What did Bush do in response to 9/11 that you think was so great? I know that HE and Cheney kinda HID quite a bit right after the attack. They were in "undisclosed" locations..LOL The White House was the preferred target of United flight 93. Would you have preferred that the president and vice president delivered themselves directly to Osama Bin Laden himself? What Bush did was make damn sure that the US didn't get attacked again. He took the fight to the people who attacked us. He set up shop in Iraq so that all of the muslim extremists would have a local target. He made sure that instead of attacking unarmed civilians, the muslim extremists were fighting a well armed military that could kick their collective asses. Did the stimulus actually GIVE a lot of money to this "ACORN" organization? Was it directly to these acorn guys or to some other organization they were involved with or what? ballotpedia.org According to an October 8, 2008 article in the New York Post, 40% of ACORN's operations are funded through grants it receives from various governmental entities.[7]. Grants have been issued to ACORN by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which gave $8.2 million to ACORN in the years between 2003 and 2006, as well as $1.6 million to ACORN affiliates. The Environmental Protection Agency gave a $100,000 grant to ACORN in 2004 for a Louisiana Justice Project, which removed lead from the homes of low income families. The Justice Department also gave a grant to ACORN in 2005 for a juvenile delinquency program. [8] a notso objective source spectator.org factcheck.org Q: Does the stimulus bill include a $5.2 billion payoff for ACORN? A: The bill does include funds for which ACORN would be eligible to compete - against hundreds of other groups. But most is for a housing rehabilitation program ACORN says it never applied for in the past and won’t in the future. and yet, right on Acorn's website under allied organizations is acorn housing corporation. "The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now established the ACORN Housing Corporation (AHC) in 1986 to build and preserve housing assets. Since its inception, AHC has assisted over 45,000 families to become first time homeowners, and has rehabilitated over 850 vacant and abandoned housing units" acorn.org
