WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has chosen Robert M. Groves to be the next census director, turning to a professor who has clashed with Republicans over the use of statistical sampling to lead the high-stakes head count.
The White House will announce the selection of Groves on Thursday, a Commerce Department official told The Associated Press. The official demanded anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak before the announcement.

I never thought the Clinton machine could be beat.
I was very wrong.
Whats the odds this guy didn’t pay his taxes? They are going after the Census. This country is so screwed.
Two Census Goons are in our neighborhood today....walking door to door, with their little labeled bags.....Can’t wait till I see them, but am wondering if it was the Census people that my husband saw taking a picture of our house (from a car) last night....hhmmmm....
I’ve heard that all you need to tell them is how many in the household and if they vote?
Anyone know where to get verification to print up to hand them.....along with a stfu and get off my property?
Show me his tax returns.
Not even subtle. Groves is entirely into the manipulation of the census to produce the desired results.
“Republicans have been crying foul after the White House earlier this year indicated that it would take greater control over the census to address minority group concerns”
That should wake up everybody given obobo’s ACORN decided involvement plus the WH micromanaging. Egads! I’m running for cover.
What machine do you think is behind Obama?
There aren't two machines.
What machine do you think is behind Obama?
There aren’t two machines.

You are exactly right. I thought of that after I posted.
Go O Go. Left O Go. Faster O, Faster. That America repent sooner, Lest it remain ASLEEP.
I’m just surprised Obama didn’t outsource the whole census operation to ACORN. Then we would have learned that the country is 70% Black and Hispanic.
Water Balloons! They're not just for parties anymore!
Ive heard that all you need to tell them is how many in the household and if they vote?”
I think you only have to reveal how many are in the house.
How you vote would be a violation of your privacy.
Last month, the census bureau announced sites for job applications and testing. Without warning, they cancelled all the test sessions in the suburbs, leaving sessions only in black and hispanic areas of town.
They aren’t being very subtle about this.
A hundred bucks? Worth every penny.
But I remember last time....people said the same....and the "takers" won...in the end.
Hey I’m unemployed and recently got a job with the census; we’re not all ‘goons’, and I am just as upset at its politization as you are! If anything this is wrong; if we don’t have fair elections then are we even a ‘Republic’?
