#1 Obama to George Stephanopoulos just 3 minutes ago:

Steph: How about that funding for ACORN?

Obama: Frankly, it's not something I've really followed closely. I didn't even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of Federal money.

Steph: But the Senate and the House have voted to cut it off.

Obama: Ya know, what I know is that what I saw on that video is certainly inappropriate.

Steph: So you're not committing to cut off Federal funding?

Obama: (Smirking) George, this is not the biggest issue facing the country. It's not something I'm paying a lot of attention to.

#2 President Obama worked as an attorney for the group in the 1990s.

He doesn't pay "alot of attention to"

Lie number 57,926,000 - No Smirking here - Just a long succession of "mis-information" - this guy has got millions of those Attention Deficit Syndrome lines

#3 Hype. The 'gravy train' is too big for them to just totally shut down. They'll probably just close their doors in a few places (to make it look good) and re-open across the street under a new name.

#4 They still won't want to pay minimum wage or let their employees join a union, though.

#7 I surprised ACORN didn't classify their regular employees as 'contractors'.

#8 Ohblahblahblah is NOT going to jettison the force that put him in office, and the force he's expeecting to do it again in 4 years.

They'll just change names and seem to vanish, but NOT really disband, Bambi needs them to stack the votes again (at least once more)
THEN he'll dump them like a hot rock. And pretend they were'nt "His" folks

#9 Snuffle: Surely, since you aware enough of current events to make a comment concerning Kanye's behavior, you know something about about the organization you have been working with throughout your professional career?

Obama (d-new level of transparency): 1, 2, 3, 4...fifth!

#10 If you like comedy go to DU and read the comments on the story. It's like the paleos trying to explain why they have to lob missiles at Israel.

#11 "I surprised ACORN didn't classify their regular employees as 'contractors'."

No doubt they tried, Pappy - but the eviillll IRS under BushHitler actually enforced the requirements for an employee to be considered a contractor. And it's doubtful ACORN's employees would qualify. Maybe they'll get more favorable treatment from Bambi's IRS.
