The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce vowed Tuesday to “ramp up” his group’s political activity in the face of what he called a “smear campaign” by the White House aimed at stemming Democratic losses in the midterm elections.
In a letter sent Tuesday to the chamber’s board of directors and its member companies, Thomas J. Donohue, the business association’s president, accused President Obama and his allies of falsely accusing the chamber of illegally funneling foreign money to its political efforts.

Once again the Illegal shows his great political insight and human relations brilliance by provoking even larger expenditurs aimed to stop him. Let's hope his SOTU callout of the SCOTUS justices who voted in the majority in Citizens United will similarly provoke those five to overturn ObamaCare. Along with being an evil communist and secret Mudslime who bitterly hates America and Americans, he's just plain dumb.

Heh. Think the Chamber of Commerce mailing list, combined with unlimited contribution limits, combined with an insult to the organization itself might get some cash for the battle!? I hope Obama made a big mistake here.
He could get June Cleaver out of the kitchen and campaigning against him.
To: Red Badger
He wasn’t satisfied with awakening “We the People”.
Now he’s gonna get everyone rising up against him.

Good LORD...someone with actual GUTS!!! Obviously the guy could NOT be a typical republican politician, as he is not assuming the standard party posture of bending over, grabbing the ankles and selling out the nation.

While the Chamber of Commerce did oppose Obamacare I seem to remember they do support amnesty for the illegals so I don’t count on them to be a real ally for conservative causes.... only what seems to benefit business in general.
