ACORN's top officer said Sunday that she was "outraged" by the content of hidden-camera videotapes showing her organization's employees offering advice to undercover filmmakers posing as a pimp and prostitute, as she pledged to "reform" the inner workings of the activist group.
Chief organizer Bertha Lewis tried to calm a growing firestorm over the behavior of her group's employees. Allegations of voter registration fraud and other ethical lapses have plagued ACORN for years, but the videotapes were the last straw for the group's critics -- as well as its long-time defenders.
The videotapes, filmed by two conservative activists, led to both the House and Senate voting to de-fund ACORN last week. Many Democrats joined Republicans in voting for the measures.
[snip] "Internally, let's have some reform," Lewis said. "It's indefensible what I saw (in the tapes)."
[snip] President Obama, in an interview broadcast Sunday, also said he favors an investigation into ACORN. At the same time, he played down the controversy, saying it is not the "biggest issue facing the country."

Of interest....1) the House of Representatives passed a bill that a) prohibiting private funding of student loans and b) cutting off funding to ACORN.
2. The latter cutoff will be dropped from the bill in conference. No Way the Progressives (Dems) will cut off ACORN....Obama cannot afford to lose them.
Tell your elected to Cut Off ALL ACORN affiliates.
Yeah. Outraged that they got caught!
“Tell your elected to Cut Off ALL ACORN affiliates.”
I think we should just cut off all their acorns...
Ping.
“I am shocked, shocked that there is pimping going on!”
SURE YOU ARE Ms. Lewis.
Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

"It is clear that the videos are doctored, edited, and in no way the result of the fabricated story being portrayed by conservative activist 'filmmaker' O'Keefe and his partner in crime. And, in fact, a crime it was -- our lawyers believe a felony -- and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators,"
They were framed/set up
The videos were doctored
The act of taking the videos was deplorable
She thanked James and Hannah
Now what she saw was indefensible
It took Obama a long time to give her the right answer.
hahhaha im watching interview on fox news...wish they had a truth meter
Thanks.
Did you notice that during the entire interview she never once looked at Representative Issa?
She isn’t “Outraged”. She holds the people who caught her in contempt. The sickening part is that she knows that she and her crooked organization will come back from this because the Democratic Party needs ACORN.
O RLY?
Yeah Birtha, Ill just bet you are. Give me a fricken break.
last week she was going to sue FOX NEWS - this week she found out she could lose her government paid position, so she’s decided to become OUTRAGED
The ACORN behavior exhibited on these video transmissions is endemic, ingrained and pervasive. It is not just one or two or three different ACOTN offices, it is THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION that is CORRUPT, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, THROUGH AND THROUGH. That is why every single ACORN office and headquarters needs to have an audit and an investigation into illegal activities whivh include bribery, voter fraud, racketeering, voter intimidation, obstruction of justice, income tax evasion, embezzlement, conspiracy, and many many other charges of criminal activity and illegality. What has been uncovered so far is merely the tip of the iceberg.
having your funding cut has that effect
Besides the fedgov where do they get additional funding, from the states?
Was Big Butt Bertha also “outraged” by all the voter registration fraud and intimidation last year?
Riddle us that, Buttgirl.
This lady is slated to get $8.5 BILLION DOLLARS of your tax money. There is nothing in this person’s heart but hate and more hatred for this country.
