President Obama Says He Is Not Paying Attention To Acorn ~ Does That Seem Unusual ?

By
Real Estate Agent

Sunday President Obama appeared for a marathon number of TV interviews.  He was interviewed by 5 news networks.  He did not include the most popular cable news outlet FOX NEWS.

For more than a week Fox News has been unveiling damaging videos regarding Acorn.  The activities brought to light include aiding individuals to commit mortgage fraud, tax fraud, child prostitution and other unlawful activities.

Congress and the Senate both passed bills to cut off funding to Acorn.  The Director of the Census Bureau severed ties with the organization.  Certainly those reactions were both note worthy and newsworthy.

President Obama was asked
by George Stephanopoulos if he would cut off funding to Acorn in light of the recent revelations.  President Obama replied that frankly he had not been paying too much attention to the news about Acorn. He said he really did not know Acorn was getting that much federal money. His excuse was there were far too many other pressing issues in this country besides Acorn.

President Obama was quick to call the Police in Cambridge "stupid" when his good friend Prof Gates was arrested. The day after the MTV awards President Obama was caught on mic saying he thought Kanye West acted like a "jackass".

One must wonder what news source President Obama relies on?  The stories about Prof. Gates and Kanye West are worthy of a Presidential rebuke, but Acorn is not.

Mr. President, perhaps you should tune into the Fox Network so you can be kept abreast of the news the American people consider to be important.

Pretty amazing isn't it? Nothing like pretending.

Don't you love that he will go on Letterman but won't go on Fox. Guess the questions would be a little harder to lie through.

Not really too unusual when you consider the past eight years of history.

Bush didn't pay attention to the terror warnings.  Bush didn't even pay attention to the terrorist attacks.  He was too confused and just kind of sat there after he was told.

He didn't pay attention to our constitution, when he crapped all over it.

He didn't pay attention to our very own laws, which make waterboarding illegal.

He didn't pay attention to Katrina, while people drowned in their attics.

So no...  I don't think it's so unusual.  It's something I've gotten used to over the past eight years.

Kim,  I do think it is really amazing.  Trivial news is more important to Obama than a scandal concerning the organization he worked for.  He contributed 800K of his campaign money to them which helped fund their illegal voter registration work.

Hi, Bonnie.  As you pointed out in one of your posts, the Tea Party in Washington was planned for 6 or so months and he left to go to a campaign rally and the WH said they didn't know about it. Not even in office for a year and he's campaigning all over including the marathon interviews last Sunday.  I thought this guy is smart, yet he didn't know about ACORN receiving federal funding.  Either that or Joe Wilson was right---You Lie, Mr. President!

Kind of funny that the HIGHEST rated cable news channel doesn't get the interview when he is trying to get the word out.  I guess he really didn't want to face tough questions...  They could have invited Beck.  That would have been a hoot.  Mano a mana... no teleprompters.

It's plain and simple.  The president is a liar.  There I've said it, now I'm a racist.

Bonnie, I'm watching Hannity right now, and he's showing a montage of the interviews, and obama is almost like he's reading a script in those interviews.  Those questions must have been pre-ordained.  Can we say spoon fed?  The fringe media really did their jobs.

Bonnie,

It truly is amazing. That is why it is so important for us to all do research to see what is going on.

Lord knows we would not get it from any news source besides Fox.

Yolanda,  Thank your for remembering my remark on another post. You are correct.  You are always right on.  I have to chuckle about your Joe Wilson comment - he dared to tell Obama the truth.  He merely verbalized what the American public is thining.  Something Obama does not practice.

Lane, Beck said tonight he would gladly give Obama an hour.  Obama is scared to death of Beck.  Even O'Reilly.  I have to hand it to George for asking a tough question.  The Artful Dodger squirmed out of that answer too.

Bob, I watched that too. Looked like a parrot.  The same crap over and over again.  Yeah , there you go calling the poor guy a liar.  Tsk Tsk.  Turn you into the White House tattle tale line.

Alice,  Perhaps the White House is being frugal and not subscribing to cable TV. Should we give Obama a subscription for Christmas?

He does not want the truth why would he watch it?

Bonnie - first, why am I not surprised to have found a "blame Bush" comment very early in this string. Second, it is obviously among a lot of things that are not important to President Obama, i.e. the shooting of Pro-Life Activist Pouillon, did get one sentence. Or how long it took him to say anything about Private Long being murdered in Arkansas and nothing about the terrorist that did it.

Admittedly, the jackass comment was only a second, but the Gates issue took hours of his time. But an organization that helped get him elected, that has been under investigation for years, that stands to get billions of taxpayer dollars, he doesn't pay attention to, he's too busy trying to kill capitalism. And, he never really answered the question whether he would sign the bills cutting off the funding.

Mike, The blame Bush remark is typical of trying to diminish the activities of this administration, It's like getting caught stealing and as justification saying " Well Tommy did it too".

Not only trying to kill capitalism but trying to create a welfare state.  I just posted another blog a few minutes ago that you might be interested in reading about Humana.  The Constitutional violations of this administration just keep coming and coming.

Somebody tell Arizona that Bush is out of the office.  Good God!

 

Bonnie, Expect less.  Haven't we learned?  Off subject but check this out: .... I was listening to the radio yesterday on the way to work.  They had MRS. Obama on talking about Healthcare and blah blah blah, she said, "I will never forget the day Sasha was sick, I took her to the Dr. and they had me take her to the ER because she COULD have meningitis."  She said, "Thank goodness I COULD take her and Thank goodness we got to go straight home." THEN, the had MR. OBAMA on, he was making ANOTHER speech somewhere.. and he said, " I will never forget when Sasha was diagnosed with meningitis and had to stay in the hospital for 3 days" "Thank goodness we were able to take her?"

HA  I was cracking up!!!!!

LIAR!

Ah Larry, you certainly took the words off the tip of my tongue.  If he veto's the bill to take away their funding that will be the clincher.  A lie to the American public to manipulate them and get elected is no less egregious than a lie about some White House intern.

Nixon was impeached for obstructing justice and lying.  Obama should be calling for a full scale investigation. Instead he looks the other way. that to me is aiding an organization so they are immune from accountability.  He'd rather have our CIA agents outed than expose Acorn.

It is Bush's fault I tell you, he did it from an undisclosed location in Iraq. Seriously when will a politician stop lying. Vote all incumbents out. We can and deserve better.
