Freedom of BLEEP

About $4 billion of the stimulus package will be handed out to organizations like ACORN. This group of henchmen for the Democratic Party get in trouble almost every election for voter fraud. And they’ve been at it again.

In Las Vegas, ACORN is being charged on 26 counts of voter fraud and 13 counts for compensating those registering voters. And these are directors being charged, not irresponsible underlings that the organization can sweep under the rug.

From coast to coast, ACORN has been creating fraudulent registrations and submitting fraudulent votes. How can they eligible for stimulus money (that was obviously intended for them)?

Simply because there is no accountability. Who is in charge of oversight for stimulus spending? Why, you are, of course! How are you supposed to do this? You can’t!

“The government website dedicated to the spending won’t have details on contracts and grants until October and may not be complete until next spring — halfway through the program, administration officials said.” Isn’t the government great?

The best part is that the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board blames the delay on their server - which doesn’t have enough data storage capacity. Is this brand new government department using a computer from the 80’s? A single gigabyte can easily store several hundred thousand pages of text. I suppose the next year will be spent migrating small sections of data to the new server using a 3.5 floppy disk.

Or perhaps more likely, the Transparency Board will spend the next year doing exactly what they were told to do. Nothing! So much for President Obama’s promise to scrutinize “every dime” of how the $787 billion stimulus package is spent.

During his campaign, Obama said he would run the most transparent government we’ve ever had. But the new stimulus bill is up for vote today, and the Republican congressmen still haven’t even seen it - let alone the general public!

The day after inauguration, our President said, “Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency. Our commitment to openness means more than simply informing the American people about how decisions are made.”

Well at least we know how decisions are made… Congressmen will have only a few hours to read hundreds of pages of legislation before 9 AM!

What happened to the democrats’ promise that the new stimulus bill would be posted on the internet at least 48 hours prior to the vote? They flat out lied. Why are they are so afraid of letting the American people know what’s in this bill?

Furthermore, our President has been telling lies left and right to get this bill passed. According to Obama, the CEO of Caterpillar “said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”

But Jim Owens actually said the exact opposite! “I think realistically no. The reality is we’re going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again.”

What else is Obama lying about?
