Here’s the FULL exchange courtesy of ABC news:
STEPHANOPOULOS: How about the funding for ACORN?
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.
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.
PIN note: While discussing this issue with Hannity on 09-22-09, Dick Morris had an interesting observation. In 2008, ACORN owed the IRS aprroximately $800,000.oo. Guess how much money Obama paid to ACORN to campaign for him? That’s right, $800,000!
Nonetheless, the last statement says it all. He may not have wanted to talk about ACORN with Stephanopoulos, but he did not have a problem talking about the potato with David Letterman.
