2. ACORN isn't/wasn't part of the executive branch. The WH isn't the problem there, Congress is.

But you knew that already.

You're just looking for new ways to bash the President.

5. Obama owes ACORN an apology. A huge apology. Look up what he said.

6. Read what I posted in this forum regarding ACORN.
A lot of people owe ACORN an apology, including myself. When I first saw those tapes, I was angry at ACORN. Then I started to think the tapes were heavily edited. A lot of people were fooled. No more...Breitbart has been shown to be a fraud.

10. Did you write your congressional representatives when they were in trouble?
Did you march in protest and/or support of them? If not, the apologies could just as easily start with yourself.

12. No.
Obama and Congress actively assaulted ACORN.

I did not.

Do you see a difference?

15.  Actually, I DID. My husband had been endorsed by ACORN and I knew what a great group
they were. They deserve an apology from the president,Congress, the news agencies, and all of those who didn't gibve a damn and all who were just afraid they might make a favorite pol "look bad".

16. I guess what it comes down to, is
Obama has no friends on either the right or the left. Why did he ever want this job?

17. If he lost "fucking retard" friends on the left, that was his choice.
Edited on Thu Jul-22-10 06:20 PM by Dr Fate
He didnt have to drive the left away by constantly siding with Blue Dogs, DLCers, conservatives and foreign corporations instead of us- he thought it would be a good strategy.

If things are not working out and he lost some of his "fucking retard" friends, then it was still a choice that he made.
