Obama: I had no idea ACORN was getting so much federal money

I know in Liberal Land, calling out a Democrat President on lies is considered blasphemous, but – well, when he talks about allegedly not knowing that his pet group ACORN was getting so much federal money, he’s lying.

Michelle Malkin absolutely positively calls him out on the lie here.

Gotta take my hat off to George Stephanopoulos for really holding Obama’s feet to the fire on a number of issues in his pre-taped interview with him, which aired yesterday.

Related to Obama’s network blitz yesterday, Howie Kurtz writes about how some in the MSM feel Obama might be “diluting the product” by “wearing out his welcome” on TV. I should point out that Obama made sure to deliberately snub Fox News, which of course has been the only network out there which has tried to do what others in the mainstream media are supposed to do but frequently don’t, and that’s hold the government accountable.

We’ll just forget for five minutes the widespread outrage and complaints from lefties when members of the Bush administration would allegedly “snub” liberal media news outlets in favor of Fox. I seem to remember the suggestion that Bush and Co. “couldn’t take the tough questions” CBS, NBC, etc had for him and instead supposedly preferred “softballs.” Hmmm – where are those same critics now?

Fox’s Chris Wallace has a must-watch/read response to the WH’s decision to not include Fox News in on the interview schedule. Money quote:

“They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington,” he said.

Ya think?

It’s right there on page 29 of the Baucus bill ..
Excise Tax. The consequence for not maintaining insurance would be an excise tax.

I’m just sick to death of our President acting like the buffoon (that is an act .. isn’t it ?).
Clearly he doesn’t even know what’s in these bills, so obviously none of these bills are his plan, which remains as amorphous as ever in a permanent state of “vaporware“.

Obama’s inability to put pen to paper to communicate his plan really makes one wonder if those rumours of Bill Ayers writing Obama’s books are true.

I gave up watching Sunday news shows after I became computer literate, but after yesterday, I’ll increase Chris Wallace and FOX ratings every week. Obama free on antenna TV; you can’t take a tough question, Barry?

B. Hussein Obama is acting stupid on ACORN just like he did with Hate Preacher J. Wright, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, and Communist Marxist Van Jones. Everything is beginning to add up that he intends to take down the free enterprise system and wreck our national security. I hate to see what this country is going to look like at the end of his first term in 2012. I fear that it is not good.

Here’s the thing I thought was so bad. BOBO says ACORN is not the most important thing going on. OMG is he kidding? Does he not think it’s important that an organization he openly supports, who is corrupt and receiving millions of our money is not important to us. Wake up BOZO. We’re very concerned about supporting ACORN.

Either Zero is the biggest liar or the dumbest SOB to ever sit in the WH. I’m befuddled on that one, myself.
I’d bet he was still being compensated by ACORN. At least up until his Coronation.
I also like Chris Wallace, but I’m disappointed he chose Andy Stern as his Power Player of the week last Sunday( 9-13). Stern does put the power in Power Player, tho.

WHEN are people going to realize and investigate that this young punk is simply a PUPPET. That’s why he’s willing to look stupid, willing to give up a second term, etc. HE IS OWNED by someone with specific goals that he must meet.

You know, thinking back to the Barry’s 1st two Executive Orders, I now realize that this man is a tool. Remember when someone asked him to explain what was in them, he stumbled over the explaination and finally Rahm had to step in. This man is not as smart as some people want to think he is. Look how he handles opposition….these are the actions of someone who has never had to deal with confrontation… or avoided it most of his life. – Lorica

I do really enjoy Chris. He has come a long way since he took over for Tony Snow. I miss Tony so much and have since he left, but at least Chris is truly fair, and balanced. – Lorica

“They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington,” he said.

Obama wets himself over the prospect of spending 15 minutes with Chris Wallace, but we’re supposed to believe he has what it takes to stand up to the likes of Kim Jong-Il or Ahmadinejad or Putin. Riiiiight…..

As for Stephanopolous, who’s probably now on the official WH enemies list, I love this part of the exchange:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Merriam Webster’s Dictionary: Tax — “a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.”

OBAMA: George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now.

Yeah…how dare he actually look up the meaning of the word instead of obeying Duh-1!! That’s thiiiiis close to saying “You lie.”

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you reject that it’s a tax increase?

OBAMA: I absolutely reject that notion.

Feathers. Quacks. Waddles. Duck.

Obama is a classic example of why minorities with degrees are looked at as poor second cousins to people who really earned their degrees, also known as an affirmative action degree holder. He couldn’t cut it as a true student on merit, and he’s proving daily he can’t cut it as president.

And “Merriam’s Dictionary”? I could have sworn it was a Webster’s. Had GW said that the MSM would have scolded him mercilessly (after they quit rolling on the floor in fits of laughter).

BTW, I see where a major fundraiser for Hillarious and Duh-1 has been busted for running a Ponzi scheme for fundraising. Wonder if he modeled it on Social Security?

Thats funny, Barri was crowing, in 5 or 6 different speeches, about how much funding from Federal tax coffers, ACORN was receiving since his election as President. Was he lying then, or is he lying now?

His own words damn him….just like Van Jones, just like the myriad other tax cheats and radicals he employs as his czars, his point men/women on big issues that will affect the lives of every man, woman and child in the US and those yet to be born.

Yeah, ACORN is a big issue Prez! Yeah, you made note of how important they would be to your administrations. We have the video! And Yeah, we know your background, we understand the nature of who you are, your essence, your upbringing….you can’t hide from who you are and what you represent. People voted for change, they are now just seeing what kind of change you had in mind!

p.s. Does it seem that Stepahnopolous is developing a backbone…a little liberal evolution into a real thinking person, how refreshing!
