Cash for Chicago Cronies: Federal Census grant $ for radical Woods Fund
Andrew Marcus at Founding Bloggers points out that federal slush fund money is going to Barack Obama’s old pals at the Woods Fund in Chicago:
Illinois is receiving copious amounts of federal tax payer dollars to “boost awareness” for the upcoming census.
How are they planning on boosting awareness? By handing out millions of dollars to Obama-Progressive friendly groups.
A push to reverse low census participation in Illinois will soon be coming via barber, baby-sitter, tax preparer, librarian and even iTunes download, part of a first-of-its-kind collaboration by local charities.
The “Count Me In” project on Wednesday will announce $1.2 million in grants to 26 groups for census outreach in 37 traditionally undercounted Chicago neighborhoods and cities around Illinois.
The name of one recipient in particular jumps off the page….The Woods Fund.
The Woods Fund was home to jihadi apologist Rashid Khalidi, Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, and Barack Obama — who served on the Board of Directors at a time when the foundation was making grants to ACORN and Jeremiah Wright’s church.
You can take Obama out of Chicago, but you can’t take the Chicago out of Obama.

The mans got to have walkin around money.
We’ve put Tony Soprano into the White House. Business as usual.
Another ill wind blows in the Windy City.
Terrorists need to be counted, too! They need more representation in our government. Obama can’t do this all by himself.
It isn’t just the Woods Fund. If you follow the link to the source document you will also see the Joyce Foundation which Obama used to be on the board of.

Like Chicago; the city that counts its dead…twice. Needs help counting bodies ?
FIFM
This is disgusting, the dangerous cronies Obama is giving our hard-earned tax dollars to. Obama is a wicked “king”.

I have doubled the amount of Zantac I need to make it through the day ever since Obama was elected.
Hangfire, LOL!!!
Once again I must thank the……
Dumba$$ Voters 08′

ajmontana; this is why i laugh clap and cheer everytime i read of more union plant closings. we needed to redistribute wealth in this country, so our unions are losing dues, and the dumbasses who think you can have a job with no employer are losing their houses.
This is one reason I wrote in other posts, the Hussein Obama/axelrod/rhambo admin has no intention of leaving office.
They will buy and steal any vote possible. They will inflate the liberal dem district voting numbers, allow all illegals to vote, steal whatever votes are left with acorn thugs and post armed black panthers at the voting precincts.
Then they get to your kids for the next 40 years of ‘voting’.
Countdown to eliminating the 2 term limit for POTUS……
I say ramblings first appear by late Jan 2010.
Think I’m kidding? Stuart Smalley is a SENATOR for the United States of America. You can’t believe he actually won more votes, not even in the state with the CAIR loving senator ellison.
Cash for CLunkers was a promise the gov’t made to the dealers…. (Not fulfilled).
Social Security was a promise the gov’t made to seniors…(About to go bankrupt and fail).
Medicare..a gov’t promise to seniors….(Going Bankrupt and if Adolph had his way, would defund half of it).
Ohhhh, but I bet you can guarantee that the money promised to the radical anti-American groups, will be fulfilled to the letter.
Is it just me or has our Gov’t Priorities shifted just a tad??…(Sarcasm)
Rashid Khalidi received a chair (the department has a $2,100,000 endowment from the Saudis) at Columbia University and his anti-Israeli Arab American Action Network (headed by his wife) received &75,000 in grants from the Woods Fund while Barry Soetoro, aka Barak Hussein Obama, was on the board of directors.
Is everyone starting to see the patterns?
