President Obama Suddenly Concerned About Foreign Influence?

By John W. Lillpop

In his non-stop assault on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Obama is breaking new ground in terms of blistering hypocrisy and truth avoidance.

As reported, in part, by the Latimes.com:

Some Democrats on Capitol Hill worry that the White House is going too far in charging that the politically powerful business lobby may be using foreign money to fuel its election efforts. The charge ignites strong feelings among job-hungry voters. But Democrats are concerned that it may be overstated and could harm moderate Democrats in swing districts.

The Chamber of Commerce is on track to spend $75 million in this election cycle, mostly to benefit Republican candidates. Officials of the organization, while refusing to provide internal accounting details, have said that no foreign money is used in its political activities.

The chamber also backs some Democratic candidates for congressional seats, and its local affiliates generally enjoy positive reputations across the country.

On Thursday, Obama said at a rally that "one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations."

"So groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections," he said.

The White House has acknowledged that there is no specific evidence that foreign organizations have funded ads backed by the chamber.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that the president was emphasizing disclosure so Americans could be sure who was funding the campaign. He added that the White House had not "suggested any illegality" in the chamber's activities.


There you go: No specific evidence and no illegality.

Just more smoke and mirrors from the Champion of Bull and Braggadocio, the one and (God (Help Us!) only Barack Hussein Obama.

Still, it is pretty amazing that this failed president would cry FOUL about foreign influence given his legacy.

Remember, it is Barack Obama who:

( )Joined forces with the foreign nation of Mexico and other Latin nations in attacking the sovereign state of Arizona for defending its citizens against foreign invaders;

( )Refused to enforce U.S. borders and immigration laws pertaining to foreign invaders, including voter fraud perpetuated by illegal aliens who vote in U.S. elections;

( )Denied that American exceptionalism exists or that American Democracy and capitalism are the key ingredients in the astounding success of America or that America is better than any foreign nation.

All of which is yet another example of why President Obama must be made as lame as possible for the remainder of his term.

It is up to we the people to take away Obama’s rubber stamp in the U.S. Congress in order to cripple his Marxist presidency.

Vote Republican on November 2.
