It was one of the most popular topics among the questions you submitted to me for my interview with President Obama – the controversy involving ACORN.
While the President said that ACORN "deserves to be investigated" in light of the "inappropriate" video that's gone viral, he did not endorse recent votes in Congress to cut off federal funding for the community group.
Here’s our FULL exchange:
STEPHANOPOULOS: How about the funding for ACORN?
OBAMA: You know, if -- frankly, it's not really something I've followed closely. I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Both the Senate and the House have voted to cut it off.
OBAMA: You know, what I know is, is that what I saw on that video was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated. ...

The comments are the best part, not one comment in support of Obama in two pages so far.

How can he honestly say that he didn't know ACORN was getting a lot of money? The dude probably lobbied for that money when he worked for them! He just knows that if he talks bad about them then he is cutting his own throat.

You Lie!
You're a racist!

I would be ashamed if my campaign had paid those miscreants almost a million dollars like 0Bama's did. I think it was nearly $800K or something like that.

He isn't ashamed just looking for a spot to claim it when he files taxes this year :tongue:

I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work."

What kills me about this is that one simple statement proves he either A. Lied in the interview about this, or B. Didn't bother reading the Stimulus Bill that he signed.

"That's not the ACORN I knew."
"I was involved with ACORN for over 20 years, but I didn't really know what they were doing."
Sounding familiar?

Doesn't say much for him, does it. Either he is really stupid and doesn't realize what he's hearing when people spew their bullshit at him, or he's just a "Token" church goer or ACORN member, who does it just so they look good and doesn't really pay attention to what they do.
Either way, it makes him (look like) a tool.

He was in the US Senate for a couple of years and didn't know what they were doing either.

Jehoshaphat's, can't that man do ANYTHIG right.??
Well It didn't take long for our country to find out that Pres. O is a controll freak and one heck of a bad liar with an ego the size of a mad scientist.
The man is beginning to act like a fruit cake, he knew he would be asked about ACORN, had time to consult with advisers on how to answer any questions but decided to balls it out with, " I don't know, I don't remember, I am too important to be bothered with petty problems."
I fully admit I was willing to give him 2 years to learn the ropes of his job, everyone makes mistakes the first couple years in office. I have never seen anyone from a trainee for any job make such a mess in such a short time.
He simply is not listening to the old school men and woman that have managed to keep our country afloat all these years. I have come to believe this man is a sociopath of the worse kind. Everything is about Him, the legacy he will hand down, his fame as first mixed race president, it all spells out grandiose plans and make him a hero in his own mind.
I pay great attention to his body language, he is a master of concealing his true emotions but there are times he does slip up.
And here I had great fear of McCain, :banghead: his history was weird. Obama seems not to have any history any one can find out about.
How much wood can a wood chuck, chuck.? How many lies can Obama tell before people start laughing at him.? No more shouting "You Lie" but just a belly laugh at his plans.
This man will not like being made a fool of, much better for him to be attacked then laughed at.

Let's see, he doesn't follow the whole exposure of the corruption in the organization that only "won" the election for him.
He doesn't follow when 1.5 million of his pissed off constituents show up on his front porch to e'splain things to him.
He doesn't bother to read the Health Care legislation he's shilling for, not even an accurate Cliff's Notes version.
He didn't bother to read the specifics of the porkulus bill, the cap and tax monstrosity, none of it.
He didn't even bother to take his wife aside and suggest that they were going to a posthumous MoH presentation, and MAYBE an ugly-assed floral print isn't the most appropriate attire for the occasion.
What the **** is this asshat actually DOING on the taxpayer's nickel? :banghead:

Well, I wouldn't expect him to. It's only his alma mater and the thing he touted has his main (and really, only) qualification for being president. You know, Rush was right today, whatever Obama said was less important than Obama being on televison. The medium is the message.
Since liberals can only think in terms of symbols, their only reality becomes whatever is said, or more importantly, seen on television.
To quote Dr. Brian Oblivion: Television is reality and reality is less than television.

"That's not the Rev. Wright I know."
"ACORN is not something I've followed closely"
"I promise to pull out"
Oops.

Hi,
I just sent O'reilly an email. He mentioned tonight that Obama is getting pounded and they were speculating as to why.
This is a prime example. Not only is Obama lying, he is insulting the public. Look at the polls that say something like over 2/3 of Americans do not believe the president when he says the health care bill will save money and not cost the taxpayers a dime. Not only is he lying but I cannot tell you how many times I have heard my wife say out loud, "Just how stupid does he think we are to believe that?" When someone is blatently lying the other person takes that as a very personal insult.....
More Obama goes on tour the lower the numbers go, different subject, different lie, same result, his numbers go down.
