This Is Wrong

It is scary that President Obama is transferring power controlling the 2010 Census from the Dept. of Commerce to direct White House control, under Rahm Emanuel! At the very least it looks bad. At its worst... Manipulating the Census can obviously affect presidential elections by ensuring more electoral votes go to States benefiting the current administration, not the actual count of U.S. citizens. That would also affect the make up of the Congress. The U.S. Constitution requires the Census as a responsibility of the Legislative branch. One would hope that Congress would not allow a blatant power grab by the President to stand, but a very partisan Speaker Pelosi is not likely to do it. The change is likely to benefit the Democrats, by adding members to States that they control. Evidently, that is the 'Change You Can Believe In'.
