ShareThisKibera, Kenya… eminent domain… Obama's homelessness prevention… doesn't anybody get the connection?
Nobody knows what the "homelessness prevention" program is. We just know that our city has received billions of dollars from Obama’s trillion dollar stimulus to fund it.
The Kibera project involves moving the poor into public housing and DEMOLISHING THEIR HOMES.
The excuse given is that their homes are "shabby" construction, "shacks," a "public hazard," and so on.
Oh, my house doesn’t conform to the latest trends in interior decorating. Is it "shabby?" And somebody on a bicycle might crash into my mailbox and get hurt. Is my home a "public hazard?"
Does any of this remind you of the "eminent domain" controversy over "shabby" houses, which went to the Supreme Court before common sense prevailed?
Is Obama using homelessness to renew the eminent domain land grab attempt that was made by the ultra wealthy?
Kami, I re-posted it for your benefit, because you answered before I filled in the details.
I respected you because yours was the only answer that didn’t outright bash me.
Now you’ve done it, too.

Maybe we can get some unemployed journalists to dress up as a pimp and prostitute. The main stream media doesn’t seem to be capable of investigative reporting. Nobody is allowed to ask Obama tough questions. Obama will use any cheap trick to repay his corrupt buddies.
We all know how well the government provides homes, don’t we? Do you remember the HUD Home blight. HUD destroyed Detroit. The Government did well when it was regulating the mortgage industry too, didn’t it? In fact, I can’t think of a single instance of the Government getting involved in real estate property when corruption wasn’t a key factor. This, to Obama is just business as usual. I believe Obama is just as immoral as the Acorn offices he helped organize.

the fact that you’re asking this same question (again) just proves that nobody, did, in fact, make the "connection" you speak of.
