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."

He certainly has a way with words. It is really getting hard to understand what he is talking about.
Take a flying leap, you FRIGGIN' COMMIE!!!!!!!!!
Please, Dear God, spare us from this type of thinking in our halls of government. Allow a new day to begin come November and January--stop the forces of tyranny and bring liberty to this land again! Change men's hearts and turn them to you and your Word!
corporate influence in government: BAD
government control of corporations: GOOD
I think he’s making a preemptive blow against the (hopefully upcoming) Republican charges of a communist take-over of the United States led by Obama.
A) This is a republic, not a democracy.
B) There's a takeover underway but not by corporations. The whole system is being usurped by the ruling class. Politicians serve their parties now. That's why these wildly unpopular agenda items keep getting rammed through. The Dems know the majority of people don't want ObamaCare. They know they will lose in November. But that doesn't matter because the DNC has enough cash and infrastructure,(either directly or through lobbies and NGOs to employ politicians who lose their seats. Guys like Bart Stupak don't stop working. They just pop back up in another part of the machine. An election cycle or two really isn't a big deal for them. And the weed always grows back bigger
Liberal lie but Obama is out-of-control and certifiably insane.
Transparency means INVISIBLE , not “fully in view” as implied by the deceptive phrase
This guy Obama is a certified nut-job.
wrong:
this WAS a representative republic,
now it is an AUTOCRACY
I wonder if he knows how Socialistic he sounds or that this kind of speech only appeals to the left?
“
Obama slams ‘corporate takeover of our democracy’
“
Well, I guess I didn’t get the memo.
That only the Federal and state governments are the producers of wealth
in the USA.
EXCUSE....ME...!!!!
(/sarc)
His regime is an advocate of the Socialist+ Labor Union takeover of “our” democracy.
Should this aberration of America prevail America will no longer functions as a free democracy at the logical end of his Marxist beliefs.
He talks about “democracy” while at the same time pressing to establish a Socialist regime that allows no room for it to remain at all once his party has total authority and control.
His ideological version of democracy is one where the citizens are slaves to their government masters.
Of course he, his family, and Party elite will live opulent lives of luxury while all of us live a hellish life of malaise and mediocrity.
But 0’b will continue to withhold his birth cert., spending million$ if necessary to do so.
Hey Kenyan,
Why don’t you stick to doing what you do best:
1) Throwing baseballs like a girl (No offense to girls!)
2) Eating ice cream and snow cones
3) Staying on a perpetual vacation
4) Looking like a queer
5) Attending the WH Concert series
6) Saying: “Let me be clear” and “Plug the damn hole!”
7) Generally looking ridiculous and not even knowing it.
How does it feel to have three quarters of Americans looking at you like the complete dumb A$$ that you are. You’re probably too stupid to know we’re in the process of pulling an Alinsky on you ;-)
Just sayin’

That's right, the idiots are actually forming an an organization to lobby for new laws which will stop organizations from lobbying for new laws.
And apparently a half-million people are utterly and completely blind to the hypocrisy and irony.
For bonus points, scroll down to look at the litany of leftists organizations behind this.
OMG—why won’t he just shut-up already?
