The Census Bureau today, cut it's ties to ACORN in regards to the 2010 census: "Over the last several months, through ongoing communication with our regional offices, it is clear that ACORN's affiliation with the 2010 Census promotion has caused sufficient concern in the general public, has indeed become a distraction from our mission, and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 Census efforts," read a letter from Census Director Robert M. Groves to the president of ACORN."
This had to be hard to do, considering President Obama's ties to ACORN, but congratulations to the Census Bureau for doing the right thing.
No wonder Obama wanted the Census Bureau to be brought in and be part of the administration. If Obama had succeeded in bringing The Census Bureau into the administration, do you think this would have happened, dropping ACORN? Yes, you are correct, of course not.

Really? Do you honestly believe that Obama did not OK the Census Bureau firing ACORN? Of course he threw them under the bus, just like Van Jones. They broke the first rule of political patronage -- thou shalt not embarrass thy patron.
ReplyDeleteI am sure he was notified, but gave approval? Considering the Census Bureau is supposed to be independent. If not, another disappointment in the federal government.
