Obama Rails Against Oil Subsidies, Gave ACORN $3 Billion in Stimulus

Yeah, how dare those evil oil companies who produce a product we all need get money from the federal government.
President Obama lashed out at oil companies — and the tax breaks they get from the government — for a second consecutive day on Thursday and again in Saturday's address.

“Four billion dollars of your money are going to these companies at a time when they’re making record profits and you’re paying near record prices at the pump,” the president said at a Nevada town hall. “It has to stop.”
Funny, but he didn't have such objections when the criminal enterprise known as ACORN was given $3 billion in his stimulus scam two years ago.
At least $53 million in federal funds have gone to ACORN activists since 1994, and the controversial group could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states.

The economic stimulus bill enacted in February contains $3 billion that the non-profit activist group known more formally as the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now could receive, and 2010 federal budget contains another $5.5 billion that could also find its way into the group’s coffers.

An Examiner review of federal spending data found that ACORN has received at least $53 million in federal money since 1994.
So glad to see the media point out his hypocrisy. Oh, nobody has?

ACORN is an organized criminal empire and they committed massive voter fraud to install their sock puppet in the place of power, if <span>Øbambi doesn't quid-pro-quo, Andy Stern will have to pay his 38th visit to the White House (I hear his has his own room there)</span>

So much wrong with this statement, but I got a kick out of Boehner's threat to call Obama's bluff and get rid of the subsidies.  That would just lead to higher prices and make Obama's re-election even more difficult.

Criminal theft from taxpayers

Correction: Obama passed a bill containing a $3 billion provision of which ACORN may have been quaified for a couple million if it had not been defunded by a Senate amendment in late 2009.


Get your facts straight.

Besides, $53 million over ten years is nothing compared to what KBR defrauded the government out of according to the Pentagon's own auditors.
