIRC that injunction against ACORN funding by Congress was temporary. I believe if memory serves that it was only that month of October 2009. Hey I’m no Spring Chicken, so the ol’ memory could be full of tricks, but that’s how I remember it.

IIRC from reading many an article there were lots of folks that didn’t realize that it was only a temporary stop of payments to ACORN, and most didn’t realize their Congress let them down again by only making a show with that temporary stop to the funding.

This post approved by Mrs. RQSR. ;)

“It’s why he wasn’t bothered by the Iranian election fraud. He wants the same thing here.”

It’s also why he backed President Zelaya and said his ousting was bad for Honduras & unconstitutional. Problem was he was outright & completely wrong.

He’s shaping up to be exactly what he was showing us he was. No apologies.

Violence is what they are hoping and expecting. It is part of the plan and will propel them upwards with their agenda faster. Don’t be fooled, they are goading us into it. They want it. They need it for their plans.
