This is turning into a spectators sport of grand, epic proportion. I must admit that I want a front row seat for when they start feeding on each other!!

FYI; La. is a red state. Bush was bashed for only coming an average of once every 3 months. It’s October 15th and Obama has his first trip to La. planned today. He is being called out by Vitter and Scalise (Republicans) for not spending more than 3 hours on the ground in La. Landrieu (Democrat) is praising him for all he has done which is absolutely nothing! (Note the number of times he and Biden have jetted off to visit Blue states, like 36x’s to Pennsylvania). Also note that William Jefferson, New Orleans Congressman in photo above is going to jail….yes he was convicted. He is the one who had 90k in his freezer. He also, after Katrina, during the search and rescue, commadeered a National Guard unit and made them escort him to his home in N.O. where he spent, I believe, about 2 hours inside, while the Guard soldiers who could have been saving lives waited for him to come out. It’s been reported that La. received about 75 billions dollars in govt aid for Katrina, but they never break it down. It’s actually at least 120-130 billion dollars! There was 60 billion spent to clean up the streets, haul off the hundreds of thousands of cars, refrigerators, and even bulldozed houses after the flooding went away. This was not paid by insurance companies. The govt paid this. Contractors were brought in from outside of La. to do the work and many layers of subcontractors were used resulting in govt contractors shoving money into their pockets while the ones actually doing the work received minimum wage. There were also the cases of …. well I watched 16 people take 2 days to cut down a tree. Included were FEMA, local reps, state reps, Army Corp reps, safety inspectors, contractor overseers, traffic control, heavy eq operators, and others. It was utterly amazing to see the waste. Now for the 75 billion….most of that was not paid by the govt! That money included the private insurance claims paid by insurance companies. And they should not include the fed flood insurance, but they include that as well. Insurance claim money does not come from the govt. this was paid by the ones making the claims in the form of premiums. Why so much money…..there were over 250,000 homes destroyed! (Compare to those forest fires in Calif. where 3000 homes get destroyed…just comparing, God bless them) For Acorn, they did nothing after Katrina for a long time. They started by organizing in other cities to get their people to return. Then they started demanding money from the government. Most of the work that was done in N.O. after Katrina was done by charity orgs like churches and fundraising groups. Not Acorn! The money spent in N.O after Katrina and still being dumped here was wasted! If you go through the destructed neighborhoods, you won’t see that money. You will see homes rebuilt with insurance money and donations. And you will see alot of empty land. Somebody walked away with their pockets stuffed and no one cares. The Army Corp of Engineers have even short changed the fixing of the problem. Seriously! There is corruption there as well. Billions of dollars are possibly being thrown away…..this all could happen again. The fact that N.O. is as blue as possible is offset by the fact that La. overall is Red. Sorry for commenting on different stuff here, but just had to get some thoughts out. I would love to follow the money, but just like Acorn, there are so many layers involved, that it would probably be impossible to figure out where all that money went.

Coincidentally, I have just reached the chapter about ACORN in Michelle Malkin’s book, “Culture Of Corruption”. It’s fascinating (if not disappointing) stuff.

And what a filthy organization it is. Granted, no organization is squeaky clean all the time. But this agency has truly re-invented the wheel when it comes to bribes, theft, lying, well, you-name-it. Once it’s blown up, someone will name names and Barry’s will come out and he will be forced to answer for it. Unless he has a lackey to “throw under the bus” as has become such a common phrase these days.

However, there’s already substantial evidence that Obama=ACORN=Obama. Who knew that Pythagoras was such a racist?

Tough to get around that math.

“Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.”

I like this tactic.

Acorn is rotten to the bone. They also stole the Minnesota election from Norm Coleman.
