It pays when someone else pays.
I initially thought President Obama was going to turn a blind eye and neglect the housing crisis in his porktabulous $787 billion spending bill in favor of doorknobs, STD awareness, hybrid cars and abandoned mine sites. It looks like I couldn't be more wrong ... and it took an article I read at the Indy Mind blog to bring it to my attention. (Thanks a million, Arkady).
Nothing apparently gets by President Obama - that is, except the truth, American values and the need to keep terrorists caged. Housing, as it turns out, is a huge priority for our 44th Chief Executive. To that end, Obama is, in fact, going to push a boatload of money toward housing - $13.5 billion in total, according to the bill he is expected to sign on Tuesday.
However, in the spirit of clarity, it should be noted that all of that critical stimulus money - needed, we were told, in short order to keep the United States breathing- is being directed toward "section 8 housing, low-income and public housing." And two billion of that money is going toward "abandoned and foreclosed homes."

It was always pretty obvious that they were going to buy those homes and give them to ACORN voters.
But he sure made a big deal of the “middle class” during his campaign. Where is our help?
Government programs NEVER work the way they are intended to. If fact, looking at the list of housing goals in the article I can’t imagine any of them will come to fruition. There are too many layers of beauracracy that will take their cut before it even gets to the poor.
Will there be oversight or accountability? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
This is New Orleans Style Politics... spread the Ninth Ward to as many neighborhoods as possible, then when Election time rolls around, the buses will make their rounds... food drink and party favors.
The end result of porkulas has already been viewed by the world a few times, most recently Katrina illuminated our Nations future.

Whaaaat? Have you not heard?
We all get 13 dollars more a week (taxable income mind you) because of the LARGEST MIDDLECLASS TAX CUT IN HISTORY (according to Nazi Pelosi).
You should be greatful!
(Do I really need the sarcasm tag here?)
All those foreclosed homes will go to the Section 8 housing and when the homes and neighborhoods are shot out and decrepit, he’ll move them along down the road.
In Atlanta, when the Olympics came in 96, they moved the worst of the worst in Gubmint housing out of Atlanta and into Clayton County. Clayton County has now lost it’s school accreditation, crime is rampant and housing values have gone down tremendously. It used to be a nice suburb of Atlanta.
I am mentioning no race here, I am mentioning the welfare crowd and that spans many races and cultures. But when you give something to someone, they don’t treat it with value. Easy come, easy go.
Hush up! He just gave you $13 a week more in your paycheck! What more do you want?
His “teacher,” Saul Alinsky, hated the middle class:
“...as part of the middle class, they are also part of our racist, discriminatory culture.”
That way, ACORN gets paid back, blue voters get inserted into red territory, and our communities get “organized.”
How long has this plan been in the works?
Exactly
