However, it used taxpayers' money to buy advertising in a newspaper that spread racist messages, made threats of violence against Quebeckers and racist comments about U.S. President Obama. The Bloc should be explaining what it does with taxpayers' money.</p>",

Obama, le pr\u00e9sident des \u00c9tats-Unis. C'est le Bloc qui devrait expliquer comment il utilise l'argent des contribuables. </p>"
