A Housing and Urban Development Department lawyer asked the Justice Department whether the new law meant that pre-existing contracts with Acorn should be broken. And in a memorandum signed Oct. 23 and posted online this week, Mr. Barron said the government should continue to make payments to Acorn as required by such contracts.
The new law should not be read as directing or authorizing HUD to breach a pre-existing binding contractual obligation to make payments to Acorn or its affiliates, subsidiaries or allied organizations where doing so would give rise to contractual liability, Mr. Barron wrote.
The deputy director of national operations for Acorn, Brian Kettenring, praised Mr. Barrons decision.
We are pleased that commitments will be honored relative to Acorns work to help keep Americas working families facing foreclosure in their homes, Mr. Kettenring said.

Dem corruption is out in the open and in full force.
**We all knew the ban on ACORN was a joke and they would find a way around it.
At least most of us did.
**************
—But Representative Darrell Issa ... said “the bipartisan intent of Congress was clear — no more federal dollars should flow to ACORN.” “It is telling that this administration continues to look for every excuse possible to circumvent the intent of Congress,”
*************
Mebbe you’re right. But we shouldn’t quit FIGHTING.
Thank you Darrell Issa - we are indebted to your continued rally cry.
Will other Conservatives please join in Issa’s clarion call for simple justice to be done?

Dem corruption is out in the open
+++++++++++++++
Time to BEAT ‘em silly with it...They are Nixon’s admin times a magnitude of 100. And where are the fools Woodward and Bernstein, et al? No where to be found, I tell ya.
Those wonks, the RAT press have NO INTEGRITY left, not even one shred. This sick, rotting, threatening death to a nation corruption, is their self same corruption.
“Oh, so now the Oba Mao administration is arguing that contract law matters?”

Oba Mao makes up law as they go along. What Constitution? What legal precedent?
GRRRRRRRR...11/2010!
Gangsters, pure and simple.
Is there anybody out there who did not understand what the vote in Congress was about when they tried to prohibit Acorn from continuing the illicit practices that they were preforming? Then steps in Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder and the vote and the will of the people are negated! Change you can believe in all right!

Un-fricken believable.
Delete 'ACORN' and insert 'Company X'. Then assume what the response would be from the DoJ if 'Company X' was caught red-handed advising and/or facilitating; FRAUD, TAX EVASION,PROSTITUTION, CHILD ABUSE, or any criminal activity. Also assume that 'Company X' did not aide and/or assist in Barry O'Bama (sic) being elected POTUS, and as such, Eric Holder being appointed as US Attorney General .
Now maybe it's just me, but I'd 'assume' that the DoJ would say every existing 'Binding' contract is now Null and Void and not one penny more should be paid to 'Company X, its affiliates, subsidiaries or allied organizations'.
Before Holder was confirmed I said he was a 'quasi-criminal' for his actions under Billy Jeff and the pardons. Well IMO, Holder has crossed the line, he isn't 'quasi' any more. When the Republicans take the House back in 2010, Job #1 is launching a criminal investigation into Eric Holder.

“massaged”
What a nice euphemism for falsified.
