Chamber: White House attacks are backfiring

U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue says a campaign by the White House and its allies to undermine his $200-million-a-year association has largely failed — and actually has helped raise even more money for its pro-business efforts.

In a 75-minute interview with POLITICO, Donohue dismissed recent defections by Apple and at least four other companies, which quit over the Chamber’s opposition to Democratic climate change legislation — as essentially meaningless. “Members come and go all the damn time,” he said.

I saw this guy on one of the Fox news shows on Sunday. Sensible and articulate. He'd be a better president than the Obozo, but, then, who wouldn't?

“Members come and go all the damn time,” he said.

Sounds like the same guy that said, “The firings
will continue until the moral improves.”

or

The other classic, “Their quiting faster than we can fire them.”
