ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis on Fox News Sunday with GOP Rep. Darrell Issa - Video 9/20/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 20, 2009 | BrianinMO

Here is video of ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis appearing on Fox News Sunday today, where she was questioned by Chris Wallace. GOP Rep. Darrell Issa also appeared on the show.

President Obama refused to appear on Fox News today, even though he appeared on five other Sunday shows. So, Fox News Sunday booked Bertha Lewis and Issa.

Lewis said "any organization is not entirely perfect," and admitted she was outraged by what she has seen in the undercover video tapes. She said, "Internally, let's have some reform."

Issa said Lewis needs to agree to a full review of how past Federal money has been spent by ACORN. . . (VIDEO)

I’m glad Barry didn’t appear on FOX. Their ratings should remain safe.

She's playing cleanup instead of being proactive.

Definitely a leader of a corrupt organization out to twist the truth to keep the organization alive.

Smooth talkin' alone just doesn't cut it anymore however.

The cure for this disease is simple.

Get government out of the charity business and give it back to the charity organizations.

Governments exist to regulate and guarantee rights, they don't exist to give handouts.

Here is my reform answer to her, NO MORE FUNDING OF ACORN, prosicute all invovled, get Holden off his a## and DEMAND hearings into this criminal syndicate, and look deeper into it’s associations and government officials invovled PERIOD. The funding may stop but the monies will be run through shadow organizations back to ACORN once more. Lets keep our eyes open

I thought that Congressman Issa was polite and professional.

I thought that the Ms. Lewis was trying to make the best out of a bad situation. If you watched her body language, knew she was doing little more than getting out a (fading) talking point out about their stated goals. Unfortunately for her, she was pretty much pinned to answering the questions raised, not being allowed to easily change the conversation.

I completely agree, though “twit” is a very kind word. I just watched the interview. What it looked like.. was there was some kind of agreement that she would not have to actually speak to Rep. Issa directly. She never once looked at him, had her arms crossed with her face turned away from him while he was looking at her and asking questions!!! She never answered any questions and kept referring to her people... her work to save homes and blah blah. There needs to be a MAJOR bi partisan federal investigation. She is an embarrasment to her organization.

I agreed with everything you posted, right up to that point.

She is the face of the organization she represents and unfortunately, for too may in her race as well.

Isn't it the CEO's supposed to run the company?
No wonder ACORN is in so much trouble.
She has no idea what's going on because she's too busy doing the things that should be delegated to others. Wallace: Are you willing to open your books up to...?
Lewis : I am willing to do the work that I need to do, (apparently she feels that opening up the books isn't the work she needs to do) every single day, not be distracted.
I have to work for poor people. I have to make sure I'm saving people's homes. I have to make sure that children don't get lead poisoning.

And, of course, she didn't answer the question, much less give her opinion.
