Census Director to Work Directly with White House

Census Director to Work Directly with White House
Quote
By Philip Rucker
President Obama has decided to have the director of the U.S. Census Bureau work directly with the White House, the administration said today, a move that comes as the Census Bureau prepares to conduct the 2010 census that will determine redistricting of congressional seats.

Under the Bush administration, the Census Bureau director reported to the commerce secretary. Obama is adding oversight of the director by senior White House aides, but keeping the bureau itself under the umbrella of the Department of Commerce, White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said.

After Obama nominated a Republican, New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg, to head Commerce, Latino advocates voiced concern about him overseeing the politically delicate task of determining the nation's population. But LaBolt suggested Obama's changes to the organizational structure have been long in the making

Census Director to work directly with White HouseSTORY

So let me get this straight.  We get insulted with the attempt of trying to take away the philibuster by the appointment   And then instead of actually letting the man DO his job then he will be twisted into the socialist change that is the agenda of that crook Emanual and his puppet Obama.

This just keeps getting worse and worse.

You know the scary thing is things like this and the schip are the kinds of things that will be slipped in and done without too much notice by the MSM because they will be focused on the more sensational things like his nonstimulus bill and the charges being dropped on that animal that spearheaded the Cole bombing.

We...are...F*****

H5 for bringing that over.

I read about the issue over at Newsbusters but I'm already raving like a madman about the "stimucrack" and don't wish to sound too much like a raving moonbat in one night. Your right though. This is a bigger story than it will ever get credit for in the MSM.

On January 25, as noted by yours truly here at NewsBusters ("Obama 'Shifting Power From Traditional Cabinet Posts"), Jonathan Martin at Politico.com reported that President Obama "is moving to create perhaps the most powerful staff in modern history – a sort of West Wing on steroids that places no less than a half-dozen of his top initiatives into the hands of advisers outside the Cabinet." (The picture on the right is at that report.)

I'm not aware that any Old Media outlet besides Politico itself, which is largely a collection of Old Media alums, has covered this development.

The power grab continues. My bet is that Old Media will also maintain its studied ignorance of this development, despite years of whining about alleged Executive Branch excesses during the Bush administration.

Can we expect anything else of the former Acorn community activist? It's totally frightening. They're trying to assure a total Dem takeover of the political process.

By corruption and fraud no less. And all in less than a month.

Two more beers and I'll either pass out or start passing out torches and pitchforks.

don't worry, they'll respond for you...
My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

If you refuse to respond, you are willingly reducing your political power, as those who want to redraw the lines to make more areas blue over report their numbers... arbitrarily deciding to not participate because you don't like the way the game is going smacks of "I'm taking my ball and going home"
