Obama says Acorn is not a major national issues so he really has not paid much attention to them,with Obama so busy with matters like the arrest of profession Gates I know he is busy with the bigger fish.
Obama said in a Sunday interview he has paid so little attention to ACORN he really did not know ACORN was getting federal money.
Do you think ACORN is a big thing for the president to be paying attention to being he said he would take a red pen and go line by line and cut out the pork and the fraud or dose ACORN fit into the little fish category?

(BARACK OBAMA'S SUNDAY T.V.MARATHON AND ACORN)

Obama told ABC's "This Week" in an interview broadcast Sunday that what he saw on the video "was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated." But the president did not say who should investigate. And he said it is not a major national issue he pays much attention to.

"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."

Asked about the president calling for an investigation, ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis said Sunday, "Well, that's his opinion."

ACORN said last week it would order its own investigation of the video scandal. Lewis, who had promised to name an independent auditor by Friday, told "Fox News Sunday" that the announcement would take place Monday. She would not reveal the auditor.

Later Sunday, Lewis issued a statement saying, "We agree with President Obama's comments today that issues raised by the videos need to be investigated."

In the meantime, the group has suspended the admission of new clients to its housing program.

He wasn't aware that ACORN ere getting federal money - well weren't they due to get a MASSIVE amount of the stimulus that HE brought in, weren't they to get paid federal money to do census, were did all the money come from for them to register illegal voters. This man becomes more of a farce as each day goes by and he opens his mouth. MR. OBAMA - resign NOW please.

If the article was quoted properly than you should reread it because he said he wasn't aware that ACORN was getting that much federal money. And according to csmonitor.com ACORN has gotten 53 million from the feds since 1994, that is not a lot of money.

I have known how much money they have received in federal funding for quite some time now. It's all over the news. Is it really a good excuse for a president to say that he is uninformed? Does it build confidence when he knows less about an issue involving federal funds than the average American does?

He said he wasn't aware that they were getting that much federal funding. Now, we are talking about 53 million, yeah it sounds like a lot but, it really isn't when you look at the nations budget.
