ABC had some questions on the rather dramatic ACORN scandals, which have been brewing for a very long time among these shake-down artists:

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.

Roger Simon has some pointed commentary on the exchange. For our part, we noted last year the close association of the President and ACORN, including his praise for ACORN, his legal representation of the group, his campaign’s paying the group, etc. Ho hum.
