The good news for President Obama: The Chamber of Commerce broke into applause twice during his speech Monday morning to welcome his ideas.
The bad news: They clapped just twice, in a 35-minute address.
Obama himself acknowledged early on that he doesn’t have the best relationship with the Chamber. (“Maybe if we had brought over a fruit cake when we first moved in, we would have got off to a better start,” he joked.)
The first applause line came halfway through Obama’s remarks, as he spoke of opening up new markets and selling more American goods in other countries.
“I’ll go anywhere to be a booster for American businesses, American workers and American products,” Obama said, to which the audience broke into applause. Then, in an ad-libbed moment, Obama remarked, “And I don’t charge a commission.”

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Obama addressing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce must have been as awkward an uncomfortable as when Republican presidents address the NAACP convention.
Obama is so incompetent that he is unaware that he has been insulted.
Commission of what? People? Ideas?
He charges all kinds of commissions. All over creation.
And we pay the tab.
Are we having fun yet?
What's the joke? It's all true. 0h0m0 is a fruit cake.
You can’t live what you don’t believe. Obama has no understanding of what a business is or how to start one or run it. He has been mentored to hate capitalism and to hate America. Lets face it, the people who indoctrinated this pos didn’t do it reading to him from Adam Smith. They read to him from Das Kapital.
The whole world is laughing at Obama. He should be apologizing to the country instead of for the country.
Pay me $400,000 a year and I won’t charge a commission either . . .
Gee--looks like HUSSEIN's script writers have been following Florida governor Rick Scott...almost his entire campaign was based on calling/going/entreating businesses and countries to do business in Florida.
Hussein is such a frickin' joke.
Florida news ping, only because Hussein is copying Rick Scott.
