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.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're not committing to -- to cut off the federal funding?
OBAMA: George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It's not something I'm paying a lot of attention to.

now... now... we no longer are allowed to use the word 'lie' or 'liar', as that would be offensive.
in the future, please utter the following phrase in order to be politically correct under the 1st amendment while dealing with congressional and liberal types
BULLSHIT !

Of course not... He only watches CBS, NBC, PBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC.

The fact that Obama will go on TV and lie without reservation says an awful lot about the kind of man that was elected to the highest office in the land. I thought that was what the Islams did to Dhimmi's? Lie on purpose.

Obama was rushed to the emergency room today when his pants spontaneously combusted at a helath care speech today. He’s listed in stable condition with 2nd degree burns on his thighs, shins and buttocks.

....................The fact that Obama will go on TV and lie without reservation ......................
Or, stand, with his prepared speech scrolling on the teleprompter, and tell outright lies to the 535 also corrupt members of congress; while the public is falling asleep; and the media is tapping away on their drool encrusted computers on his extraordinary speaking skills, oblivious to the lies spewing from his mouth!

Right. Just like Bill Ayers is just somebody who lives in the neighborhod.
How can even a Clinton whore like Steponallofus sit there and guzzle down this swill? He must have no gag reflex.
