That's how you save a Barack-Roll gone wrong.
Just couldn't resist it when I saw you (who has been a member here for almost 3 years) asking for it.
well, just goes to show.... Stupidity comes in all shapes, sizes, and experience levels... Props to you, never expected the obama roll.
Time to go put my head in the sand for another 3 years.

Internet marketers would not have been so successful at selling the masses on this free grant shit if the current presidency hadn't been promising them fucking handouts for the last year if they elected him.
"I'm not gon have to worry bout puttin gas in my car or payin my rent"
They basically ran their campaign like a free grant blog. They made a bunch of promises about redistributing wealth, promised a bunch of free shit... what's the diff really? The people featured in these blogs are more realistic to me than 90% of the politicians on the hill.

I don't condone dickrolls, but +rep for awesomeness.
Sometimes you have to bow before greatness.
GrantOneDay probably fucked themselves with the 94.89 rebill....which is just stupid shit. Plus that word "Bailout" doesn't help either.
Well damn, must have missed the avalanche of emails informing me about offers going down somehow.
Just watched the recording of the press conference.
It was actually worse than I expected.
Calling out small time affiliate landing pages while ignoring mention of any specific advertisers.
Singling out Google (and Facebook). That should only make that deathstar more unuser friendly. Facebook guy was such a clown. Acted like he was guilty. Kept looking at the woman like he was begging her forgiveness.
I'm sure the FTC investigators are much more savvy than their woman spokesperson, but she didnt seem to understand the difference between affiliate and advertiser. This kind of ignorance is problematic for everyone.
Had the words "stimulus" and "obama" never been used, I doubt there would be a problem today. But its too late to correct now.
The only question is, in what way will Grants Kits survive? They've been around for 20 years, but there are going to be some changes.
