Washington (CNN) - President Obama used his weekly internet and radio address to once again call for passage of legislation regarding political advertising.
"[W]e cannot allow the corporate takeover of our democracy," Obama says in the address. "So were going to continue to fight for reform and transparency. And I urge all of you to take up the same fight. Lets challenge every elected official who benefits from these ads to defend this practice or join us in stopping it."

Obama, the Butt-boy of Goldman Sach’s and Wall Street, who told Rich Bankers in 2008 that his Anti-Corporate rhetoric “was just Rhetoric”, who sold out Obamacare to the Healthcare Insurance Co. lobby in August of 2009, used his radio address today to copmplain about Corporate money in Politics!!!
But HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from Unions?
Hundreds of millions of dollars from issues groups like MoveOn, or Filthy-Rich foundations like Tides?
He didn’t mention that!!!
Obama out raised Mccain by two to one. Its pretty clear which side the rich back, Obama
I’m surprised that Barry had time to read the David Axelrod prepared teleprompter text this week as he seems to be working full time on his golf game from all accounts that I’ve seen.
The man is a sicko!
I seem to recall that he decided against taking public money in his run for President in 2008. Where did your funds come from, Resident Obama?
This is all about getting his left-wing base base back...thus the "anti-corporate" attack.
Everything between now and November will be efforts to get the lefties to pull the lever.
No more bailouts. Allow the free market to determine which companies survive.
Blame the opposition for what you are doing.
Government Takeovers of Corporations:
1) Automobiles
2) Banks
3) Other Financial Institutions
4) Oil Companies (BP Extortion)
5) Healtcare
6) Your Industry Next
WTF is this dumba$$ talking about?
Which came first, the bribe or the corrupt-political class.
Or is it a matter of selling of the citizenrys property for personal power; its called embezzlement, grand-theft politico and racketeering
The man’s a Marxist. Labor unions and various pressure groups lobby all the time, but corporations shouldn’t be allowed to? The man’s a Marxist.
0bama, we are not a democracy; we are Representative, Constitutional Republic...
Our rights and liberties are being destroyed by a progressive socialist BIG government, led by you!
Let’s challenge every elected Democrat as to who’s spending money on THEIR campaigns.
The notion that corporations can’t endorse candidates is anti-democratic rubbish.
Don’t blame Obama. He’s only reading what’s on the teleprompter.
According to Democrats, every corporation is evil. We’ve had evil banks, evil insurance companies, evil pharmaceutical companies. Strange how every corporation is evil, isn’t it?
So we should only be allowed to view ads run by mealy-mouthed left-leaning pressure groups?
“transparency”
I’ll be glad when this buzz word expires.
The only thing transparent about the Kenyan Impostor is that he is a phony.
'Nuff said, and very well.
“Is anyone still listening to this guy?”
Yes, those who believe he means it and do not see he is the “corporate” puppet himself. It gives them the opprotunity to rant about unions and on and on.
How about the Ci-cago takeover of our Republic?
