WHITE HOUSE GATE CRASHERS: NO BLAME OBAMA

Looks like the Secret Service has fallen on their sword and is taking the blame for allowing the White House gate crashers to gain access to the White House State Dinner last week. They do deserve some of the blame for the security lapse. But, the so does the Obama Administration. Especially this woman:


Who is she? A super model? Nah. She's Desiree Rogers President Obama's Social Secretary. You know the one RESPONSIBLE for the guest list at things like oh State Dinners at the White House. Of course she is in this position because? Well, she was a financial bundler for the Obama campaign and is a gal pal of Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett:
On the other hand I guess you could say the Obama Administration has bought change to the Washington. Especially at events like State Dinners at the White House Here is Exhibit A:

"During President George W. Bush’s administration, it was standard procedure to have someone from the White House social office at the gate for state dinners and other events with large groups of visitors, according to a former senior Bush aide who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to be seen as criticizing the Obama White House.

The social office is most knowledgeable about the guest list and could have been called in case of any uncertainty, this official said…White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, asked by The Associated Press on Thursday whether personnel from her office were at the checkpoint said, “We were not.”"


So what is her philosophy about her job at the White House?


"“My belief is that we don’t always get everything accomplished over a meeting table,”” Rogers says. “Many times it’s over cocktails, it’s over dinner and so the other piece to our work will be what kind of events can we create?”

TRANSLATION: I'm here to party!

Hmmmm You would think Congress investigating the security lapse at last weeks State Dinner might want to question Ms. Rodgers. But, that ain't goin' to happen in the no blame Obama administration. Exhibit C:

"The White House on Wednesday invoked the separation of powers to keep Desiree Rogers, President Obama’s social secretary, from testifying on Capitol Hill about how a couple of aspiring reality television show celebrities crashed a state dinner for the prime minister of India last week."

BORDER BASICS & FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FAILURE

If you want to know one of the ways our Federal Government is failing us United States citizens on illegal immigration you need look no further than the case of Manoj Kargudri. Janet Kephart at the Center for Immigration Studies lays it all out in this video.

WORLD ORDER

I really like this video from Genki Sudo. He is a former mixed martial arts fighter and wrote the lyrics. The music is by Heigo Tani. I just find the video interesting and the music hauntingly beautiful. I hope you do too.




trying to widen the world with great expense
we hear both sides of different voices
we here all these pretty false lies from our ears
in the smallest spaces they have they plant their bended reality.
What is wrong and what is right?
The truth is always a paradox
one generation ends and reflects on the next generation
In the middle of the night I wake up

The rhythm of the universe the rhythm of your love
Dreaming cycle Beautiful Venus

The rhythm of the universe the rhythm of your love
Now in this moment I 'dance'

TERRORIST ON TRIAL ERIC HOLDER'S "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"

There's a lot of questioning about Attorney General Eric Holder's strange decision to put a number of the terrorists on trail in a civilian court in New York. On the face of it seems to be a very strange idea. Until you start to dig deeper as Michelle Malkin has been doing here are some of the money quotes from her reporting:

"If you’ve been paying attention, you already know all about AG Eric Holder and his DOJ staff’s national security conflict of interest as senior partner with Covington & Burling — the prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm, which represents 17 Yemenis currently held at Gitmo."

"The Senate shrugged at the glaring conflict of interest Attorney General Holder presents in handling Gitmo legal issues. Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Cucullu, author of Inside Gitmo: The True Story Behind the Myths of Guantanamo Bay, makes the ethical problem plain:

As a senior partner, he undoubtedly had significant input on what kind of charity cases his firm picked up. He surely knew that dozens of lawyers from his firm were among the 500-plus civilian lawyers representing the 244 or so remaining detainees (on top of military-court-appointed defenders). Even now, his Covington colleagues continue to allege rampant torture at Gitmo. They’re fighting hard to have detainees tried through the US court system—essentially given the same rights as US citizens. And their arguments and plans hinge largely on having Holder issue a bad report card."


Somehow I would waste any time waiting for Keith Olbermann to make a "special comment" on this.

Obama's plan for illegal immigration enforcement: Failure!

Speaking about dumb Obama administration officials. Homeland Security Janet (no enforcement) Napolitano also took out the trash on Friday with the following news

"The Obama administration expects Congress to begin moving to overhaul the nation's immigration laws early next year, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday, adding that improved border security and a drop in migration caused by the economic downturn make such changes "far more attainable" than in 2007." -Washington Post

Let's see where to began with Secretary Stupido of Homeland Security. I wonder where she gets these crazy ideas. Perhaps from her friend:
The Democratic former Governor of New York Elliot Spitzer who before he resigned in disgrace was calling for drivers licenses for illegals and other bright ideas that reward illegals. Secretary Stupido goes on:

"We will never have fully effective law enforcement or national security as long as so many millions remain in the shadows," Napolitano said.

Illegals remaining in the shadows Secretary Napolitano? Here is Exhibit A: Taken on Long Island New York 1500 miles from the southern boarder
Does this look like the illegals are "remaining in the shadows" Ms. Napolitano? Seems to me if I am able to find them loitering out in the open in my community than is it asking too much for my Federal Government to find and deport them? Oh, I forgot it's the Obama administration we are talking about here and when it comes to enforcing U.S. laws regarding illegal immigration:

You gotta know when to hold em. Holder!


It's pretty clear the U.S. Attorney General is not the brightest bulb at the Department of Justice. Exhibit A: The Marc Rich Pardon. But, he makes an excellent bag holder. That's why Bill Clinton used him. Meanwhile, as Air Force One carried President Barack Hussein Obama out of Washington on a trip to ASIA and out of the line of outrage. Holder was put on stage to defend the wisdom of putting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed on trial in a civilian court in New York City. Here is the money quote:

"Eric H. Holder Jr. called his order Friday to send the suspected plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks to trial in Manhattan "the toughest decision I've had to make as attorney general."

Well I guess unlike Obama on Afghanistan at least Eric Holder made a decision. A stupid one but, a decision nonetheless. But, with Obama safely in Japan Eric Holder is once again still left holding the bag.

CNN: Works on the pigs ear.

Following yesterday's Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey Governor's races CNN (the Obama Administrations favorite "news organization outside of MSNBC and one that fact checks Saturday Night Live comedy sketches had this little insane insight:

"Washington (CNN) -- Victories in New Jersey and Virginia Tuesday provided a major shot in the arm for the Republican Party heading into the 2010 elections, but the Democratic losses of these two governorships should not be interpreted as a significant blow to President Obama."

File this under Delusional Analysis! Especially after both Obama and Biden made several trips to try and prop up New Jersey Democratic Govenor John Corzine chances for relection.

Dumbocrats and Victicrats

Somehow I don't think you will ever see this video on Black Entertainment Television or MTV.



Still it's refreshing to see there are some thoughtful voices in this country who refuse to play the victim and race card.

ANITA DUNN AND LEE ATWATER RIGHT AND WRONG

The Obama administration interim communications director Anita Dunn aka Anita Dunce just can't seem to get it right, No pun intended. When she was caught on tape quoting Mao Tse Tung and saying he was one of the political philosophers she turned to often. Her CYA defense that it was something she heard from Republican strategist Lee Atwater.
Mickey Kaus throws cold water on that B.S. excuse:
"Funny thing, though. I can't find a place where Atwater cited Mao. I can find lots of places where Atwater referenced Sun Tzu, whose Art of War he supposedly carried around in dog eared form. ... Hmmm ..."

JFK'S PRESENT FOR BOOMERS

Hello fellow boomers!

Guess what? President John Kennedy has left us a cold war gift. Cancer!

Walter Shapiro is the only reporter who showed up for the press conference and has the money quote:


"In 1961, as John Kennedy was poised to resume atmospheric testing after a two-year moratorium, he met with White House science adviser Jerome Wiesner in the Oval Office one rainy day. The president wondered how fallout reached the earth. Wiesner explained that it was washed out of the clouds by rain. "You mean," Kennedy asked, "it's in the rain out there?" As Wiesner tells it, the president then "looked out the window, looked very sad and didn't say a word for several minutes." Nonetheless JFK, fearful that the Soviet Union might score a nuclear breakthrough, authorized a new round of above-ground testing before negotiating the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963."


A boom in cancer for boomers from the big booms. Why did only one reporter like Shapiro show up to cover the press conference? Well I guess it's not as big a story as Obama inviting a woman to play golf.

OBAMA APPROVED PUNDITS

There was closed door private meeting this past Monday at the White House with a select group of media pundits. Of course there was the typical Obama bootlickers like Keith (Obamamann) Olbermann and his fellow liberal lesbian co worker Rachel Madcow. Just One Minute has the complete list:

"The White House has sent TVNewser the complete list of those who attended the off-the-record briefing Monday: Eugene Robinson, E.J. Dionne, Ron Brownstein, John Dickerson, Rachel Maddow, Frank Rich, Jerry Seib, Maureen Dowd, Keith Olbermann, Bob Herbert, Gloria Borger, and Gwen Ifill. Several members of the staff also attended."

Kind of sad to see Maureen Dowd and John Dickerson in with the rest of the Obama bootlicking crowd. I just hope they were not forced to drink the Obama Kool Aid but, perhaps they already have and that's why they were invited.

How stupid can San Francisco be?

From the NY Times:
"The San Francisco board of supervisors is expected to vote Tuesday to overturn a city policy that has been at the center of a national debate over offering illegal immigrants sanctuary. The policy, ordered by Mayor Gavin Newsom last summer, requires the police to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement whenever they arrest a juvenile on felony charges who they suspect is in the United States illegally. Since the policy took effect in August 2008, more than 100 undocumented minors have been turned over to federal immigration authorities."

I thought the city of San Francisco was coming to around to it's senses when it enacted the law to get the illegals committing crimes on it's streets turned over to the Federal authorities. What bought the people of San Francisco around?

"The city was also shocked by a June 2008 triple murder, which prosecutors say was committed by Edwin Ramos, a suspected gang member and an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who had been arrested as a juvenile by the San Francisco police but
not turned over to immigration authorities."


Too bad it takes the deaths of three people to wake up a city to what happens when you let illegals run amuck in your town. But, now one stupido Supervisor named David Campos is leading the charge to rollback the enforcement. Who is David Campos? Why he's originally from Guatemala and came to this country illegally when he was 14. Hola suckers!

Anita Dunn is a dunce

You can tell how worried the Obama administration is when they have to sic Rahm Emanual to clean up the mess the interim White House communications Director Anita Dunn created last week as she tried to kill the messenger Or at least those at the Fox News channel who are not drinking the Obama cool aid. Glen Beck lays it all out on what the game the Obama liberal/progressives are playing. He does a pretty good smack down of Ms. Dunce speaking before a high school graduation class and quoted one of her favorite political philosophers Mao. Something she later claimed was a joke. Uh Huh!


I wonder how long Ms. Dunce will remain in her position with the Obama administration. Not long if Obama is as smart as I think he is.

OBAMA WINS AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has finally managed to make the Nobel Peace Prize a joke by giving the award to President Obama whose only accomplishment so far has been to make speeches. This is a ridiculous nomination. At least former President Jimmy Carter won the award in the words of the Nobel Prize Committee press release: "decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2002 to Jimmy Carter, for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." What has Obama done? .... I can't wait for the spin on this one.


What should Obama do? Mickey Kaus has an excellent suggestion: TURN IT DOWN! As Kaus points out there is no downside for Obama to just say no:

"He gets at least the same amount of glory--and helps solve his narcissism problem and his Fred Armisen ('What's he done?') problem, demonstrating that he's uncomfortable with his reputation as a man overcelebrated for his potential long before he's started to realize it. ... Plus he doesn't have to waste time, during a fairly crucial period, working on yet another grand speech."

The question is will his ego and/or advisors let Obama follow this advice. I doubt it.

Bertha Lewis is nuts trying to defend ACORN

Bertha Lewis the head of ACORN is so full of crap. She went to the National Press Club in Washington yesterday trying to defend the ACORN organization from the caught on tape video of ACORN employees trying to help undercover reporters who posed as a prostitute and pimp set up an illegal business with ACORNS help. The only thing she did highlight is the hypocrisy of ACORN. Here is the money quote Ms. Big Mouth Bertha:

"The moderator asked whether the misdeeds that were uncovered justified the secret taping. "Nothing trumps breaking the law -- nothing! Nothing!" Lewis responded."

Oh really Ms. Lewis? Nothing trumps breaking the law? Let's roll the video tape of one of the ACORN community organizers in Baltimore no less actually breaking the law.


I expect next time we hear from Bertha she'll defend her organization with a "who are you going to believe? Me or your own lying eyes!"

WHY DID OBAMA FLY TO COPENHAGEN?

My girlfriend (who is/was an Obama supporter) and I are both wondering why President Obama would waste his time, spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars in flying costs and create a carbon foot print a mile wide to make a last minute pitch to the International Olympic Committee to let Chicago host the 2016 Olympics?

Maybe because his phone calls FAILED!

Urges

I've been spending a lot of time away from computers and corporate media for awhile now. Including a lot of time on a sailboat not connected to anything other than the earth via the anchor. Every once in awhile I start to feel the urges to post or comment on something but, so far have not posted in a month. Those urges are getting stronger as we head into fall. So stay tuned.

The Lying Liberal Lion Ted Kennedy Dies

I sometimes wonder if Barack Obama carries a big bundle of bad karma around with him. Considering all the people who have died that have be associated with him. There was his mother who died very young, his father in a car accident. The grandmother who raised him who died never knowing whether he ever became President. Now comes Ted Kennedy whose endorsement of Obama helped push him ahead of Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Presidential nomination.


I'm a registered Democrat but, I don't put Kennedy on a pedestal as Liberal Democrats do. He certainly was no profile in courage and his positions are often way off the mark as his comments on the illegal immigration through the years have shown:

1965: "The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."-Senator Ted Kennedy


1986: "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this." -Senator Ted Kennedy

2007: "Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system." -Senator Ted Kennedy


Then there was how he used his power to help kill the offshore windmill generation project off of Martha's Vineyard because it would ruin the views of he and his elitist neighbors. Then there was his behavior and complicity in the death of Mary Jo Kopeckne. If the Internet had been around when Kennedy drove his car off the bridge I doubt his political career would have survived as long as it did.

EL PRESIDENTE STUPIDIO OBAMA!

From the Washington Post:

"GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Aug. 10 -- President Obama, attending a North American summit with the leaders of Mexico and Canada, said Monday that his administration will pursue a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. immigration system this year but that no action on legislation will happen before 2010.

Wrapping up the two-day meeting, Obama said that there needs to be "a pathway to citizenship" for millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, and that the system must be reworked to avoid tensions with Mexico. "

WHAT? There does not need to be a "pathway to citizenship" for the illegals in this country. There needs to be pathway for the illegal immigrants to the border and the airports so they can be deported to the country's they came from. On the second point the "system" does not to be reworked. It's only our laws that need to be enforced by THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT President Obama! You can start by enforcing the E-Verify employment procedures that make sure that projects using Stimulus tax dollars are using only workers that are legally able to work in the U.S. Something that the Obama administration has delayed FOUR TIMES!

"Without it, he said, Mexicans will keep crossing the border in dangerous ways and employers will continue exploiting workers. "We can create a system in which you have . . . an orderly process for people to come in, but we're also giving an opportunity for those who are already in the United States to be able to achieve a pathway to citizenship so that they don't have to live in the shadows,"

Rewarding those already here illegally with a path to citizenship. Oh yeah, that's a great policy. That's what the did with 1986 Immigration Reform Act. That really solved the illegal immigration problem. Obama does not seem to be able to grasp that it was a failed policy. As far the illegals living in the shadows. President Obama does this look like the illegal immigrants are living in the shadows?

The swearing in of Sonia Sotomayor

"WASHINGTON — Justice Sonia Sotomayor took the judicial oath on Saturday, becoming the first Hispanic and third woman to serve on the Supreme Court in United States history.- New York Times

The liberal media have been playing up the "historic" nomination Sonia Sotomayor and the how today she will be sworn in at the Supreme Court. Well since I am in Washington D.C. working out of the BCP bureau I thought I would jump on the Washington Metro and after a few stops get off at Union Station. Than saunter over to the Supreme Court building and checkout the action for this "historic" event. I thought it good that Sotomayor did a 180 on her statements about the "wise Latina woman" making a better decision than a white male during the hearings. Though I would have liked to hear a little bit more of her involvement with racist organizations like La Raza. Because of all the media hype about her being the first "Latino" Supreme Court Justice I was fully expecting to see the plaza in front of the Supreme Court filled with Hispanics and the groups that represent them for this "historic" occasion. I expected to see both U.S. citizens and illegals coming out for this "historic" swearing in of Justice Sotomayor. Instead I saw this:
More Security Guards then people on the Plaza. The above photo was taken a few minutes past 11 AM as Sotomayor was being sworn in by Justice Roberts. No La Raza, No Puerto Rican Defense Fund groups, no pro illegal immigrant groups and illegal immigrant amnesty supporters. Here another shot of the crowd gathered out side the building:
Which appeared to be mostly made up of gringo tourists from Ohio and other states visiting D.C. No placards of support for Sotomayor no posters in Spanish (Thankfully). Just a few tourists wandering around and of course:
The "media"! I kind of felt sorry for them as there was not much a story here for them to cover . No crying Latinos praising Sotomayor for having achieved ascendancy to the Supreme Court of the United States. No illegals saying what an inspiration she was to them. So much for "historic" occasions in the history of Latinos in America. But, one politician did show up and make some comments to the media:
Congresswoman Nadia Velaquez of New York. Who was actually sworn in by Sonia Sotomayor when she first became a Congresswoman.

I listened in as a reporter interviewed her. She said that the Sonia Sotomayor's rise to the Supreme Court should be a lesson for all the young Latinos out there that if you work hard and study even though you live in the projects with all the bad things and violence around you can still get ahead in America. I'd say that it's not just a lesson for "young Latinos" but, any young person in this country.

Notes from the BCP Washington Bureau

I've been away from the keyboard for awhile after being on a trip to Africa and enjoying the Long Island summer. But, that does not mean I have not been getting outraged about what is going in the country. Working here in Washington for a few weeks has gotten my ire raised even a more. So I think it's time to fire up the keyboard once again. So stay tuned!

Some questions for Sonia Sotomayor .....



As the United States Senate begins to hold hearings on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. I hope that the Senators ask some probing questions of her affiliations with ethno centric racial groups like La Raza. Of course the Democrats are going to play dumb and lob softball questions at her. So it will be up to the Republicans to dig into her soul and see how impartial she can be on the bench. If I were able to ask some questions of Sotomayor I would ask her if she knows what group is represented by this flag:


It's the flag on the Puerto Rican Liberation Front. I would then follow up if she thinks these four "Latinos" from this group:

Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andrés Figueroa Cordero, Lolita Lebrón and Irvin Flores who on March 1 1954 entered the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. unfurled a banner and started shooting wounding 5 Congressmen. I would ask Ms. Sontomayor would she would consider these four latinos terrorists? I think her answer would be most interesting to know before the Senators vote on her nomination.

LI Congressman Tim Bishop gets an earful from "activists" but, not the ones he is use too.

Why should the radical liberal ACORN "activists" have all the fun? Congressman Tim Bishop of Long Island found out what happens when middle class taxpayers are "silent no more" and start to let their elected leaders know how pissed off they are.


I've had my own issues with Tim Bishop on his support of amnesty for illegal immigrants. It looks like others have issues with him and the other liberal Dems who are running congress. People are not in the mood for pols like Bishop to try and fly under the radar and want results from our Federal Government. We are tired of being reminded of the Federal Government's failures like illegal immigrants loitering around on street corners. Excuses no longer cut it and the people who were willing embrace change with Obama are becoming active enough to make other changes that liberal Dems like Bishop may soon find out about the hard way in the next election.

CONYERS: The coward, the criminal and the "powers that be"

In a stunning example about how corrupt the ethics of the liberal Democrats now in charge of the congress have become two items stood out concerning the Democratic head of the House Judiciary Committee john Conyers. All of which was ignored by the liberal mainstream media. One was that his wife Monica Conyers a Detriot councilwoman pleaded guilty to Federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery. That was bad enough but, even more egregious is that Conyers head of the Judiciary Committee is not going to be investigating ACORN the organization that is now a target of 14 voter fraud investigations. When Conyers was pressed why his committee would not be holding hearings he said the "powers that be" did not want it. Here is the money quote from the WASHINGTON TIMES:

"Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh, whose testimony about ACORN at a March 19 hearing on voting issues prompted Mr. Conyers to call for a probe, said she was perplexed by Mr. Conyers' explanation for his change of heart.
"If the chair of the Judiciary Committee cannot hold a hearing if he want to [then] who are the powers that he is beholden to?" she said. "Is it the leadership, is it the White House, is it contributors? Who is 'the power?'"


Indeed who are the "powers that be" that led Conyers to drop any hearings into ACORN. It's a question that won't be asked by the liberal mainstream media that's for sure. But, we citizens should be demanding an answer to.

Stepping out with the CAPITOL STEPS



A number of years ago I visited the Washington Office of my Senator the once honorable Alphonse D'Amato to express my opposition to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.. There I was greeted by one of the Senator's senior staffers Elaina Newport. A woman who looked familiar. Back then she looked an awful lot like Ann Coulter. Come to think of it I have never seen a picture of them together. But, it was only later that I realized that Ms. Newport was a member of the Washington D.C. based satirical comedy troupe The Capitol Steps. Since I'm working out of the BCP Washington Bureau for the next week we decided to go see the Steps at The Ronald Reagan Center where they preform every Friday and Saturday night. I was not disappointed. Even better the show we were attending was being taped for the Capitol Steps Fourth of July radio show on NPR next weekend. So check your local listings you might hear me and the rest of the audience having a good laugh and you will too!

Michael Jackson is dead but....

The creepy Michael Jackson has died but, strangely life goes on for billions of other people around the world. But, you could not tell that to the mainstream media and cable news directors. Who were weeping but the tears were tears of joy. As they they dropped all other news to cover this idiots death endlessly. It was just another reason to keep the TV turned off, I should have known better. Luckily there was CSPAN which had an interview with David Frost of "Frost/Nixon" fame which had no mention of the bankrupt pop star's death. I hope they cover their own demise as well. Because when it came to covering any important news the cable news outlets were useless places for it yesterday.

Obama & Americorp scandal: Let the corruption begin

Dow average rises and so does the media BS!

Media outlets like CNN and others are making a big whoop de do about how the Dow Jones industrial averages oth are rising into the positive territory for the first time this year. Sounds good doesn't it? That what the Obama administration would love you to believe. But, before you take those numbers at face value remember the both Citigroup and General Motors were knocked off the Dow Jones list recently. How could it not go up with those pieces of crap stocks not in the average anymore. File this news in the Hello Suckers file for now.

TV OR NOT TV THAT IS THE QUESTION


Well today is the day that TV stations across America will be turning off their analog TV transmitters and only broadcasting in the new Digital transmission format. I have not turned on my TV set since April and you know what I don't miss it it at all. I am able to get all the information I need from the Internet and radio. I find I'm actually more productive in doing this. I can listen to radio (mostly for weather forecasts) while doing other things. The Internet also allows me to get right to the information I need and not what some TV news director or programmer thinks I'd be interested in (or feels I should be interested in). So as far as the change in the TV transmission. I've made my television change months ago by keeping the TV set in the off position.

Working Families Party and ACORN in the hood.

I was working in the garage at Rancho de BCP here on Long Island the other night. I thought I heard someone knocking on the front door. A few seconds later I saw a young twenty something fellow come into view. He saw me and stopped. He held a clipboard with a petition or poll and mentioned he was from the Working Families Party. He asked if I could answer a few questions. I looked at him and said I really don't care for groups that are associated with ACORN. He stopped and said I understand and then just walked away. Looks like the organizers for the radical left group ACORN and the Working Families party are counting on the uninformed voters not knowing about the ACORN/Working Families connection. But, I am not one of those voters.
