White House's Acorn Cookies Surprises Republican Lawmaker

[thundley4]

Any fan of Cookie Monster on Sesame Street knows that "C" is for cookie.

But at the Obama White House, "A" may be for acorn -- as in acorn cookies served at Monday's annual Christmas party.

The chocolate cookies shaped like an acorn were quite a hit with Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.

"I didn't expect to see such stark symbolism," King said in an e-mail.

President Obama worked with the community organizing group ACORN in the mid-90s. But now ACORN faces a host of allegations related to voter fraud in the 2008 election and has been weakened by an undercover expose that shows employees offering tax advice to a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute.

FoxNews IS fair and balanced

No surprise considering Dems recently blocked Republicans from keeping funding from ACORN.

What???  I thought that funding had been cut off long ago!

Constitution forbids 1) interference in contract 2) bills of attainder.    ATTy General determined that the ban by congress was  both.  the government may not create new contracts, but any contracts already in force will be honored. 


Acorn makes money by contracting with the government to provide services to the disadvantaged, like how to evade immigration laws, how to sell underage girls for prostitution, that kind of thing.  If Acorn had  a contract prior to the ban, they will continue to be paid.

There was a way around the DOiJ finding, but DemonRats shot it down.

Public Funding for ACORN Will Continue

House Minority Leader John Boehner has a very small surprise for us: despite lopsided votes in favor of cutting off public funding to Comrade Obama's outrageously corrupt enablers at ACORN in the aftermath of the O'Keefe/Giles videos, the Big Government fire hose will continue to blast a torrent of our money at these vermin. On Tuesday night,

Tom Latham (R-IA) offered an amendment during deliberations on the Democrats' massive year-end appropriations bill to clarify the prohibition on federal funds going to ACORN or its subsidiaries. That amendment was shot down on a 5-9 party line vote as Republicans sided with taxpayers while Democrats stood with ACORN.
Rep. Latham's amendment is necessary to prevent taxpayer money from going to ACORN because the Obama Administration's Department of Justice has taken advantage of a legal loophole to allow ACORN to continue to receive federal funds — despite the passage of the House GOP's Defund ACORN Act in the fall.
Democrats can't let their ACORN storm troopers go unfunded no matter how awful it makes them look, because their votes on Porkulus, Cap & Tax, and healthcare nationalization will make them reliant on the industrial scale voter fraud that is ACORN's specialty if they are to stand any chance of reelection.

We are quickly reaching the point where the charade that the statist looters running Washington represent the people they rob, suppress, and exploit can be dispensed with altogether.
