Obama on ACORN: ‘Not Something I’ve Followed Closely’ Won’t Commit to Cut Federal Funds

SHOCKER!!! Ha ha.

Not followed closely? Now there is a relative term. Acorn’s been around since the 70′s. He was even a lawyer for them! Can anyone believe this guy? He’s lying through his teeth!

WHAT A LIAR!

in all due respect Mr. President, you promised the American people that you and your team would go through the Federal budget with a fine tooth comb and dollar for dollar.
Either you lied then or you are lieing now!
We have more earmarks than ever before!

Didn’t Obama’s campaign give ACORN $800,000 for voter registration? Wouldn’t truly looking out for the American people involve investigating and cleaning up/shutting down an organization that appears rife with corruption and has been the recipient of millions of our tax dollars?

Obama doesn’t pay a lot of attention to an organization that was instrumental in getting “new voters” to the polls for him?
And this was the group he served as an attorney?
He is not telling the truth!
He needs to ‘fess up to his connections — all of them.

The ABC news resembles an infomercial for “Team Obama”. He has made plenty of mistakes and lies. Now go out there and report it instead of patronizing this administration. Obama is a Liar about ACORN. The videos of Obama’s support to pre-election ACORN and encouraging their help in “shaping the new country”. Obama – Quit lying. ABC – quit pandering.

This President lies continually and thinks we all swallow everything he has to say. Only those who follow blindly and can’t put two and two together continue to believe him. Boy did America make a big mistake

Joe Wilson deserves an apology

give me a break – he knows that Kanye West is a jackass but he doesn’t know that his former community organization is ripping off the government – and Wilson takes the rap for calling him a liar?

ACORN? What’s ACORN? I ahven’t been following. and by the way..pay no attention to the 300 pound man behind those curtains.

AMEN KD.
They say history repeats itself.
Nixon—–Watergate
Obama—–Acorngate

How stupid does he thing America is? The ACORN investigated in multiple states before the videos were even played?? The ACORN that boasts 1.3 million registered…but forgets to mention roughly 400,000 were rejected!!!! Has anyone ever tried to calculate the cost to local governments that have to go through and reject roughly 400,000 “Mickey Mouse” ACORN registrations??? OBAMA better pay attention to the numbers in the house and Senate that seem very close to VETO OVERRIDING numbers to cut off ACORN funds!!

I am amazed how our President doesn’t care how he looks to the American people. He is very arrogant thinking that over and over the American people will give him a pass on incompetence and dishonesty.
ABC, CBS, and NBC gives him repeated passes – no longer are the American people buying the lies.
Chris Wallace of Fox has busted how the WH is controlling the MSM daily.
Unfortunately, what it all has led to is that Americans no longer believe a word that comes out of Obama’s mouth.
Sad!!!!

Groomed to lie. This man was developed to do what ever is necessary to accomplish his goals. He certainly lives by the belief that if you tell a lie enough that all us idiots will believe the lie. The old joke, “do you know when a salesman is telling a lie?” “No.” “When his mouth is moving.” That describes BHO. I never thought that our country would sink to this low a level. Many of you wished for change. Did anyone tell you, “be careful for what you wish for, you just may get it.”

===========breaking news===========
MASSIVE cavein at the White house!!!!
Oh wait that was just Obama giving in to Russia, Lmao

This president “does beat all”!!! He is lying…However, it is one thing to lie “about not following ACORN’s woes” and quite another when Obama is resistant to take away their federal funding.
Our POTUS is a slick talking, lying, thug. A shame for this country, but he is, after all, who the majority voted for. Unless Obama does a rapid 180 in his thinking…and soon, his presidency is doomed. 2012 is a long ways off…sigh.

The BIG CHARLATAN LIAR continues to behave as usual, he was not aware of ACORN, are you kidding? This guy is incredible!! Could you imagine Bush having anything like ACORN happen to him. George you ABC, CBS and NBC have los all credibility that is why FOX’s rating’s are going through the roof you guys just kiss butt … so ACORN the biggest story of corruption in this country is not very important ???

ABC – you know fine well that there have been three videos exposing ACORN, so why lie and imply that there was only one?
As for Obama – I am at the point now where I just want this socialist liar out of office as soon as possible.

As usual– he lies.

Our President is simply not believable at this point. Come on ABC hold his feet to the fire. I don’t watch ABC/NBC/CBS for obvious reasons.

Of Course he wasn’t following it !
He doesn’t like Fox News and the other “So Called” News Sources didn’t want to Rock the Boat and cover the Story and their Ratings Prove it !
This guy ( In Training) doesn’t know Jack !
.

- Dec. 1, 2007, Obama spoke at the Heartland Democratic Presidential Forum, a meeting for community organizing groups including ACORN. Obama received wild applause from the crowd as he promised that community organizing groups such as ACORN would help shape the agenda for his presidency.
Naked Emperor News posted the following video of his pledge:
He was asked, “If elected president of the Unites States, would you agree, in your first 100 days, to meet with the delegation of representatives from these various community organizations that campaigned for community values? Could they count on you in your first 100 days to sit down with them?”
Obama responded, “Yes. But let me even say before I even get inaugurated, during the transition, we’re going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We’re going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.”
Not following closely? Yeah, right.
ABC, when are you going to do an investigation of ACORN and links to Obama?
ABC, when are you going to report some FACTS?

Of course he didnt follow it. It was doing what it was designed to so. Work for him. They rode it until it couldnt be road any more. Our rights. Voting, what people have died for here, and all over the world. EXCEPT Obammas family. But for those of us that have served, and those who’s familys have been here since before the Revolutionary War, those who HAVE sacrificed, not just had things handed to them, it is worth following. If he had any ability to feel anything other than his own self absorbed power hungry narcissistic dispostion, he’d be ashamed. I am sure there are a lot of Veterans that left this earth early defending those rights that would like to visit with him. Disgusting. He wont investigate, or pay attention to a government funded agency that commits voter fraud, but he will haunt CIA agents that defended us from Pigs with Waterboarding. And he isnt a socialist?

Wow. Not one comment supporting the Presidents remarks and on an Obama supporting News site. Too funny. Hey George it’s time to wake up; you can’t continue to carry this guy any longer.

Does he think that Americans are stupid? The man was suckled at the teet of ACORN. They put him in office. And now he’s going to say he’s not following the scandal of the year closely?
Geeze oh petes, Obama. If you lie about something this obvious how are we to trust you on anything, much less with our health care?
Step down. At least then you can save some face.

Thank you George for at least having the nerve to ask the question about ACORN. David Gregory of NBC was asking him who will win the World Series. What a joke NBC news is.

Hasn’t ACORN been around for a while even throughout the BUSH admin? Hmmmmm, why didn’t they account for them then? Seems to me Presifent Obama has been in office only 9 mo. and the Repubs had 8 years to figure this out, not just with ACORN but other “give aways”. Yes the Demos and Repubs need to “comb” thru this together, the problem is teh country is not togheter because the parties can’t work together! Bothe parties trying to one up or down each other. Both sides stretching the truth.

Unbelievable! How disgusting Obama is always protecting those who help him. George, don’t you get it? It’s always about what’s best for Obama not the country! George Stephanopolis, I give you alot of credit and kudo’s for at least asking Obama the Acorn question. I bet the others won’t bother!

The big story here isn’t Obama lying about ACORN. He’s simply acting in character.
The real story is that the legacy media didn’t vet him during the campaign, and won’t investigate him, his past associations or his appointments now.
The legacy media has been and is — suicidally — lying by omission.

I would have loved to see the President say that he has contacted his attorney gernaral to investigate ACORN, to admit to the money he has obtained for ACORN while in the Illinois legislature, as part of the group he worked for with Bill Ayers, as a member of the U.S. Senate. I thought he was going thru the Federal budget line by line.. Wouldn’t ACORN’s appropriations be found there??? As usual you can tell that Obama is lying while his lips are moving. It is time for the press to start holding his feet to the fire and demanding answers to real questions.

HOlY HECK! I used to fantasize about being stuck in an elevator with Obama just to be able to ask him some staightforward, simple questions. Not so much anymore. The way he lies, and badly, and thinks we are dumb enough to fall for it, I think his arrogance alone would give a migraine.

We have elected a typical lawyer. when is he lying? when his lips are moving. This is so blatant to be funny if it were not so serious an offense by a PRESIDENT. My god he isn’t even a good liar. AND THEN THAT SMIRK. I would love to smack that smirk off his face. This whole administration is a big joke. Little boys trying to play grown up.

I think he’s setting himself up for impeachment. Remember Mr Obama, it’s not the crime, it’s the coverup that gets you impeached, look at Nixon. Mark my words, this is going to get bigger. ACORN leaders will go out the Chicago way, taking many members of Congress with them when they go, and by 2011, at the latest, Obama will resign the Presidency. He’s just as dirty as ACORN!

Impeach Obama now…nothing but a liar and an opportunist…disgusting!

Response to ALON’s post.
“The president is focused on creating jobs and making us safe”??
1). Green jobs are a joke. Every “green job” will eliminate 30 existing jobs.
2). “Keeping us safe”?? Ask the CIA if we are going to be safer after his policy changes. ask Alaskans if they feel safer after cutting missle defence systems there.

Hahahahahahah

HA! That’s hilarious! He didn’t know that ACORN was receiving a lot of federal money??? Is there anyone in America who actually believes that? He lies through his teeth. Joe Wilson, you were right!

kd:
I do a lot of business in Latin America and, therefore, have been following Chavez closely for 10 years. Take away the buffoonery and bluster. Attach a pearly white smile, and some sauvité, and what you have are two individuals that are, in ideological terms, not extremely dissimilar.

Obama sucks – and you know it !

President Obama is so informed about current events that he knew the Boston Police Department acted “stupidly” in arresting Professor Gates but he does not know about the corruption going on with his former Community Organizing group. I suppose he didn’t know what was going on at Trinity United for 20 years either. Post racial politics? I think not!

“George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country.”
So if Obama *is* a Manchurian Candidate and his Presidence was purchased for him by overseas funding from, say, Russia, what would be the goal of such an exercise? There would be several goals, all aimed at stripping America of what makes it different and great: freedom of speech, capitalism, the right to bear arms, separation of church and state, and … democracy.
Funding and supporting ACORN would be aimed at demolishing the concept of democracy in America, using a vast under-used and under-paid unemployed and unemployable segment of American society. ACORN has been registering non-existant voters (possibly in the millions) and has pled guilty to voter intimidation so as to allow only approved voters into the polls (approved by whom?).
If allowed to continue, what would be the state of the election process in three more years if ACORN were to thrive and expand? Or, God forbid, 8 more years. Would we even still have rigged elections a la the sort that Chicago (and Putin and Saddam) are famous for?

a few more questions like that (soft ball) and George will be at the bottom of the interview list. I think Raum put him on probation. This seriously sick president man/boy is going to take us down the tube, and soros and michael moore will be dancing in the empty streets. spooky stuff! God how can ABC be part of this.

Am I supposed to be concerned that he might be lying or concerned that he’s too dense to realize what a big issue this is?
Oh, Mr. President, you would be funny if you weren’t so dangerous.
And you race-baiters can suck it, because the rest of us find you boring and irrelevant.

Withour ACORN’s help, would Obama even be president?
Amazing how fast he pitched them under the bus :)

He will eventually have Holder start an “investigation”, and then he will be unable to talk about “ongoing investigations.”

His biggest issue is staying in front of the adoring media and obots…anymore questions?

Does anyone believe what Obama says anymore?
I don’t think there has been one comment here that would suggest that.
One-term president who is destoying the democratic party.

Obama’s insults to our intelligence keep getting worse!

LOL. What crap. Did you get a tingle up your leg George?

Funny he was their lawyer,and made comments that ACORN would help him mould his agenda. Now all of a sudden he is back pedaling fast,as if Jerimiah Wright was at the door.

he can accuse the Cambridge Police department of “acting stupidly” at the drop of a hat, but can’t see enough evidence here to stop this criminal enterprise???

New Headline should be about ACORN
POTUS Out of Touch with his COUNTRY!
hear no evil
see no evil
speak no evil
Does he think we believe him? NOT For a minute!!! Yea he promised them $8 Billion in stimulus money next year, how close to them is he with ACORN, you make up your own mind…LOL

Funny. If as a candidate for president, I had agreed to give ACORN $800,000, I think I would be VERY interested to know about the situation. This president responds to this question, again, as if he has absolutely no connections to them at all.
Another example of a progressive liberal who assumes that his brain is larger than most and that he’s entitled to ignore the obvious. He’s the “intellectual”, so we need to let the “big boys and girls” do all the thinking for us.

I am sure the President will hide behind campaing advisors and a Czar of some sort.
Its this type of funding that is at the heart of the Federal budget morass and the bitter partisan battles in Congress. 2010 will not come fast enough to end Democratic control of at least one chamber in Congress.

I think corruption, waste and lack of accountability in government spending is a HUGE ISSUE for our country.

enter the likes of Sarah Palin…

He personally promised ACORN “a seat at the table”, he worked with them to get his career started, in his stimulus bill – that he said he’d go over LINE BY LINE they are slated to get BILLIONS of our money.
The audacity of being a bold faced lying scumbag! He insults our intelligence.

Mr. Obama, You’re correct. The issues have nothing to do with race. The rally in Washington last Saturday was about government racking up even more debt, taking more control of our lives and enacting one more program probably doomed to the same corruption and failure as the previous ones. NO more huge government programs. To say that you are not paying attention to ACORN is also a big problem on your part. You are hop skipping around the world, country and then appearing on TV obsessed with your healthcare bill while America burns. You should be paying attention. We need a working president and a Congress willing to fix the graft and corruption within the existing programs and their own members. Today’s interview was nothing but an interruption contest with only one issue that you were willing to discuss. What a waste!

jra:
Don’t make excuses for a liar. It’s not dignified.

I am shocked that George actually asked a question that his man didn’t like -We all know that his answers were garbage!!!

it’s obvious what his priorities are:
- out control government spending
- government takeover of businesses (more spending)
- healthcare reform (yet to be realized government spending)
- hollywood
- fun dating trips
-
-
…
- government reform
last but not least: hope and change

Repeat after me:
Obama is ACORN. ACORN is Obama. Obama can no more disown ACORN than he could disown his own white grandmother, Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, etc…etc…etc…etc…etc…etc…etc…………….

ANSWER THE QUESTION MR. PRESIDENT. Do you think funding should be cut off to ACORN? Your lack of an answer says volumes.

What a fraud.
How many times has Obama used and promoted ACORN?

Imagine if one of the groups receiving federal money under Bush’s Faith-Based Initiative had been exposed as a criminal conspiracy eager to assist under-age prostitution. The liberal media would have been all over it, like Oprah on a doughnut.
I don’t think the media would have accepted Bush saying: “You know, if — frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely. I didn’t even know that [evangelical Christian group] was getting a whole lot of federal money.”
If Bush said something so patently dishonest, it would lead the news for weeks and become fodder for Jon Stewart, David Letterman, and such. Let’s see if this lie just disappears except among Fox and talk radio.

Never thought I’d find more truth and courage in the National Inquirer than ABC.

Looks like the mortgage loaners are at their old game again with variable rates.
Can we put these people in jail for fraud?
Where are the government oversight people?
I haven’t heard enough of bank ceo’s being
arrested for fraud either. They have done
more damage to this country than any terrorists could have ever done.

Obama was supposed to be a different kind of politician. Ok, so far he has been very typical. He has chosen to say one thing while doing another, touting transparency while hiding information on questionable staff choices. And notice he NEVER actually answers a single question. What are Americans supposed to believe when the more he flaunts himself before the camera the less information we learn about any topic he’s questioned on? I had a hard time understanding Bush but he was a simplton compared to the current Liar in Chief.

In a way, I feel sorry for Obama. He is like a child whose parents (MSM) protects him and enables him to continue bad behavior (lie)until he is in so much trouble no one can reverse it.
Maybe, that is the MSM’s backdoor joke on Obama. The WH is controlling CBS, ABC, and NBC; but, in the meantime it is totally backfiring on Obama. MSM has a hands off attitude – let him do and say what he wants – who is ultimately going to pay the price for betraying the American trust = Obama.

If the President and Congress won’t pay attention to how the money is being spent, I will start paying very close attention to how much of my money is being sent to these “stewards of the public good”. I’ll follow the letter of the law and pay everything I’m obligated to pay, but I will certainly engage in fewer activities that generate tax revenues for the government. It’s time to starve the beast.

ABC News, had you been honest with your reporting during the campaign season we might not have been terrorized by this administration hell bent on destroying our American way of life. You chose not to report on Obama’s past communist connections, radical agendas, unwillingness to present any documentation of his life, and his dirty Chicago political lifestyle. ABC News, you and your peers have done this to America. You owe us a huge apology! Get honest about Obama and end the man crush!

Wow. Just.Wow.
How stupid does the Community Organizer in-Chief think the public is?
First we were told throughout the 2008 campaign that this was the smartest saaviest guy ever to run for the Presidency…Resolutely backed by both ACORN and SEIU for years and years and years.
Once he became President, we were told that this was the smartest most aware and on-top-of-things President in history.
Now, when a major scandal breaks wide open into the public realm involving two of Obama’s foundational constituencies, we are to believe that he knows little about it and hasnt paid attention to it???? and no one in the West Wing has thought to brief him on it thus far??? sorry, but I call BS on that whopper.
And former Clinton WH Chief of Staff Stephanpolous doesnt think to press Obama on his non-credible answer and accepts at face value whatever he is told.
Color me shocked. Not!

Double standard…
Imagine the media backlash if Bush said those same exact words.

Obama operates just like the corrupt thugs at ACORN. ABC will do all it can to cover up the ACORN trasngressions and lie if they have to Stephanopolous is in the pocket of the Dems. Rham Emmanule tells him what to say every morning. Remember the good old days when journalists actually did their jobs?

If this wasn’t so sad it would be hillarious.

Chicago politics. Meh.

After seeing even Steffi score a couple of direct hits, it’s no wonder Obama went on every Sunday show except Fox’s. Chris Wallace would have asked tougher questions and followed up on Obama’s evasions.
The One can survive scrutiny only when he has an adoring media at his feet.

1. ACORN must accept ALL registrations they receive.
2. ACORN must turn in ALL registrations they receive.
3. ACORN flags suspicious registrations and notifies Elections Offices when they submit them.
4. ACORN insists on investigations of its own employees when they see a problem and fires those employees immediately.
So if someone fills out a registration form and says they’re Porky Pig and they live on Mushroom Cloud Lane ACORN is forced by law to turn it in.
“you cannot name anyone in America who is in jail for attempting to vote under an ACORN submitted false name. Not one. Voter fraud requires an attempt to vote illegally, by definition.”

You’d be admitting that you’re a fool is you keep supporting this blatant liar.
Obama is not who he said he was and he’s not doing what he said he would do.
Letting ourselves continue to live in the dark won’t change that.

A, he’s lying, and B, nobody’s asking him to spend a lot of time on this issue — how long does it take him to say, “Cut off the bleeping money now”?
(Oh, and appoint a special prosecutor.)

“OBAMA: George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.”
So if an issue is not the biggest one facing the country, he’s not paying a lot of attention to it?
What happened to all that stuff he said during the campaign about a president needing to be able to multi-task?
This is a man who says anything that comes into his head, without regard to what he has said in the past.

“Either you lied then or you are lieing now!”
What do you mean, “or”?

He lies!

Burghman FAILS by posting an article 2.5 years old to “prove” his point.
WE’RE TIRED OF THE LIES AND AREN’T TAKING IT ANYMORE!!!

It takes an extremely… *nuanced* reading of what Obama said to conclude that “he did not endorse recent votes in Congress to cut off federal funding” to ACORN.
Hey, George? How about if you just report what he said. *We’ll* decide what he meant. ‘Kay?

This is a huge issue!! ACORN is one of the most corrupt organizations to ever receive federal funding. Obama has been trying to sweep this under the table, but the people are demanding an ivestigation.

During the campaign, every time Obama’s “lack of executive experience” was brought up, he, and his supporters, pointed to his “community organizing at ACORN” as qualifying.
Now it’s “not something he’s followed closely”.
Say whaaaat.

Obama is to ACORN as Cheney was to Haliburton. – Gina
Wrong on so many levels.

Obama wants to completely transform this country (his words). Into what? He takes the side of thugs, not freedom from oppression. One of his czars believes in global justice for America and sees where Sharia law could be used in some cases. One believes animals should be able to sue humans. One believes in forced abortions and sterilizations. Van Jones is a communist and is all about reparations. What do you think spreading the wealth, the Stimulus Bill, Cap and Trade and health care is really about? Of course extreme Gov control over Americans is a plus for these radicals. Why did the leftest Tides Foundation help write the Non-Stimulus Bill? Did you know one of the big shots there is one of the co-founders of the Weather Underground? I could go on and on. This is not my Father’s Democratic Party. These people are dangerous to a free Republic. Oh, and he did lie about Acorn. They are the nuts in his tree of corruption.

This issue is important Mr. President. Don’t try to distance yourself from them. ACORN got you elected. They fought for you. They got into people’s faces as you ordered … they called people racist and put pressure on the media as you ordered. Now you are throwing them under the bus because of they are not popular? Where’s your backbone Mr. President? How could you turn your back on ACORN in their hour of need?

LIAR liar obama’s pants are on fire and the MSM let’s him get away with it. Where were the hard questions STEPHANOPOULOS? Thanks for letting the American people down due to your political agenda MSM you suck!

Perhaps its some ultra zen liberal strategy, lie so hard that it becomes truth and the physical truth becomes the lie?

Kathryn Burnett – George is not a Republican he is a Democrat, he worked for Clinton.

Obama knows without Acorn he would not be POTUS. Let’s add another investigation to the list 2008 presidential election fraud. How many votes would Obama and other dems gotten without Acorn?
Time to take Acorn, Obama, the DNC and the MSM down for their conspiracy to steal elections using Acorn and taxpayers dollars.
Hey STEPHANOPOULOS why don’t you do some real reporting into the sex slave industry of under age girls that Acorn seems to be the ring leader of. Why don’t you find those poor girls and help set them free?
A new name for the MSM
Obama butt kissers and defenders of corruption, slavery, tax fraud, voter fraud, IRS fraud and RICO violations.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!!

bh
Mr. Obama did NOT want to discuss ACORN. He interrupted George every time he wanted to discuss any other topic than healthcare and then gave just a terse remark and went right back to his main issue. For me it was nothing but another empty appearance on national TV.
Oratory does not make a president, but it can disguise facts and confuse.

He is either incompetent or lying. Take your pick, neither option bodes well.

ACORN is much more than just street hustlers on the federal dole. Their “community organizing” pressure tactics forced banks all over America to make housing loans to crooks and deadbeats, which fueled the sub-prime mortgage disaster. At the other end of this racket, politically-connected Freddie and Fannie bought many of the worthless loans.
It’s time someone turned over this rock and exterminated the insects. But it won’t be B. H. Obama. He’s one of the insects.

Mr. Stephanopoulos, at least you asked the question. I have to hand that to you. That doesn’t make you fair and balanced as a whole, however. I think the answer was very typical. His non-commitment to a yea or nay answer is the same as “present”.
I cannot wait to be able to vote again.

ah Ben newsflash Bush fired AG’s for refusing to investigate Acorn voter fraud. Remember the witch hunt from the dems over this?
Sure you do it’s just easier for you to try and blame Bush like a good little democrat.
Acorn has been corrrupt for years and the DNC has fought tooth and nail to protect them but now they will throw them under the bus like they always do!

So let me see, the biggest issue is the economy, got it.
And corruption and waste do not contribute at all to the economy and not really worthy of the presidents time?
What am I missing?
The truth?

In re: NancyGee
No, NancyGee; obama was not funded by Russia. He is bought and paid for by George Soros, et al, who want nothing more than to destroy the United States of America from the inside. And believe me, Soros is richer than Russia, and hates this country ‘and..the Republic, for which it stands…’ with stroke-inducing passion.

And there are people who actually want government to run our health care system? Who’ll be running it? Bertha from Acorn?
Obama – be honest with America for once. And ABC, stop facillitating the lies from this administration.

Thanks George for posting this. You are showing insight, honesty and courage in not pandering to this man in the WH who is hurting America and indebting our children. Keep making his behavior plain like this. You are helping to lead journalism out of the woods! Good job!

In re: jra
The amount of money and who else might be getting money is not the point. The point is ACORN is a propaganda arm/ shill for the democrats, and as a purely partisan organization does NOT deserve one dime of the taxpayers money.

Excuse me but the President’s extire work experience was with ACORN. They’ve rec’d $53MM taxpayer money to date and were due $8.5 BILLION more from the stimulus. He addressed both ACORN and SEIU about helping him “transform” America. And he didn’t know?

“You lie!”

E O’Neil
Your comments are BRILLIANT!!
As a banker for 30 years, I can verify every word you said is true. CRA put sooooo much pressure on banks to make loans “in underserved areas” that before we knew it… a whole sub prime industry was out of control…Thank you Acorn and Barney Frank
The sad fact is that a huge percentage of Americans don’t have a clue….never will…God help us..

Obama doesn’t follow ACORN–he leads. Oh, and George? You’re useless.

I think it’s kind of funny with the last bit. Federal corruption and reckless spending is not an important issue, but Afghanistan is? I thought he was all for pulling out of Afghanistan and focusing more on fixing the problems here with special interest groups, reckless spending and a spiraling economy. Tell me, Mr Obama, just what IS important?

Obama IS ACORN. Why else would the media–and you zealots–be so desperate to bury this story??

Congressman Joe Wilson was right about Zerobama, who has as much credibility now as Bill Clinton the day he thankfully departed from office. ACORN is Zerobama’s ‘point of origin’, the same as Reverend Wright and his foul rhetoric — that Zerobama never, never heard!.
As always, the record speaks for itself.

Did you notice Obama’s Clintonlike “I’m lyin and you’re buyin” smirk while he acted like he wasn’t following the Acorn story?
If George is actually acknowledging a Dem scandal, the story must be starting to get some legs; otherwise he would ignore it like he usually does when Dems are involved.

Funny, the Skip Gates thing was hardly “the biggest issue facing the country,” but that didn’t stop the president from being informed enough to offer a silly opinion. I think he just voted “present” again.

QUESTION: “How stupid does he thing America is?”
ANSWER: stupid enough to elect him and stupid enough to continue watching State Sponsored Media for “news.”

Wow. He’s doesn’t know about ACORN? He’s either dangerously unaware of the news, incompetent about how our money is being spent, or he is not telling the truth. None of those explanations puts Obama in a very good light.

The vitriolic Bush haters a la Chas Fletcher need to comprehend that BO is making Bush look greater by the minute.

Where are all the Obama apologists on this one? Shouldn’t they at least be here to call us all racists for calling our “president” a liar?
Our Community Organizer in Chief must really believe that he is just so darn credible and brilliant that no one will catch on to his act. How stupid do you think we are, Obama?

Okay, so he’s not aware of the happenings of ACORN or federal money going to the group. He didn’t know Bill Ayers was a American-hating terrorist. He didn’t know Jeremiah Wright (after 20 years of attending his church) was a racist, blaspheming, hate-mongering idiot parading as a preacher. He didn’t know Van Jones was going around telling people that the white man was putting poison on food crops to kill the minorities AND claiming the former administration set up 9-11.
Come on people…this isn’t hard to figure out. Obama is either a TOTAL idiot with any lack of understanding people or events surrounding him OR his is a TOTAL brainchild who has surrounded himself with certain people for a specific purpose. Make your decision now.

Obama told ACORN that when he became president they would “have a seat at the table” in making policy decisions. But today he says he’s not paying attention to ACORN?
He is either lying in response to Steffie’s questions now, or he was lying to ACORN then.
Either way, he’s a liar.

Let me qualify my previous post. I suppose it’s possible that Obama is a complete fabulist, unable to distinguish reality from fantasy, in which case he wouldn’t *necessarily* be lying. But in that case, he certainly shouldn’t be in the WH.

Its obvious Obama isn’t used to, or comfortable with, questions relating to ACORN. He only wants to focus the interview on matters he has prepared himself for, or that matter to him.

Wow, he really thinks that the people are stupid. Come on he was the one that trained acorn workers to intimidate bankers to get home loans. Can you imagine what they did during the election? I say let’s VOTE all Democrats that are in office now in the next election.IF you noticed Democrats NEVER take any blame for ANYTHING. I come from a family of Democrats so I am embarassed by the job they are doing and will not vote for another Democrat EVER again. Can you imagine what they would do with the health care plan???

I say it time for a FULL investigation starting with those who funded ACORN starting with those in Washington.

Typical Obama answers to tough questions:
I am not aware.
I did not hear.
I was not there.

Its obvious Obama isn’t used to, or comfortable with, questions relating to ACORN. He only wants to focus the interview on matters he has prepared himself for, or that matter to him.

Doing so is part of the job. Maybe he should find a new line of work?

Disingenuous thy name is Barack Obama!
Keep insulting the intelligence of the American people and see where it gets you and your Congress!

oh dear
what an opaque-not transparent-administration we have
whatever he doesn’t wish to address, doesn’t get addressed
i watched the interview this a.m.
how stupid does he think we are? well there were plenty uninspired voters out there,who were led like sheep to the slaughter but they are all lining up now, saying”…what happened?”
what a mess and what a travesty
how do we fix this terrible situation? acorns are his peeps…they were everywhere and now…get the bus rolling because they may be tossed right under..or made to look like it…no doubt he is distancing himself-at least publicly-from them…he has too many questions left unanswered and too many “newspeople” who don’t want to get to the truth..because maybe they would look like the fools which they are

George, did you post this just to gauge the sentiment of the country? CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?

how stupid does he think we are? apparently he thinks we are stupid in a great degree.
arrogant, insufferable boob, he is

lots of people have never listened to obama’s words to understand exactly what his goal is. when asked what he thought about reparations, he said he was opposed to reparations because they did not go far enough. his goal is to return the wealth of this country to it’s people. this is not necessarily about race. it’s more about class warfare and what he sees as corporate greed. you can see evidence of this in every one of his policies (why is there $10 billion dollars in HR3200 for the union retiree medical plan?) now, that’s all fine and great if that’s what he believes. however, i don’t think that is the belief of the majority of Americans – democrat or republican. he will destroy the economy of this country and we will never again see the prosperity we once did. what say you?

I love it Acorngate: Notice his little smile when he told George he wasn’t aware of what was going on? Sign of deception. He used to be their attorney for heaven’s sake.

1what a liar! 2 cbs is not doing its job!3Joe Wilson deserves an apology

Wake Up America!
Smash ACORN and all it’s NUT’S!
That was a very appropriate video it exposed the losers we have been exposing for dozens of months now?
Does no one listen to sane folks any longer? Yep! Obama “I WON” but he has proven he is a LIER over and over.If he moves his mouth….it may be a lie…..
JOE WILSON is our HERO!!!!! GO JOE!!!!

Hopefully Obama has just met his Waterloo. Perhaps we can get him to resign before he’s impeached, like Nixon.

Yeah, this reminds me of when Bush lied about Iraq. Oh, except that Iraq thing killed thousands of innocent American soldiers.

Its time ABC NBC MSMBC CNN and all news reporters ask these types of questions even if (our President) doesn’t give an honest answer to.

seriously…..he didn’t know? Maybe then, he should spend less time on television and more time watching FOX to get up to speed on the issues important to the voters.

What a liar.

Sure reminds me of another U.S. President (hint: one of Red China’s best friends), whose favorite comment on breaking scandals involving himself was “Yeah, I didn’t know a thing about it til I read the paper this morning…”

You Lie!

Didn’t know Acorn received millions, didn’t know Rev. Wright ### ###### America for 20 years, didn’t know how many states were in the United States, I could go on and on. This man needs an in depth mental exam and a drug test !!!!!!

I was waiting to hear, “Acorn, what’s that?”

What a bunch of BS!
Is anyone really suppose to believe that he’s so clueless about how he even got elected in the first place?
Of course he has to say and do what he’s doing. He knows were watching!
What an insult to everyones intelligence his remarks are. He’s like the fox caught in the hen house saying “Oh, I didn’t know there were hens in here ”
What a LOSER! How did America ever let this happen to them in the first place! Oh, I know, lazz ass Republicans who didn’t vote, welfare state voters who just want more free stuff on the backs of people who work and of course, ACORN that Osama knows little about. Yeah Right!
Skip.

He doesn’t know anything about ACORN and no ILLEGALS will get benefits from his healthcare bill!
Looks like a 1 term president to me!

George, you finally got it right this time. Welcome back from Obamaland. Maybe we’ll start watching you again.

Wow Obama worked as their attorney and trained ACORN workers and he didn’t know??!! Not a very good attorney or not telling the truth? How does the President of the US not know where our federal money is being spent? He needs to stay off TV and do his job.

With 0bama ducking the question THREE TIMES, I think it’s safe to say that he’s against any cutting of funds to his ACORN buddies.

i think you ppl are hilarious focusing on acorn as though its the biggest deal of this century. idiots. the voter registration fraud didnt even affect the election. and it seems congress is doing just fine dealing with acorn without the president’s help. the acorn issue is something to be dealt with by underlings. the president has more important business to attend to like making sure ppl have food on their table and our soldiers dont die in war.

He is a Discusting liar. And to think he is trying to run this country is a very big mistake.

Mr. Prez: You Lie!!!!
Here’s another lie from Feb 23, 2009 and I quote Mr. Obama “I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay”
What a complete lack of conscience…

If you are going to interview the President, it would be wise to keep a fire extinguisher at the ready,for his pants.

This is actually a very scary response from our President. The House and Congress just overwhelmingly voted to cut off funding to this criminally corrupt organization last week, and he has the nerve to say that this is not something he is paying attention too. Really??? He didn’t know that this organization was expected to get over $8 billion from the stimlus. Really???
Do a google search and look up ACORN sues Citibank in 1994 and you will find Obama’s name listed in several articles about this beginning of the sub prime lending push. George, I’m glad you asked him this question, but please take it further and investigate the unbreakable committment that he has to this organization and why? This is incredibly scary. These ACORN representatives at five locations were encouraging the sex slavery or children. Apparently, there are more under cover tapes still to surface. What will it take for the President to start paying attention?

Biggest liar?That would be our previous
president who took a 490 trillion dollar budget and spent over 700 trillion of our tax dollars in an illegal and immoral war.
That has us in the worst recesssion since the 1930′s
Thanks for nothing President Bush.

JPH:
How is Bush related to the fact that Obama looked into the camera at ABC and told the American public a bald-faced lie? If I were in your shoes, I would be calling this a case of “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”.

Some people called Bill Clinton “Slick Willie”. I think Obama would “climb a pole to tell a lie rather than sit on the ground and tell the truth”.
Too, Obama is certainly not listening to what “We the People” want: he is doing what he pleases and I certainly do not feel safe with him steering our “Ship of State”.

“He looked you and all Americans in the eye….and lied through his teeth with a smile.”
Which makes him no different from any other past or future President.

He hasn’t been following it? “The administration takes accountability extremely seriously,” Robert Gibbs said of ACORN. I guess he doesn’t talk with his own press secretary and/or he’s not part of the same administration Gibbs is talking about? Yep, Bush is starting to look like a choirboy compared to him. Bush had his problems with the WMD’s but he rarely disguised what he wanted whether you agreed or not. We new the devil we were dealing with there. The problem today is who are we dealing with now? How’s that transparency working for everyone?

Didnt you sign the freaking bill?? Read what you sign, or are as dumb as Van Jones.
Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. DId you ever her that from your mentor that you walked the streets of in chicago as Frank did???? (as in frank marshall davis)

GIVE US A BREAK MR. PRESIDENT! I know it’s NOT nice to call you a LIAR…so I’ll just say – you’re terribly adept at stretching ‘your’ truth, but sorry I’m not buying it.

Well, of course Obama is lying – that almost goes without saying… What is even more interesting is that ABC has finally acknowledged that there IS a major scandal with ACORN. Charlie Gibson is a liar too and ABC has been trying for two weeks to protect the president AND Charlie Gibson by not mentioning ACORN and its outrageous actions. ABC = Phony, phony, phony!!!

“Frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely,” Obama said. “I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.”
Frankly, Mr. President, this IS a big issue to the people of America and the fact that you can lie straight to the face of George S and the *NATION* scares me to death!
We know he has the inside track on the latest goings-on. You better believe his cronies at ACORN have been crying on his shoulder for the past 10 days!
He may have salvaged some respect if he had said he would seriously consider the recommendations of the House and Senate to cut off funding to ACORN. As it stands, I have no faith in nor do I trust this man AT ALL.
He should not have the power to over rule the wishes of the vast majority of the nation (represented by a Democratic House and Senate, no less). It will be interesting to see what comes of this.

“Joe Wilson for President…”
What is it about people that can’t speak proper English that makes them Presidential material?
The proper shout-out would have been, “You’re a liar.” or “You’re lying.” But “You lie.” is something that a three-year-old (or Geo. Bush) would say.
If English ever becomes the official language of the US govt. would Bush or Wilson be able to pass the literacy test?

Quite frankly, Mr President, we don’t believe you anymore.

Has anyone considered just maybe Mr. Obama doesn’t have a clue. He certainly was not qualified to run this country. Maybe he is just a puppet for those “friends” of his. He has surrounded himself with the likes of the Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Van Jones and ACORN for so long he sees nothing wrong with their way of thinking. He identifies with them. He is their front man. They all hate this nation and they needed someone in a place of power to bring this country down. I pray that we survive his presidency constitution intact.

Not keeping up with it? I thought ACORN had a seat at the table to get this economy moving? And working closely to push the new healthcare plan? And until recently were deeply involved with the new census. Must have been too busy watching American Idol and the VH1 awards.

“Frankly, Mr. President, this IS a big issue to the people of America…”
No it’s not. Most people don’t care. SOME people care about little else. Besides the Congress has already voted to cut off funds. Besides most of ACORN’s money is raised privately.
It’s a dead issue on the national level. Let the states prosecute the wrong-doers and be done with it.

Can’t expect him to follow this when he’s too busy following black professors getting arrested by white cops. Maybe he could have the ACORN people to the White House to share a beer and have a summit…..
Worst…President…..EVER!
And he’s a LIAR!

My problem isn’t that President Obama told a blatant (and obvious) lie, it’s that George asked the question, then smiled and rolled over hoping to get his tummy scratched. Hey George, it’s called journalism. If you want to be a cheerleader again, buy yourself a skirt and pom poms and let someone take over who will actually help us find out the truth behind politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle.

For pitys sake!!! What an absolute farse! He’s such a liar, it’s second nature for him. (Maybe, first nature is more like it.) LOL!
I really do feel sorry for his little girls. Someday, they’ll learn who/what their Daddy really is! How sad! (IMO, of course!)

That’s a lie! That’s a lie… That’s a lie!… etc….

“8.5 billion is not a lot of money, and besides, I’m not going to raise taxes, and there is no public option with the health care plan. The citizens of the United States will enjoy more freedom and the world will be at peace under my leadership.”

George, nice job on the healthcare question.
Since when is a fine for not buying a goverment product not a tax?
Please more balanced interviews like this.
We all know the relationship you have with Rahm & the morning conference calls, but you have to keep asking this guy serious questions.

This guy is lying through his teeth. This is a VERY IMPORTANT news item that he should be INTERESTED IN because this is how he got ELECTED, but then if it does get investigated, that will SHOW HOW MUCH they were in BED with OBAMA.
Obama needs to stop CAMPAIGNING and needs to be PRESIDENTIAL. He doesn’t know how to lead at all. Look what has happened to this country since he was elected. He has more CZARS then RUSSIA, now that should make you all FEEL REALLY GOOD, HUH?????? god help us because this man is KILLING this great USA.

Barrack Obama = A slicker version of Van Jones

As a banker were were contantly pressured to make CRA loans and the banks extorted by Obama as a lawyer for ACORN (after he trained these upstanding Acorn nuts) when he sued BofA, Citibank et al.
It was the same thing as now. Scream racism until they throw money at you or the problem is swept under the rug.

Spoken like a true ACORN NUT, Mr. President. This nut has not fallen far from the tree.

I have been waitine to hear what he would have to say,
We all need to send cards to the white house, all of them with two words on them, “you Lie”.

The President is either a liar, or he is … no, nevermind, he is a liar.

This guy is a piece of work. For him to say that he hasn’t been following the Acorn developments closely is such a blatant lie. When is the liberal media going to snap out of it and stop pandering to this guy? George , you are a spineless puke….when the president insults your intelligence, challenge him!

Ever notice Obama can’t say one thing right without a slick speech, that he doesn’t even write, on a teleprompter?
His lack of transparency is showing his lack of integrity…I’m sorry, this guy is not good presidential material…too bad more folks weren’t listening a little deeper than his rhetoric before they voted for The Big Change. The Republicans better get their sorry act together and find someone who’s actually electable like…Mitt Romney. In the meantime, as they say,”Buckle-up, it’s gonna be a rocky ride…”

Poor George. He wanted so badly to be a real grownup reporter, but the look in Obama’s eye and his authoritarian, warning tone when he said, “George” took all the professional fire out of him. Makes me wonder if Jake Tapper would have folded so quickly. It was painfully obvious that Obama didn’t want to be questioned about Acorn and just as painfully obvious that George didn’t want to put on his big boy pants and work for the American people.

Where are all the Bush bashers that had their faces in the cameras blasting him daily? WHERE ARE YOU????? Stop burying your granola eating heads in the sand and show yourselves. This country is in serious trouble with this communist in charge!!! You voted him in, so if you love him so much, stand by him and tell the rest of us that you don’t think he’s a blatant liar!!

“Yeah, this reminds me of when Bush lied about Iraq. Oh, except that Iraq thing killed thousands of innocent American soldiers.”
Except that Bush didn’t lie about Iraq.
Even if he did, how would that excuse Obama’s, er, prevarications?

E O’Neil
“Your comments are BRILLIANT!!
As a banker for 30 years, I can verify every word you said is true. CRA put sooooo much pressure on banks to make loans “in underserved areas” that before we knew it… a whole sub prime industry was out of control…Thank you Acorn and Barney Frank
The sad fact is that a huge percentage of Americans don’t have a clue….never will…God help us..”
If the American people ever put two and two together and realize that Acorn & Obama were at the heart of the mortgage crisis that caused the financial meltdown of the economy he is toast. This is why HE never wants to discuss the topic. These mortgages were split up into tiny pieces and sold as good investments. They have caused people to lose over half of their 401Ks and other investments. Obama & Acorn should be held accountable. Hillary tried to broach this subject before the SC primary, charges of racism were hurled at her and at Bill. I am AA and I never have nor will I ever support Obama.

George…..
You said that this was the most popular question for Obama.
What does that tell you? People want the news. Stop covering for him. And what is the media trying to cover up any way? With blogs and the new media, we can uncover the truth about most issues.

HEY, O’Babble sounds just like Charlie Gibson. Probably never heard of Jimmy Carter, Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers either.

smc – everyone, repub and dem, need to do a google on acorn 1994 and read about our leader and his work with acorn. What is his objective as potus?

acorn does not get a lot of federal funds. — an average of $3.5 million per year. That is not a lot of money folks++++++On what planet?

I’m guessing he’ll remmember sooner than later.

Did you see the “waveoff” Obama gave George? Basically a “screw you, I’m not answering that question.” Why couldn’t you stick it out George, demand an answer? Oh, would you have to buy coffee tomorrow for Rahm and Begala? If that was all you’re going to do with him, why didn’t you just let Rahm phone it in and you just do your usual Sunday shtick. You folded up like the wet paper bag Obama can’t fight his way out of. ABC news is a farce.

The Acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree! Either make the tree good and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt and it’s fruit corrupt, for the tree is known by his fruit. Matthew 12:33

johnnie1- Don’t really know,but he seems always trying to hide things(LIE)whats really scary is he wants a civilian army better funded than the us army. His views of the constitution,His czars and there background,and everything he wants to take over. it seems with “green”&conservatoin regulatory is a back door to take everything over

The biggest question is:
Will the MSM follow this story and actually do some investigative stories for once instead of blowing hope and change smoke?

I was astonished at George Stephanopoulos’s objective interview with the president. I honestly thought I would have to sift through the papers and analyze what was intimated and said. Again, Mr. President your words were hollow. He knew about their finances, he was their attorney. Another video will surface and discredit his statement that he did not know. Fire your speech writer or tell him or her to deliver new material, Mr. President.

Come on, enough! I don’t care what camp your in this is insanity. He has the brass to lie to America as if we should be just some how OK with this because he is the president. That just will not wash. Not now or ever and we on top of all this and will not let up until it is cleaned up. How dare he. If it wasn’t for Fox News investigation and reporting all of this corruption would just be lost until it is out of complete control. Thank God that we have at lest one solid source to let the people know what is really going on.

Even if Obama hasn’t followed the ACORN story and the Congressional votes closely — highly unlikely, there is ZERO possibility that his staff did not fully prepare him for ACORN questions on the five Sunday shows. So his answer was not off the cuff but a carefully calculated lie.
An in-depth ACORN investigation would be a serious threat to Obama, and, like Nixon and Clinton at comparable points in their presidencies, he’s paying close attention.

BIG DEAL!!!! If the unemployment rate was 4% then yes we’d care about ACORN. As things are right now.. I agree with Obama,…. who cares!!! You people just want to hate. The point is you DONT tell a president he is a liar at such forums. Not even if he goes to war and kills hundreds of thousands innocent souls.

liar, liar pants on fire!

But I thought Obama could walk and chew gum at the same time?
Anyone remember him saying that when McCain went back to Washington?
He knows how much ACORN was getting.

commander- almost all Dems.are on record stateing that there where wmds in iraq,their on you-tube.the war came from the congress.Look it up. And there was wmds in Iraq You can look that one up too! so get over it

This is so sad, Acorn have been marked for $8.5 Billion in Federal Tax Dollars..And he he does not Know…What has happen to this country? NO TAX DOLLARS TO ACORN

I am so happy to read all these comments. It gives me hope that this country might not be lost. Real people are seeing the real truth about the BHO. Obama is a pathological liar. Before his one term is done Joe Wilson will be called a prophet for screaming “You lie!”

Wow… this guy is incredibly dishonest! He takes no responsibility for anything he does, any association he has/had, any mistake he or his administration makes… typical Chicago politician!

Mr President, I don’t believe you.

And you good libs were all concerned about BUSH lying !!!!!!!!!! Even GW wouldn’t go out saying he’s going to start a huge GOVERNMENT PROGRAM and he could pay for it with SPENDING SAVINGS !!!!!!!! This ZERO is a true BS artist. Thanks for nothing, you people that voted this lightweight in any office above DOG CATCHER !!!!!!

John Smart: Oh Happy Day! Huh?
Thanks to all the uber-educated, obama “Yes We Can-ers” for this!

I think the Clown in Chief has it backwards. He should have said ACORN is following HIM closely! Along with the SEIU, LaRaza, yadda yadda yadda.

Would you believe that his worshippers still believe his lies?

Obama, you lie!!!!
OBAMA=ACORN

Hey Obama….YOU LIE!

How long into this interview was it before our President blame racist America for what ACORN has been doing?
I wonder what Martin Luther King is thinking now…. He kept imploring us to judge people by the content of thier hearts rather than the color of their skin. Let’s examine the content of some high level hearts right now – Eric Holder, Nancuy Pelosi. Charlie Rangle, Betha Lewis, the members of the New Black Panther pParty who like going to polls with nightsticks in their hands…. those who fire Inspector generals and do so in violation Federal procedures…. Yes, let’s examine the contents of the high level hearts in Washington right away.

Friends, Acorn must be taken down.
It is the genusis of Obama’s brown shirt Domestic Police Force. It is also the foundation for SEIU.
If allowed to exist, they will come to your house if you disagree them.
They are worse than the Mafia.
They fear nothing except lack of funding.

“Not following it closely”…must be “above his paygrade”.
Obama is a pathological liar.

I DIDN’T KNOW ……
NOTHING ON ABC ? HUH ?
I DIDN’T KNOW ………..
NOTHING ON NBC ? HUH ?
I DIDN’T KNOW …………
NOTHING ON CNN ? HUH ?
I DIDN’T KNOW ………….
NOTHING ON CBS ? HUH ?
SOUNDS LIKE HE NEEDS A REAL DEAL CZAR
OR, A REAL NEWS CZAR
OR, A REALITY CZAR
HOW ABOUT A WAKE UP CZAR

This is what a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER will get you.

ACORN WHO? (OBAMA)

just the answer that we all have come to expect from our dear leader…. When he is being advised by the scumbags, liars, and thieves ,,Axelrod and Emanual, what else should we expect.

Does this video really shock anyone? He claims that what he saw on the video was “inappropriate and deserves to be investigated”, but he leaves out illegal. And now he is not supporting the cutting of their funds? And…there are bigger problems for America right now???
In other words, It is not a big deal for an federally funded organization to support human trafficing and prostitution while teaching people how to defraud the government and our banks??? Welcome to “Change”…

To paraphrase a line from a A Christmas Story:
B.O.: “ACORN….What’s an ACORN?….Wake up stupid!!” “No, no, no! IwantaChicagostylepoliticalmachineinthe
whitehousesoIcanimplementmylongrangesocialistagenda…. :-)”
Santa: “You’ll end up shooting your critics, kid!”

What a liar,
Also Michelle said Sasha had a scare with menagitis but they were so lucky she did not have it when she was a baby and that same night He goes on to say how she had menagitis and is was so scarey, he can’t even tell the truth about his own children.
Acorn is Obama, what a fool

Such comments are unacceptable as they point to only one of two possibilities, neither of which are a positive for the President:
1. He should have known something as important at this, but didn’t, so his competency is questionable.
2. Joe Wilson was right.

What a phony and corrupt opportunist this Obama has always been.
And obviously still is.
But hey, if he keeps lying this damn blatantly, then even those who stubbornly “like” him and let him skate on nearly anything and everything may finally wake up to his thorough dishonesty and lame BS.

It’s sad that “Afghanistan is an issue worth talking about” and ACORN isn’t.
That’s sad thinking, Mr President.

Perhaps if the President paid more attention to corruption and cleaned it up there would be enought money to lower the defict substantually.
I think, the Government in their zeal to label the public with names like “fringe”, “astrograss roots”, etc. have forgotten that they are really VOTERS.

ABC and the rest of the MSM should really hire someone to read their user comments and take heed. The American people are tired of them shilling for this mockery of an administration.

he talks out both side of his face and the media knows this and let’s him get away with it, and it is underminging our way of life here, thanks for not telling us the truth mr obmama

Our President has been a liar from the beginning and I don’t think you’ll ever find any truth in him. ABC You do a disservice to our countyy

Liar

This is the guy that’s on video promising Acorn people that they will help him write policy/law… right??
America, you decide.
This isn’t a left and right issue, this is a right and wrong issue.

Not for anything, but George, you should have continued to question him on this, and in my opinion, by completely outraged by the fact that Obama said he wasn’t aware Acorn was getting that much funding!!! Wasn’t aware??? Acorn was earmarked $8.5 billion in OBAMA’s stimulus. Wasn’t aware??? He worked with the organization back in Chicago!! Wasn’t aware??? He’s the President…he should be aware of every penny in which the taxpayers are shelling out!!! George, it’s another example of a softball interview. I’m very concerned this “mainstream media” is letting this guy get away with destroying our nation. Shame on you George….

I*M*P*E*A*C*H

Obama said that this is not the biggest thing facing the nation i have to say what planet is he from he is on TV everyday talking about health care and how he has to raise taxes and put fines on people and companies and cutting billions from medicare and stuff . yet he doesn’t think the money going to acorn and the possibility of 8.8 billions from the stimulus is nothing . just think if all that money went to the health care plus you take all the money that went to pork projects in the stimulus and the new budget and the money from fraud from medicare and from Medicaid it would pay for all the health ins and if they did no more pork and kept up with the fraud investigation he would not have to raise taxes and would not have to pass fines . and also the bill will end up on obama’s desk and it will never get signed he has already said so he will just keep saying i have not looked at it yet because there is so much other pressing issues but will get to it as soon as possible

In Feb. he fronts 8.5 BILLION for acorn,
in the stimulas pkg. he pushed through.
Who were going to be the foot soldiers for his proposed “Civilian Security Force”?

He doesn’t know they get a lot of tax dollars? What a bold face liar! Simply stunning that he even considers anything he says as honest anymore. The dude was on boards that doled out money from ACORN for radical leftist projects. He knew where it came from. He knew they were in line to get billions for the census. Where’s Joe Wilson to point out the obvious when you need him?

It’s NO surprise that Obama says he isn’t ‘following it’ .. that’s a LIE!! Obama has been ‘caught’ in so many lies, and NOW he wonders why the American people DON’T TRUST HIM?? Obama is surely ‘not going to sign’ the bills that Congress passed on defunding ACORN, thereby creating yet another ‘CRISIS’ in America.. Americans are fed-up with his ‘game playing’ .. As he said in his ‘Joint Session’ speech, the ‘Games are Over’ .. That’s right, HIS games are over for the American people!!! We don’t TRUST HIM!!

haha … sorry G, the Prez swatted ur rude little question into 3rd row. hope u haters out there r happy now … roflmao!!! he shamed you G. swat!!!better luck next time, G … peace!

Unbelievable. What a joke he is.

Liar! Liar! Pants On Fire!

Unbelievable… “not the biggest issue this country is facing”.. perhaps not, but ANY organization that would facilitate the trafficing of an underage girl prostitution ring.. IS A PRETTY GOD DAMN BIG ISSUE.

George, it appears you were mugged by reality when the POTUS controlled your line of questioning with his off-the-wall lies to your honest questions. You got Alinskied: Obama laughed and ridiculed you for questioning him. How’d that work for you?
I was embarrassed for you.
I know it’s painful and a real eye opener, but PLEASE wake up and understand you’re being used.
Glenn Beck was right when he said the best way to neutralize his extroidinary ratings and popularity is for the REST of the media to also begin to report the TRUTH.
Hope you’ll be the first to MAN UP. George.

Acorn has recently been investigated by House of Representatives. Here is the report. There should be a link to this report on every website in the country!
This report was prepared by a bi-partisan committee. Based on this report alone, the IRS should be required to audit all of the ACORN entities.

First, I’d like to commend George Stephanopoulos for perhaps the best interview of Obama to date that I have seen. That said, after hearing Obama’s reply(make that retort)regarding ACORN,it’s hard to fault Joe Wilson’s reactive knee jerk to the man. Talk about a jaw dropping moment.
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.”
It’s hard to read that transcript now without my mind supper-imposing the voice of Forrest Gump.
OBAMA: “George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.”
Mr. President, if that’s the case, don’t try to chew gum when you walk.

haha-sorry Obama2012, your man was the rude one. He cut off every legitimate question in the interview that he may have not had a believable answer to or would have reflected badly on him. George works for ABC which still looks at your man as the second coming and Obama knows it. He uses his standing as president as a billy club. A terse reply or look from him to end that particular discussion would be upheld by ABC. George Will is the only regular on the show who is able to tell it as it is and hopefully we will soon have 2 George’s who will not swallow the rhetoric and face the facts.

Obama and the attorney general are in this together! They think the American people are “fools”. Do you think Obama didn’t have Holder go after the CIA so if it went bad he could say, “eric’s fault! Problem he has is we are not fools, he will see this very shortly! 2010 can’t come soon enough!!

If he was white his face would be red!!

It is sad to say that I have to explain to my children on WHY we are boycotting Disney. Don”t count on Christmas sales from Texans.

Pres. Obama’s not focused on ACORN, he’s focused on saving his own hide. I’m certain that the more we find out about ACORN, the closer it will lead us to the Oval Office. I think George’s strategy was very good during the interview. He realized Obama wasn’t going to give up anything substantive about ACORN during that interview, no matter what. Wait it out a little longer, let the story develop, see where the facts lead. Wait until you can get beyond hunches or suspicions, then press the issue.

Wow, thanks for telling us uninformed, unejumacated simpletons what exactly is and isn’t worth talking about.

In the interest of bipartisanship, may I suggest to Sat Night Live their next big joke/skit of the year :
“I can’t see ACORN from my(white)house”

Does he really believe we are so stupid that we would believe he does’nt know what is going on in acorn?And why did you George not follow up with That question? You at least had more concern than all of the other news medias! Has the whole world gone mad ?

Obama got very very nervous when Stephanopoulos asked the Acron question. He looked angry as well.
It doesn’t look good at all!

thanks to Joe Wilson… Mr. President you lie !!!! about many things. AMERICA !!!WAKE UP.

Feel those winds shifting BHO & Co.?
This thread, on a MSM site no less, represents a groundswell of public outrage and activism, this time from the true working class tax paying law abiding Americans. We started with our heads cast down after an election that offered worse and worser(as Olbermann likes to put it). But around Apr. 15th, something started to happen. My wife and I(no spring ckickens)protested…PROTESTED!, along with several thousand others at our state capital. Despite all the namecalling and lack of MSM coverage, we grew in numbers and came together in DC on 9/11.
And despite the attempt to minimize that event, we continue to grow. You see here on this thread an amazing outpouring of pent up emotion and engaged thinking from a lot of good people. In 2010 you will see what true grassroots means. And for the doubters, this time there will be no spinning of the numbers. Hold on to your hats.

He didnt pay attention to what Rev Wright said in church and doesnt pay attention to ACORN. Maybe our President needs to start paying attention to his associations.

Ditto!!

Wow! The annointed re-distributer is in a pickle! As I heard in the election; You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig!
You can take the community organizer out of ChiTown, but you can’t wipe dirty ChiTown from the Community Organzer!
This Administration stinks to high heaven!

Good try George! How sad for the greatest country in the world to have such a liar as president. What happened to “transparency?”- Please wake up fellow Americans- and George… you may need to change networks in order to get your clear and simple questions answered.

With power comes great responsibility/or with power comes the mind-boggling belief that everything I said that is on tape deletes automatically from everyone’s memory- bank as soon as I change options or opinions. Politicians wake-up!! We will not tolerate your words not matching your actions no matter what your title is!!

Acorn has done good work in the past, but if the administrators have lost control with their employees than it’s time to close it down. However, the President has no reason to lie. Joe Wilson is a racist and we the ones who always vote will remember who he represents, the Republican Party. They are all a bunch of racist even if the Presidents says race is not the issue. But the most important issue is money and all the Republican Represenatives are on the take. They are willing to sell this country to the highest bidder.

George,
have not though much of you because I think you over looking some reporting due to if the person your interviewing is “left or right”. However thanks for asking the question and I could see the reporter in you for once. Thanks for trying to dig a little more, but I think we both know Obama worked for Acorn, so he must know “something” about it.
Thanks,
Nathan

Seriously. this guy may be the AntiChrist! He is a smooth-talking liar who does exactly as he pleases, no matter what the American people think. He doesn’t know a thing about running the country and his advisors are not qualified to give him advice. Beware America! The worst is yet to come.

Yolanda … google “Why Martin Luther King Was Republican” (include quotes) and read Ms Frances Rice’s article. I’m an independent, and I don’t believe that Dr King would tie himself to either party. But after reading Ms Rice’s article, maybe you will reconsider your loyalty to the Democratic party … such loyalty is self-defeating.

Obama doesn’t know about ACORN? What about when he said, “Yes, but let me say that even before I get inaugurated, during the transition we’re going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We’re gonna be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America.” Didn’t he pay ACORN almost a million dollars? I bet he knows more about ACORN than he’s pretending. What’s crazy is that Obama actually managed passing out funds when he was with ACORN. He knows what goes on, he’s just a liar as Joe Wilson pointed out.

Maybe this president needs to get back to work and stop attending all these campaign rallies and talk shows. we pay you to be president and to be aware of these issues as chief law enforcer. So get back to work

Let me get this straight. ABC did not want to cover the original story, but finds this new worthy? I think I’ll follow Chuck’s advise and get my real news from the “CABLES.”

At what point do we throw up our hands and say all credibility in this President has been tossed out the window. Didn’t know ACORN received stimulus money?! Doesn’t know what they do??!! Does anyone else hear a stark similarity to the whole Rev. Wright scenario? This closet socialist continues to LIE and the liberal media won’t take him to the mat over it. It is appalling and disgraceful. If this were Bush, the news pundits would be crucifying him. My God, what a blunder this election has turned out to be!!

Even though ACORN was hired by the Census Bureau for Census work which of course is being overseen by the Guru himself (Rahm Emanuel) and is now fired, yet this great and knowledgeable man plays the I haven’t been following any of this.

George..
how did you keep yourself from laughing out loud ….his not knowing about Acorn is as believable as if he said he doesn’t know his place of birth,,,, but than again ??? go figure

Cannot believe as a journalist you let him skate through the interview like that. It was a lost golden moment for ABC and especially for you George.
It could have won you an award to go in and do some critical analysis. My ten year odl could have done a better job.

Every speech Obama has made and interview is filled with misrepresentation.
And I voted for him.

This clown lies, breathing in and breathing out! What a role model his is for our children!

he didn’t say he has never payed attention to them. he is trying to get you to see that he has bigger problems to worry about then paying attention to SOME bad apples in this organization. He is the President so of course theres plenty of bigger things keeping him busy. he agrees it should be investigated so do I now lets worry about bigger problems

Obama knows full good and well that acorn is corrupt! He helped them get by with illegal activity when he was their lawyer and again now by not totally cutting off federal funds. I cannot believe obama thinks he has a changce of getting re-elected. Of course if he keeps acorn afloat he will get some of the fraudulent votes that got him into office, but the public is on to them now, and on to obama!
