Any Guesses On Barack's Reaction To The Census Bureau Cutting Ties With ACORN?
What will Gibbs say?
The Census Bureau has told ACORN that they cannot be involved in the next census. Primarily because they are corrupt and can't be trusted to collect vital information honestly. Or at least ... not report vital information honestly. Of course it is probable that ACORN would act illegally.
Taxpayers help fund this organization. They have shown themselves to be less than ethical.
When regular Americans look for Barack's reaction to the Census Bureau's rejection of ACORN involvement in the 2010 census, ( a rejection founded on continual shady and possible illegal activity by the group ), will Barack act responsibly and condemn ACORN actions?
Will Barack's national broadcasting channels report any foul play on the six o'clock news?
Will a Nancy Pelosi led Congress look into any of this before taxpayers are forced to give ACORN any more millions?
What will Washington say and do? How will Barack explain away the fact that the census bureau has rejected one of his most dearly held special interest groups?
Rejected solely because they can't be trusted.

Obama is going to stay far, far away from that topic.
I have noticed that he doesn't defend any of his actions or appointments when the truth comes out and it falls apart and people "resign".
I'm still waiting to hear his defense of Van Jones and why he picked him.
At least Bush did not avoid those sticky "personnel" type of issues..he did come out and try to defend his choice. But Obama...he disappears into the background and one of "his people" talk to the press.
ACORN employees have recently tried to come up with ways for prostitutes to buy houses and use them as their ( prostitutes ) places of business. ACORN employees have tried every trick in the book to help these prostitutes and pimps evade taxes, and gave advice --- like lying to the government about where their income came from. Even when told by clients that a ring of 13 year old illegal immigrants would be used in a brothel .... ACORN employees encouraged the sex trade and advised that the prospective clients ( in hopes of buying a house for prostitution ) just keep their mouths shut.
ACORN advisors were only interested in getting their clients set up with a bank account -- so they could buy a house. They knew, and told them, that they could get them a loan if they conspired to defraud the lenders.
This is the advice ACORN is giving to prostitutes. And American taxpayers are picking up the tab.
I think the moderate Dems are just as bothered with what is going on as the rest of us. Those loyal to the party are between a rock and a hard place. There is also a lot of corruption up on the hill. I hope some legislatures come out and work on cleaning up the mess.
Of course now ACORN is claiming that this is all a smear campaign by FOX news and that the tapes were doctored. They just had a "few" bad apples in their group. It is all racially motivated.
What a crock! They get caught on tape, not once but twice (at least). They are saying virtually the same things to the undercover reporters and giving the same advice. And it is a set up. In different locations at different times. And the people giving the advice are knowingly advising the methods to break the law. Obviously an ACORN training method coming into the mix.
Of course anything negative about them just has to be racially motivated. They play that card on everything.
They should be banned from ever receiving a government contract and the leaders of the group investigated for criminal activities.
