Obama administration continued to fund ACORN

New documents obtained by Judicial Watch, proves that the Obama administration continued to fund ACORN after all funding was banned for that organization. ACORN Housing changed their name to Affordable Housing Centers of America. All the top officials at ACORN Housing retained the same positions at AHCOA. They also retained the same tax number.

In 2010, AHCOA was found to have misappropriated funds from a $3,252,399 federal grant. The Obama GAO determined that for funding purposes, AHCOA was not a subsidiary of ACORN. Earlier in the year, then ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Darrell Issa concluded:

“Committee investigators have discovered that Affordable Housing Centers of America, Inc. maintains the same Tax Identification Number as ACORN Housing, Inc., its predecessor. This means that, for tax purposes, Affordable Housing Centers of America and ACORN Housing are the same.”

Just as criminals change their aliases, ACORN is changing its name. But make no mistake about it, just because they change their name, doesn’t mean anything has really changed at all.”

Since there was a federal ban on public funding of ACORN by the federal government, they should not have received a federal grant. NeighborWorks America, a public/private entity, funded by the taxpayers of the United States, determined that was a violation of federal law.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton concluded, “Barack Obama is truly the president from ACORN – as this illegal funding by his administration of these ACORN fronts shows. And at the same time we learn that the Obama administration is unleashing a vast new federal program to force ‘low-income’ housing into every single community in America, we find out that HUD is continuing illegally to fund ACORN spin-offs committed to carrying out Obama’s dictums. This is not a coincidence.”

I've said many times that they pay no attention to any laws and break them as they see fit.

I wouldn't hold my breath. As screwed up as it is, he is probably the most untouchable president in American history.
