Hilarious: Obama Is Desperately Trying to Stick an Ostrich Head in the Sand about ACORN Fed Funding
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 20, 2009
Question: How many ostriches does it take to ignore the exploding ACORN scandal and all the freebie money going to ACORN from taxpayers?
Answer: To date, there are three specific ostriches (and many more unspecific ones in the Fringe Media): Charlie Gibson, Nancy Pelosi, and now, Barack Obama.
Too deliciously hilarious… White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs spoke out against ACORN to the press late last week, the House and Senate have both voted to get ACORN out of the taxpayers’ cookie jar, there have been media reports that the White House is distancing itself from ACORN… but Obama honestly thinks everyone will believe he’s unaware that ACORN has been receiving federal money and was slotted for BILLIONS in Obama’s carefully reviewed “line by line” stimulus/porkulus bill? Is the “Obama sheeple” dummy sign on crooked?
However, to be fair to our POTUS, Obama IS aware of much more important, more pressing issues… like Kanye West is a jackass for his rude behavior at the MTV VMA’s.
Hilarious.
To see the video interview, go to ABC News.
Transcript from Michelle Malkin: Obama plays dumb on ACORN:
STEPHANOPOULOS: But have your — have some of your allies made it easier for — handed your opponents some ammunition, like ACORN, for example…
OBAMA: Well, look, the — you know, I think that — are there folks in the Democratic camp or on the left who haven’t — haven’t always operated in ways that I’d appreciate? Absolutely.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Congress said they should cut off all funding for ACORN.
OBAMA: Is — is — is…
STEPHANOPOULOS: … all funding for ACORN. Are you for that?
OBAMA: Is that true on the other side, as well? Of course that’s true.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How about the funding for ACORN?
OBAMA: You know, it’s — frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely. I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Both the Senate and the House have voted to cut it off.
OBAMA: You know, what I know is, is that what I saw on that video was certainly inappropriate and deserves to be investigated.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you’re not committing to — to cut off the federal funding?
OBAMA: George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It’s not something I’m paying a lot of attention to.
To quote Malkin, “It strains credulity — no, it snaps credulity in half — to believe Obama “didn’t even know” that ACORN was “getting a whole lot of federal money” given his extensive legal services on behalf of the group and training for its voter education arm, Project Vote…”
Barack, Nancy tried this “clueless ostrich” approach a few days ago. It didn’t work for her, either.
