President Obama Downplays ACORN

The Provocateur ^ | 09/21/2009 | Mike Volpe

[fiscon1]

The president has just stepped into another major controversy with this answer regarding ACORN to George Stephanopoulos.

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.

His creepiness needs a tune-up - he has lost all credibility.

“It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to”

You lie!

YOU LIE !

YOU LIE!

OBAMA: You know, if -- frankly

What did he originally want to say?

[dashing doofus]

Obama is simply reluctant to investigate his own organization. He worked for ACORN. So now he tries to brush it off.

Since he likes investigations so much, and has radical AG Holder investigating the CIA, but only paying lip service to ACORN, which he hoped would play mischief with the 2010 Census, in addition to their election and financial frauds, I look forward to a future investigation of the Barack Hussein Obama administration.

What did Obama know about ACORN’s illegal and corrupt activities, and when did he know it?

[GYPSY286]

Since I’m at work - I can’t investigate this. It is possible to find any bills that Obama voted for as Senator which financed Acorn. Is there anything on his campaign site that lists the $800K payment to them? Can somebody find the section in the Stimulas Bill where it finances Acorn to the tune of billions that he signed?

[Saltmeat]

Obama is a pathological liar. He is a total facade. He allegedly (there is plenty of evidence that someone else wrote them for him) wrote two books about his life prior to running for the highest office in our land. No other president has done this. He had nothing factual to write about because his life is a blank page. He had no accomplishments to point at.

No wonder Joe Wilson was unable to contain himself in Obama’s presence. Unfortunately, Joe Wilson is the only public figure with the gonads to call him what he is. A liar.

[hosepipe]

Investigate the CIA or ACORN?...
What to do?..

[annieokie]

Maybe he is simply saying: I didn't know ACORN was getting a WHOLE LOT of federal money, I knew they were getting a LOT, but not a WHOLE LOT. They have been holding out on me and I will be investigating that.

Maybe??????

[goldi]

I think it’s not going to take too long for everything around this guy to break down — ACORN, eligibility, whatever.

[Maverick68]

barak hussein obama, you are a mother f33king liar....

[ssaftler]

YOU LIE!

To paraphrase John Hancock, "I hope this is big enough for King Barack to see"!

[buggy02]

He wants to cut waste to help pay for health care!! It appears he doesn’t know where the waste is, let's see in his past employment what budget has he balanced? what was the name of the company he was running, how many employees did he manage, ok,ok how many employees did he supervise? ok what was his last employment as a private citizen?

A guy that doesn’t know much is the President?

 

He told us that the cops acted stupidly even though he “didn't know a whole lot about the case”.  Then he admits he and Professor Gates are longtime and very good friends.

 

Regarding Acorn:

So here, he says in one sentence "…not really something I’ve followed…didn’t know Acorn was getting a whole lot of federal Money”.

 

REALLY?  Ain’t you the same guy that community organized with Acorn?  You the same guy that said they will have a seat … to share ….

 

Then you have the nerve to tell us “what I saw on that video was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated”

Seriously? Inappropriate?  Please tell me when you wake up and find yourself on this planet.  Inappropriate is a rather benign word for Selling off Little Girls into bondage as sex slaves, In America of all places.

Inappropriate?  Demonstrating how to game the system and scam money off American Taxpayers.

You probably never did any work for them, advancing their of forcing Illinois to adopt Motor Voter Law

You probably forgot about your friends Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger and their extensive ties to ACORN.

I will tell what is inappropriate is your casually dismissal of an organization you have been very involved over the years and What is even more inappropriate is your benign description of a crime that results in a child being robbed of their dignity, pride, free will and liberty.

For a guy that doesn’t know much you sure seem to have a keen ability to describe the very thing you know nothing of.

Sergeant Schultz wouldn’t be dumb enough to tell such a bald face lie.  Oops, there is that word again. 

You Lie.
