Obama’s ‘Jobs Bill’ Makes ACORN Eligible for $15 Billion in Taxpayer Money
The $79,819 grant to the former ACORN Housing comes out of HUD’s Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) program, a political indoctrination program that gives nonprofit groups money to rail against lenders and the supposed unfairness of the capitalist system.
The circumstances of the grant are particularly striking. HUD was so eager to start funding ACORN again that it apparently
broke the law, taking the cash out of fiscal 2010 appropriations. This is a problem because Congress banned federal funding of ACORN through the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010. But two months earlier HUD cited the congressional ban when it withheld a $461,086 grant to AHCOA. Something happened between January and March. In March HUD relied on a government lawyer’s dubious legal opinion from 2010 that ACORN Housing was no longer part of the ACORN network — and the new $79,819 grant went through.
And now there are dozens of new ACORN offshoot groups ready to devour taxpayers’ money, as I write in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.
Many of the new ACORN groups — with names like New York Communities for Change and Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment — are eligible for federal funding. They have obtained Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) numbers which nonprofits are required to have in order to seek federal grants.
If the proposed Jobs for Community Organizers bill becomes law it’s a safe bet the rebranded ACORN groups will be first in line with grant applications.
OPM! Other people’s money! When you rob from Peter to pay Paul, you will always have Paul’s vote! – Saul Alinsky
ACORN, AHCOA, AH0, AFU, AWTF,AUPURS,ACOMMI,AOBOMIDIOTS, ALIAR, ACHEATS, ACONS, liars, cheats and cons…proof that crime does pay!
Actually I beleive the quote about Peter and Paul was originally brom George Bernard Shaw but you are certainly in the ballpark. These people will just keep repackaging themselves and keep showing up for more and more federal handouts.
The minute I heard of this jobs bill I was 100% certain it was a corruption laced scheme, just like the previous 2. And I was right. I guess, you could call BHO Mr. Obvious.
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Alinsky
CalPatriot:
If you really want to see the genesis of this insane would be dictator of the world, rent, buy, borrow or watch on Netflix, episode 2 of The Winds Of War, starring Robert Mitchum.
Imagine the face of Obama overlayed on that of Hitler as he experiences his tirades of anger. Insanity is insanity, that is just what it is.
Only one of his miracles can save this crazy wannabee from impeachment within the next year and a half. If it doesn’t happen, and Rick Perry becomes the republican candidate to oppose him in 2012, kiss the country and all of our asses goodbye.
New York Times, Washington Post, CBS CNN… The big dogs are starting to bark.
May they awaken the sleeping sheeple.
They yell COOL AID and the right wing rubes come running .
I’m no longer surprised when this con artist (POTUS) does something like this. Fifteen Billion – with a B. That could buy a lot of votes.
Does anyone need further proof of this man’s totally corrupt ways?
I thought not.
And can anyone doubt he’d skirt the law – or outright ignore it if he thinks he can get away with it?
Read this article for more info on how this bozo thinks.
Nancy Pelosi as Speaker again? I think even the Dems would have second thoughts about that one!!!
O definitely feels constrained by those stupid other branches of government, the legislature and the judiciary.
And that checks and balances thing ? Ugly.
Some months back, Obama did in fact speak rather wistfully of how efficient the ChiComs are when it comes to getting stuff done (aka effecting an agenda). None of that checks and balances nonsense to put up with.
He wasn’t kidding.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, he and his cronies find Constitutional constraints and process a real pain in the a$$.
Which gives me nothing but pleasure. If we’re frustrated with his usurping the law and “working around” things to meet his agendas, he must be doubly frustrated because he can’t do it a-la dictator-style. Is he really a constitutional scholar? I don’t think so. Just another affirmative action puke who chose “lawyerin’” so he could figure out ways to be a thief. Yes, there are such people.
But he lacks the intellect. He’s not very slick but he is a slickster. He thinks he’s pretty sharp but his naivte’ is very pronounced. That is, he thinks that since the MSM doesn’t report on his lawbreaking that everyone is ignorant of it, and if there are any who know about it, they are minor factors and “don’t really matter anyway”.
I never thought I’d see such levels of contempt for the citizenry, such brazen lying, such arrogance from a president.
However, it must be wearing thin on those who are a little slow of the uptake, since more articles are showing up MSM-wise that are critical of Obozo. This is good. But, as the statist functionaries distance themselves from this ridiculous bubble-gum-brained president, where, exactly are they gonna run to?
D’accord with everything you write.
In particular, the point that since the MSM isn’t writing about it, the naive and contemptuous assumption that no one knows.
The statist functionaries are undoubtedly panicking a little, since, if there are any cojones and intelligence left in the population at large, the wet dream comes to a screeching halt November 2012.
Then the dismantling of the federal bureaucracy might (only might) have a chance to begin in earnest.
…makes ACORN, Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA), and a phalanx of leftist groups that regularly feed at the public trough eligible for funding.
Fantastic, government by corruption, workarounds to again feed slimy ACORN & for Obamacare to pay for abortions, walking guns to Mexico to attack the second amendment, giving Solyndra half a billion (plus about 70 million later) knowing full well it was shaky as hell, the guy paying virtually no taxes on profits in the billions, sending jobs to China and set up to profit from “green stuff”, Jeff Immelt, serving as Obama’s jobs adviser… and, of course…
Protecting the democrat donor at all costs
“Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor.”
Government by corruption and insider favors that might even make Billy Clinton blush.
For the first time in my adult life, I’m so proud of my country.
ACORN again??? Just what do we need to do to kill this thing off? Garlic? Stake through the heart? Holy water? Seriously!
PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES might be a start.
I think it’s gonna take THIS.
Ignorance is an awful affliction. ACORN doesn’t exist einstein. If you were actually informed about which you blather, you’d know that. Of course, the author would also know it. He likes getting the lemmings all frothed up – or he’s as ignorant as his readers. Either/or
re Uh Hello………
IF you had read the article, that lil fact was stated. Ignorance is ugly…need a mirror?
Call ACORN what you will – a turd is still a turd by any other name.
uh hello you must be totaly brain dead,
Buy chit,Fix chit, Paint chit, guess what ya got??? ans SHINY CHIT
Yes genius, the pot belly pig under ACORN still smells like a stock yard. So for people like you who can’t tell the difference they renamed the pig sty just to confuse you.
Now all you have to do is go down to trough with all the rest of the piglets until your checkbook squeals.
HOW does it feel to be porked over?
The rest of us here want to hold the pigs to the fire called accountability until their eyes glass over since we all know, “if you put lipstick on a pig , it’s still a pig.”
They never went away, they just changed their name to different names in different states. The community organizer, these is his people
Kill its dark master HUD. It is an agency that richly deserves to be abolished. And then change the laws that allow “non-profits” to do work or receive grants from the Federal government so ACORN can’t find another gubmint sugar daddy.
HUD and all the other agencies not authorized by the Constitution. That’s the only way to kill this kind of beast. If a non profit wants to operate, let them ask the citizens for donations. Then we have a choice in where our money goes.

I give to my church, because I believe in their projects to help the poor. I give to the NRA because I believe in their work to protect my 2nd amendment rights. I would never give to ACORN or any of it’s offshoots because I think it is a parasite feeding off peoples misery for personal gain.
exactly. Walt,
Good grief! I realize congress will never pass this obamanation, but can we really survive until January 2013?
Oh, let’s hope not. You could always select the ron paul health plan and die quickly. That’s one way to end the misery.
I dont get it?
How conveniently you forget that Medicare was stripped of $500 billion to fund Obamacare? Does Obama and the Democrats want all the old people to die? I suspect so, because they’re done paying into the program. And it’s so folksy when you use an Obamanism such as “folks” that I feel a thrill running up my leg.
Downloaded, but haven’t yet read, the “jobs” bill…
Was just looking around the WH website and saw this “White House Blog” -
“Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation”
http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/sicp/about
This crap has GOT to stop! I couldn’t afford it before O, and sure can’t now!
Not only that Matthew-In the “bill” theres a little something designed to see the “permanent trial lawyers protection act”. Its designed to make the UNEMPLOYED a protected class. Go for a job interview-dont get hired-then go to your local TRIAL LAWYER and SUE.
Ah…I certainly hope the readers are smarter than the author of this piece, but I’m not holding my breath. ACORN doesn’t exist any longer, so you all have one less villian to rail upon – you’ll have to get the spittle flying at someone elses expense.
Is it a miserable life being so angry at everything all the time? Paranoia and bitterness appear to be eating you folks alive – starting with any live brain cells you may have.
Bless your hearts…
“Ah…I certainly hope the readers are smarter than the author of this piece, but I’m not holding my breath…”
Oh, I think that the readers are hoping that you do hold your breath.
Indefinitely.
Not that gave me a good laugh! Thank you, sir!
yikes it’s fairly obvioue you have none or you haven’t been paying attention or a combination.the article is about how acorn has morphed into another agency BUT IS STILL CONTROLLED BY THE SAME SLIMEBALS AND CROOKED SONSOFBITCHES,
No this can’t be!
Is this man going to make us send him to prison?
I know that five out of six Governors of Illinois have been sent to prison but the idea that a President would conduct himself in a fashion that will require prison time is so outrageous that it is intolerable. If he has done what deserves prison, he should not get prison; hanging is too good for him.
Avitar you are so right,
To the idiot who says ACORN does not exist..it is now called Community Organizations International.
So taxpayers are to continue to fund Obama’s illicit campaign strategies. Really, all of you who don’t GET that the DNC went south with FDR, wake up.
Exactly:

Good.I hope ACORN gets all the money they can and hopefully most of your money too. I’d be more than happy to see a leftist organization get funds. Better than anything going to a blow-hard conservative who only cares about the wealthy.
MDL aka Mentally Disabled Leftist,
Let me guess…
You think Lefties are free of corruption and corruption.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha! FOOL.
How funny–
try out http://www.rottenacorn.com
Its really funny–the “Progressives” of today have about the same level of ego and the same contempt of who they regard as their social inferiors as the rich slaveholders in the South did before the Civil War.
Guess what dude, the slaves might be revolting–in more ways than one from your point of view. After the revolution comes enjoy your fate of hanging out on street corners holding up signs saying “I am entitled to your money because I’m a morally superior being.” I am looking forward to that day.
Wait a minute MDL- all your other lefty troll buddies are spending all their efforts making light of us saying ACORN doesn’t exist, and here you are claiming they still exist and you hope they get all the money. Did you not get your Alinsky playbook?
Great catch! LMAO!
Libs blow much harder than any conservative ever could!
My goodness, you people do stay on point. Do you have a list and you just plug in the line that seems to fit the best?
And I’m confident that when you and your left-wingers don’t get everything they want from the government, they will be the first to riot openly in the streets.
Thanks to Pajamas Media and Matthew Vadum for investigative journalism. It is truly lacking when you turn on the TV. Anyone that would vote any money to this corrupt organization must not be thinking. Anyone that puts this in to a another one of the same stimulus bills must not be thinking either.
If a single penny goes to ACORN, the whole damn bunch ought to be voted out of office. Such actions make a mockery of any “jobs bill”.
ACORN no longer exists, fyi
porterized- We heard you the first time. Standard lefty policy- Whenever a lefty front group gets caught, simply change their name and pretend they don’t exist. You guys are soooo smart!
It is similar to “global warming” morphing into “climate change” when the warming part didn’t cooperate!
porterised you’r brain dead too.
You have have to do much better than that! Just because you flush the toilet it doesn’t mean the contents no longer exits.
Thanks! I appreciate the back up! Us libs got to lie together. You rock!
Well it isn’t as if we didn’t already know that we needed to abolish HUD and federal grants.
They shouldn’t be able to … but these people constantly surprise and amaze me when I AGAIN realize that they have NO SHAME.
The same tired tricks, the same lies, over and over again.
They do less and less to disguise what they are up to and my heartfelt prayer is that they have come far enough out in the open to be recognized for what they are by the good people of this country and cleansed from their positions of influence.
You can blame ACORN, and Obama personally, with his “community organizing” in Chicago long before he ever became president, for the substandard mortgage debacle and the resulting financial collapse.
It was Obama who played the biggest role in using the grabbermint to arm-twist financial institutions into giving mortgages to ghetto dwellers who had no prospect of ever being able to pay them back.
1389AD
You may want to check the Obama initiation of the “Pigford” bill when he was a junior Senator from the Chicago area.He leaves a trail of “Sleaze” where ever he goes.
Wqw The Zombies have come alive. Must’ve turned off TV’s or lost power and started thinking again. Even Imus thinking there is a grand scheme in all this B H O MaRXISTS TAKE OVER. zombe’S WAKE UP
Maybe we should drive a stake into ACORN, or shoot it with a silver bullet. We tried cutting off it’s head, so they’re not zombies. Vampires and werewolves are the next best guess.
Of course exorcism is the last resort. I’m sure someone in the Vatican has a number we could call.
The whole idea of government using tax dollars to perpetuate their ideology through funding seems criminal! The funding should come from individuals who agree with their agend.
People need to remember that ACORN et. al. were ultimately responsible for the financial disaster we are in now. With the repeal of Glass Steagal in 1999, a rider was put on to enforce jimmy carter’s CRA (community reinvestment act) which made banks give risky loans. Afterwards ACORN et. al. continually sued banks for “redlining” thus forcing them to hand out cash to people who could not afford a home.. and of course they defaulted. Now they get rewarded with more cash..
If the jobs bill is for JOBs, why is there housing money for ACORN and the welfare group included in it? I am becoming more and more sovereign as the days pass.
Um, ACORN no longer exists you lying vindictive turd.
Umm, all the thuggish scum that made up ACORN just re-organized under a different name you lying cowardly turd.
Where are the Republicans, to stop this. You think they might be playing golf with you know who! I would ask about where the democrats are but ACORN is part of the democratic party!
ACORN Was, & Still Exists as Obama’s ARMY of Campaign Workers, & These “Grant’s” etc.. are His Way to Pay Them & Skirt Finance Laws…
However, I Find Comments Made by People NOT USING Their Real Names Cowardice. If You Call Others Names, You Should NOT HIDE Behind Cute Aliases. Stand Up PROUD, Behind Your Views or SHUT UP.
Obumbo needs these “Jobs Stimulus Funds” to pay his army of crooks, thieves, and fraudsters by whatever name they are choosing to hide behind these days; they are all Marxists Democrats needing payment for doing the Devil’s work.
RICO WOULD APPLY HERE NICELY.The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows for the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because they did not actually do it.
RICO is codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 1961–1968. While its original use was to prosecute the Mafia as well as others who were actively engaged in organized crime, its application has been more widespread.
It has been speculated that the name and acronym were selected in a sly reference to the movie Little Caesar, which featured a notorious gangster named Rico.
An alien who is present in a country (which is foreign to him/her) unlawfully or without the country’s authorization is known as an illegal alien of that country.[2] An illegal alien commonly refers to a foreign national who resides in another country unlawfully, either by entering that country at a place other than a designated port-of-entry or as result of the expiration of a non-immigrant visa. An enemy alien is an alien who is a national of an enemy country.
Malfeasance the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used especially of an act in violation of a public trust).
Nonfeasance is to ignore and take no indicated action – neglect. Misfeasance is to take inappropriate action or give intentionally incorrect advice. Malfeasance is hostile, aggressive action taken to injure the client’s interests.
Example: A company hires a catering company to provide drinks and food for a retirement party. If the catering company doesn’t show up, it’s considered nonfeasance. If the catering company shows up but only provides drinks (and not the food, which was also paid for), it’s considered misfeasance. If the catering company accepts a bribe from its client’s competitor to undercook the meat, thereby giving those present food poisoning, it’s considered malfeasance
Well …aren’t the ACORN people Americans? That means Americans will have jobs,and money to spend in the economy! He’s telling you the truth about creating jobs!
PS Obama declared Children Sexual Beings on Aug 23!
Just sit back and relax.
Don’t vote for Ron Paul.
He can’t win.
Check out Obama Girl and be happy!

When I said in 2008 that Obama’s policy for reducing unemployment involved hiring 3,000,000 community organisers I thought I was joking and was surprised American readers of my blog took it seriously.
It seems I wasn’t joking after all.
There are new jobs being created every day! Now the NFL worshipers will get the TSA feel yer pee pee and rub your dub treatment just to get in and cheer their role model boyfriends at the big games !
Trust me…the American men are going to love it and so will the people frisking them.
Hot men go to these games and they are so engrossed in their role model NFL players they often can’t find a woman or even another man to touch them.
Outside of seeing the role models teaching them manhood they get a free squeeze in their shorts!
It’s win win for everyone!
We need our men secured so they can watch their safe role model pro sports guy games showing them men being real men on the gridiron!
The President is very worried about pro sports because he loves to watch them too.
Haven’t you seen him participating in Pro Sports Events?
Making top player pics? Throwing out the first ball at ball games?
He loves and watches ESPN just like you and has identified the danger lurking at your safe role model sports games.
It’s a fun job frisking all those hot men at the NFL games and this jobs bill will create the jobs and buy police like uniforms so the friskings will be very official.
It’s all fun like S&M !
A new study says real men like to be dominated by gals in uniforms and now with gay rights they also like to be dominated by men in police like uniforms too!
It’s the sexy change from the sexy President!
I have a crush on Obama ! You should too.

ACORN is all gone.Don’t worry.They have seen the error of their ways and they are all ashamed of their shady dealings after they were exposed,I think they are voting for that Ron Paul nut and running the Ron Paul Campaign now,and Ron Paul will never win so pay no attention to this baseless article on pajamas media.
This administration had no knowledge of any shady dealings about ACORN and has totally rejected all ties with them,and I heard he has had many ACORNers deported.
The ACORN crowd has virtually disappeared.
There is evidence of them anywhere.
Report the people making the smears about President Obama here!
http://my.barackobama.com/page/signup/o2012-attackwatch-report-an-attack
Obama is going to create real jobs for real people!
Big manufacturing jobs making solar panels! Then we will all have big money and free energy! Obama is the best President EVER !
PASS THIS BILL !
Report these people to Attackwatch
Free energy and free money for all!
Don’t be stupid!
Stop the smears!
If Obama allows that to happen, I will arrest him myself. Funding Acorn is against the law!
Obama needs to start a revolution so he can mandate martial law and cancel the elections in 2012. There is a method to his madness!
So why are we surprised?
There’s Acorn at the trough.

For those who don’t want to see these links it would be interesting to note that some of the supporters are currently running for President: Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry. Tim Pawlenty (former candidate) also worked with ACORN. And why would they sign legislation to work with this company that would not benefit them in some kind of way? When the housing crisis hit, some blamed ACORN for what happened. With that logic that would mean Romney, and Perry played a part too, right?
The Jobs bills has to pass through a Republican Majority House and a Democratic led Senate before President Obama can sign it. Which means for the House there has to be overwhelming support by Republicans. Will there be outage for Congressional GOP who votes yea for this bill?
The information above cannot be attributed to “plantation politics,” or “blind liberal loyalty.” Some would say my sources are liberal based-and they are- but would conservative sites really post this information?
It can be said liberals play the “race card”. And it is sometimes true. But from the responses on this thread, it seems like “The ACORN Card,” still brings negative emotions.
Conservative bias is just as bad as liberal bias.
