Washington Times, September 23, 2014 AmeriCorps birthday bash baloney A paltry record and statistical illusions cannot be ignored by James Bovard President Obama and former President Bill Clinton were surrounded by a swarm of gray-shirted devotees Sept. 12 as they celebrated the 20th birthday of AmeriCorps on the South Lawn of the White House.
