Of course, I'd expect you to look past the faults of your own party and blame the Democrats exclusively.

Are you referring to the BUSH tax cuts or are you once again blabbering about something about which you have no comprehension ?

Well, a true capitalist would go where the money is and become a Chinese hooker.

I'll bet Bush's signature is nowhere on that grant!!!

Funding for Businesses and Special Projects or ProgramsWhile the Federal government gives out more than $150 billion in grants each year, in many cases, the money is distributed to individual states, which then redistribute the funds to businesses and programs, which will in some way benefit the public. Seeking a government grant requires a lot of time with no guarantee that the organization or individual applying will receive the grant. If grant monies are awarded, all grant funds must be spent exactly as described in the grant application.

Submitting an Application
Grant projects approved by the government begin to be announced once the Federal budget has been approved. At that time, eligible individuals or organizations may then apply for a specific grant that has been announced to the public. The grant announcement will specify how applicants can apply, where to get an application packet and the deadline date on which the application is due. In order to qualify to apply for a particular grant, the applicant must meet the grant's eligibility requirements. Instructions on how to apply will include how funds received from the grant may be used, specific information to be included on the application and the reporting methods expected from grant recipients. When submitting an application, those seeking funds must develop goals for use of the funds to be detailed in the application, along with a time frame for the steps of a proposed project or program to be completed. Failure to complete a project or program on time and in the manner specified in the grant proposal can result in serious penalties.

Grant Recipients
Even though the Federal government traditionally awards grant monies to government agencies and other community organizations that help those in need, a good deal of funding is provided to the nation's states, counties or cities to distribute as block grants to other charities and social service agencies planning projects, which will benefit communities at large. In these cases, the governmental body redistributing the grant money is responsible for conducting annual audits and may set its own guidelines and regulations for use of the funds. But no matter how grant funds are allocated, grant recipients must follow strict requirements throughout the duration of the program or project, clearly accounting for all expenses.

Exactly. If you ask me for 100 bucks to spend on a hooker, then the onus is on me, but if you ask for 100 bucks and THEN spend it on a hooker, it's on you.

On the other hand, Obama is now telling companies who should be at the helm, how they can spend their money and how to run their business.

I sure wish it was - if it is, it is very widespread. I googled it and got 4000+ hits from all kinds of news sources. Crazy.

Don't we have American hookers that need help?

Well, at least he's finally found an industry he actually knows something about and is qualified to tell people how it's done.

I haven't seen it elsewhere.

CNS is owned by MRC. the same company that believes there is only liberal bias and constantly avoid pointing out conservative-bias when, at the same time, calling for media fairness. WTF x1.

CNS was made to report the stories "the mainstream media ignores", except they only cherry pick those stories -- seems they're only interested in what those big bad evil Democrats are doing. WTF x2.

Finally, this story hasn't been reported anywhere else. But CNS is legit, just like The Huff Puff. But, like the Huff Puff, don't expect the whole story from them either.

Care to show us these "4000+ hits from all kinds of news sources."

I just googled it and got hits from Freeper, and several other conservative opinion sites/forums that link to this same article.

Show me where Congress has absolute control over what NIH grants are spent on.
