Great Oaks from Little Acorns

It really doesn’t matter who said it first but millions of people around the world are now saying the same thing …….

Obama is a Slow Learner!

Sometime last year, a Democrat-dominated Congress were shamed into cutting off all funding to ACORN because of the corruption and illegalities which swirled about this organization. Now remember, Obama worked for and/or on behalf of ACORN way back when in the “hood”. Perhaps ACORN even helped him to get elected first locally, then statewide and to position he now holds.

And so it was not surprising, when one digs into the Obama budget for next year, to find loopholes. Now is it lawyers who love loopholes or is it politicians who do or is it just Chicago a lawyer-politician thing? Anyway, buried in the minutiae of the budget is a provision to restore the funding to that highly-dubious organization. But, this time, it’s via the back door in the time-honored tradition of the Chicago thug.

The mechanism this time is to allocate $4 Billion as “Community Development Block Grants”. And included in the list of recipients is ACORN.

I’m sure they thought that would slip under the radar because the “bag men” would be the States. And it might have remained that way were it not for this writer and many others who watch these guys like hawks.

So what else is next?

Sometime, about a week ago. Obama assumed his professorial voice and pose and pronounced that. “No American Citizen, (Or anyone else for that matter) has a reasonable expectation of privacy as they use their cell phone”.

Last week, this view was endorsed by the 3rd Circuit of the Federal Appeals Court in Philadelphia who determined that our privacy rights as protected by the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment do not apply.

Clearly this issue is going to the United States Supreme Court but there is more as they say on the late-night shopping channels …………

Two years ago and even before that, Obama excoriated the Bush presidency for their determination to track terrorists by whatever means worked. And he was cheered on by the ACLU and by every commentator on every liberal-dominated TV news network. And that included ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and NBC.

Where is the outrage now?


And there is more even yet …….

Not just your calls can be tracked but also where you are where you make them. Note, I did not say when because that’s part of the normal data collection which is necessary for billing.

And again, the Obama administration does not need a warrant to demand those records. They do not even have to show “Probable Cause”.

Again, I plead where is the outrage from liberals?

Well I doubt you’re going to hear it any time soon.

As Obama takes the plunge in the polls, well it’s not all bad news for all liberals.

Just take a look at the picture at the top.


Well, it'll play in Plains, Georgia .............
