The Obama administration and its allies are going all out against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and GOP-leaning groups, accusing them of using foreign money to help finance political ads. Trouble is, they're providing no evidence....On Monday, the liberal group MoveOn.org began airing an ad in Illinois against Senate candidate Mark Kirk using his support from the chamber to link him to foreign corporations that, in the ad's words, "threaten American jobs."

What about the Obama Campaign's unverified internet credit card donations in very odd amounts that suggested even amounts in foreign currency?

Proof is beside the point if your name is Obama

[opentalk]

Whats interesting this time is the MSM is not playing along.

[circlecity]

Is the whole foreign money “controversy” just an attempt by Obama to innoculate himself from his planned future use of billions in foreign money? Is he setting up a “they do it too” defense?

Hey Dems! George Soros is a foreigner.

[opentalk]

They really are crazy for going down this road.

[WAW]

This is a game of chicken they will surely lose.

$97,000 contribution from BP to Obama...and BP is a fer’ner.

A pretty good rule is If the Democrats Accuse the Republicans of something it's a good bet that the DemoRATS are doing the uncivil, vile possibly and most likely illegal act.
