Former ACORN Director Gets $445 Mil From U.S. Treasury

The Obama Administration has given a former director at the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) nearly half a billion dollars to offer “struggling” Illinois homeowners mortgage assistance, a Judicial Watch investigation has found.

It means the ACORN official (Joe McGavin) will go from operating a corrupt leftist community group that’s banned by Congress from receiving federal funding to controlling over $445 million in U.S. taxpayer funds. The money is part of a $7.6 billion Treasury Department program to help the “unemployed or substantially underemployed” make their mortgage payments.

Remember, folks, that George W. Bush opened these floodgates by giving the U.S. Treasury unchecked spending power to 'fight' the financial collapse.

Half of that will wind up in Osama Obama’s 2012 “Victory Fund”

“Funny” this story surfaces the same day it’s announced Romney out-fund-raised Obama last month AND it’s for a Chicago “program”.

[volunbeer]

Another scandal for the administration that will be ignored by the MSM. Where is congress?

There has never been a President who has borrowed more money or given more taxpayer money to his friends than this one. Why should my kids have to pay for this crap?

This needs to be exposed and talked about loudly and often.

Pretty sure your great-grandkids will be paying this off. $20 trillion with interest just doesn’t disappear over a couple of years.

Until Americans get together and flood D.C. with their presence, this will never end. None of it.

[Michael.SF.]

So it's all George Bush's fault.

Gee, I wonder who dreamed this thing up?

About the Illinois Hardest Hit Program

[kevao]

Yeah, where is Boenher? Probably off somewhere with his head buried in a box of tissues, weeping like a little girl, and longing for the good old days of GOP minority status.

[onedoug]

Natually our disillustrious House is AWOL again.

[stockpirate]

Gee, so each of the poor can now donate the max to the Obama re-election. I love this government, we have passed the rubicon.......

[GOPJ]

Bush NEVER intended money to go to groups like ACORN ...

[jeffc]

Does anyone know of anyone that has received any of this “assistance”? Have you ever heard of anyone getting it (other than from Big Media)?

[hal ogen]

All these parasitic creeps need to be tried and jailed for their taxpayer-monies malfeasance. Just why isn’t anyone in jail for this? Children and grandchildren will have their lives stunted by this financial misappropriation.

[The Duke]

Does anyone know of anyone that has received any of this “assistance”?

I'm assuming it all went to "Eric Holder's people".

[Carry me back]

Yeah the blacks are recieving billions in handout money right now, to buy big homes and expensive cars. I see it all the time. Massive redistribution going on. The blacks are gaining in the middle class while the times are bad. Put 2 and 2 together.

[Delta 21]

Pure coincidence, I am sure of it.

Is that jack boots I hear??
