The majority of funding for ACORN took place under the executive guidance of George W. Bush ~

Paraphrased from the following article:

I don't know how to tell Republicans this, it's gonna be crushing, but the majority of the funding for ACORN took place under the executive guidance of none other than George W, according to the Congressional record. Every year during the Bush administration, ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1 million (from 2001, when George Bush became president, until 2008, the Bush administration provided over $13 million to ACORN), for such things as housing counseling and working to prevent predatory lending in low-income communities. And many Republicans who are now screaming bloody murder and spinning fantasies about billions of dollars in funding for ACORN (such as loony-tunes Michelle Bachmann, who was probably given this information by a space alien), as well as accusing ACORN of being the cause of the housing crisis, were sitting right there when Bush handed out the dough.
