Kind of hard to tell the difference sometimes:
“The long-simmering feud between Democrats and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has erupted into a full-scale war…
“‘Just this week, we learned that one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations,’ Obama said at a Thursday rally for Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. ‘So groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections, and they won’t tell you where the money for their ads comes from.’
“R. Bruce Josten, the chamber’s executive vice president for government affairs, said in an interview Friday that the group ‘has never and will never’ use dues collected from overseas business councils, known as ‘AmChams,’ for U.S. political activities. He said the chamber is the victim of ‘a smear campaign’ orchestrated with the involvement of the White House.
…
“But a closer examination shows that there is little evidence that what the chamber does in collecting overseas dues is improper or even unusual, according to both liberal and conservative election-law lawyers and campaign finance documents…
…
“Obama’s ‘foreign money’ claims are bogus. They’re also pretty rich, considering how his 2008 campaign handled foreign credit cards. From that National Journal story: ‘The lack of a computerized address-verification system would allow the Obama campaign’s computers to accept online donations from U.S. citizens above legal limits, and to accept donations from foreigners who are barred by law from contributing at all.’ Perhaps its time to remind people of that issue again. Oh, wait, I just did!”
Not to mention illegal contributions from illegal aliens like his Auntie Zeituni, which are—you guessed it—illegal.
Obama told us it was time for “hand-to-hand combat”. (I suppose choke holds are one way of bringing us together.) You think his pinkie-ringed union thugs didn’t get the hint?
Maybe this will remind them:
The more I think about it, the less I think Obama has any interest in being another one-term failure like Jimmy Carter. He won’t even build a decent house for his half-brother (though his Auntie doing all right in public housing), so I don’t see him spending his retirement building houses for the underprivileged.
No, talk of hand-to-hand combat and a**-kicking, smearing opponents, outright lies and slanders, demonization—if he’s going down, he’s taking the rest of us with him.
Maybe the stoners who put him over the top in ’08 have forsaken the ballot box for the bong, but the socialist/labor front is still there, cracking their knuckles. Just awaiting their orders.
