I was promoted to Office Recruiting Supervisor from Clerk in less than a week, but I couldn't put up with the Obot one level above me. She personally knew Barry and Michelle, as she'd recently moved from Chicago.

The census is a joke. Whose bright idea was it to count foreigners anyway?

Thanks for posting these. It reminds me I still haven’t mailed my census form yet. Maybe I’ll get around to it next...

They start with some reference to the Constitution, and then torture it into an act designed for political gain.

Thank you, Michelle, for this American service announcement.

I would also add that the census is about keeping tabs on citizens and where they live. Think REALLY BIG BROTHER.

A few months ago we contacted a small wifi outfit in the area. Due to our remote location, it’s difficult to find wireless service. The owner of the small outfit said that he couldn’t provide us with service, but asked if we could write the said authorities a letter. This individual stated that Obama wanted to provide government funds to internet companies whom provide service to remote areas. I told myself, “I bet he does”.

Naturally, I did not write a letter, or contact that individual again.

We have a home in the burbs, where we received our census form. I filled it out and sent it in.

Not good enough it seems. We also have a ranch in the mountains. I spoke today with the census enumerator for the area where our ranch is located. He wanted to put my ranch down as a vacant address, even though we spend nearly half our time there. Then he wanted to come out and do the GPS thing at the house. I said “no”, and then spent the next 20 minutes arguing with him. I told him I considered that an unreasonable search, without a warrant, and that I don’t trust the Obama administration who has politicized the census and put Rahm Emanual in charge of it.

Give me your address. I'll send you mine. I only answered the question about the number of people. So if that's different, don't worry. They'll never know.

For the record, I have no beef with the constitutional mandate. I complied by filling out my census form and sending it back...

For the record, Michelle (and with all due respect, because you're definitely one of the good guys) the is no constitutional mandate with which you had to comply. The real constitutional mandate is that the government make the count WITHOUT your participation - it is NOT a requirement for your particiation. And, there is zero damage to government operations by your non-response.

No joke, and no exaggeration. But I understand that such a serious claim requires an adequate explanation, so see this article for the legal details: Census 2010 and the Law.

I am a census worker and I can confirm what Michelle is saying.

We all laugh every day at the incompetence and inefficiency. It's either that or cry.

When it comes to the census I think about 21 million plus illegal aliens inside our borders. Then I think about Rove being the top advisor to Gerge W. Bush. Then I remember that George W. tried his best to force amnesty for these aliens on us.

After that I have to wonder whether I can trust Rove. I don’t have to wonder long though. I trust him as much as I trust Bush, so he can save his breath when he assures me that the census is just fine and we should all fill out all of the questions.

“I would also add that the census is about keeping tabs on citizens and where they live. “

Perhaps I am naive but I figure they know all about that since I file tax returns every year.

"… I never saw such a mismanaged outfit in all my life. I just shook my head in total disbelief. Our work could have been done with half the people.

Welcome to ObamaCare.

The problem is you have two houses. This makes you an enemy of the people.
