How about The Wall Street Journal they get an -- tricks although they have fled the way a little bit on this one. The times in the post get an aspect because they ran an article. One article run by the Associated Press that didn't even didn't even write it themselves and they ran it on line. And the journal had John fund who has been following this story and an editorial but that one was on line. What was your reaction from acorn ready.

" All that maybe somebody should be covering this amount of federal tax dollars acorn is eligible to receive. In those stimulus package eight point five billion dollars. Number of -- We sound 67. Number of Democrats calling for investigations and acorn. They're more pathetic than CNN was on the coverage. Abide by the way that's too if you count Arlen Specter. And he was still Republicans so it's really actually won we try again. Actually I shouldn't even say that number of Democrats if I have one. The number of Democrats calling for investigations into acorn but that one was John Conyers. When he called it off so the number. Of Democrats asking yes there it is zero. How is that possible. How about the number of investigations in the -- Jones. But -- no idea number of investigations into -- unseen. Let's just pushed him through why not. Number of investigations into the National Endowment for the Arts -- told you this story and they were. They're using the National Endowment for the Arts to abide propaganda for the president.

Number of people on the panel investigating the arrest. Of this guy remember he's got twelve this is the good friend of Barack Obama the Cambridge police officer you know that -- The city of Cambridge has selected twelve people they announced today from across the country to serve on an independent panel to assess the arrest. The outcome in the aftermath. And how better training. Training could've prevented the incident. The mayor of Cambridge told the Washington Post a story that they're actually still covering it that the panel members were picked because of their quote. Diverse professional backgrounds. With their their experience with community relations conflict resolute you gotta be kidding me. Here's all I need to investigate that incident -- as this is from the White House as a White House photo.

Oh my gosh the white hater is helping him while he struts like a peacock but let's go back to that acorn investigation shall we. House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers. Had planned to investigate acorn. Later he told The Washington Times quote the powers that be decided against it."

I wish I had a panel of twelve people to investigate all very diverse panel to. Judging by the last 24 hours or so. We're going to follow this acorn and the fact we've got new breaking news on it again today. But judging on the last 24 hours we'll follow it but it's going to be just fox and you and me."
" But see this is where it started. To worry. Don't worry because. The paradigm is changing. That's it that's the way it started with the -- thing -- And look at the progress you have made.
