ACORN Cannot Be Trusted To Police Itself
By Carole on Sep 17, 2009
The liberal establishment is finally acknowledging that ACORN is not the victim of a vast right wing conspiracy but is actually a corrupt enterprise. According to an editorial in yesterday's Los Angeles Times, "The liberal advocacy group needs to clean house." (source) White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called ACORN employees' conduct on hidden camera videos "completely unacceptable." And suddenly ACORN is admitting there's a problem within.
Everyone But The President Is Talking About ACORN
By Carole on Sep 15, 2009
In light of recent scandals and ongoing investigations, the Senate voted 83-7 on Monday to forbid ACORN from receiving federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. (source) Senator Richard Shelby (R-Alabama) has called for an "immediate and thorough" investigation of the group. (source) the Census Bureau has severed its ties with the group whose members had been hired to do canvassing during the 2010 census. And yet President Obama refuses to make any public statement regarding this obviously corrupt organization.
ACORN Scandal Spreads To New York

ACORN's usual defense (it's just a few rogue employees) is becoming more laughable by the day. Widespread voter fraud in the 2008 election wasn't enough to prevent the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now from receiving millions of taxpayer dollars. In Baltimore and Washington D.C. ACORN employees were caught on tape offering suggestions to two activists posing as a pimp and prostitute on how to launder money and get a mortgage for a brothel. And now employees at the Brooklyn office of ACORN have also fallen for the hidden-camera sting operation. (source)
Obama Keeps Talking But Won't Say Anything
By Carole on Sep 13, 2009
A prime time address on Wednesday, a rally in the midwest Saturday and yet another 60 Minutes interview tonight; it seems as if President Obama is doing nothing but talking. Of course it's all about his health care reform legislation (and he's not saying anything new on that). One would think that's the only issue we're facing; the only problem that he needs to address. It's not.
Power To The Fishies!
By Carole on Aug 6, 2009
The Obama administration is asking for your help! On an official White House blog, President Obama's Director of New Media Macon Phillips asked those who see an email or website that seems "fishy" to send it to a White House e-mail address. (source) I can only imagine the deafening outcry if any other administration had publicly encouraged American citizens to alert the government regarding any "fishy" speech.
