Can anyone explain why BHO wants to have control of the census? The
Census Bureau has worked for decades to make itself non-partisan.
Judd Greg has pulled his name as Sec. of Commerce because of this.
Good man, btw.

This short report seems logical and balanced and shows how BHO is pulled
from both sides and has top try hard and find a middle ground that doesn't
forgo sanity to please wingnuts ... either wing

He has pulled from both sides? Really? The CB has spent decades
getting itself to be non-partisan, and I believe it is. Why would
Rahm Emanuel want the CB to report to him? It can only be for
political purposes, Larry. Judd Gregg is one of the most honorable
men in DC. Far more honorable than Daschel or the president's choice
for Sec. of Treasury. For him to resign like this can only mean that
he sees something that he feels just isn't right. I know what the WH
and Gregg are saying, but I don't think that we have been told the
whole truth. If Bush had tried this, there would have been shouts for
his impeachment, and you would be leading the shouts!

Leave the Census Bureau alone. Let them do their job without any
politics involved. I am worried about the U.S. becoming a socialist
nation. This CB stuff makes me worry about it becoming a
dictatorship. What's next? Something like Hitler's SS? The
Whitehouse has no business running or even involving itself with the
CB.
