In early August Obama spoke in Austin, Texas saying Americans for Prosperity, an organization with a "harmless sounding name" might be a foreign-controlled corporation, Big Oil or a bank.

From this you might think Obama really does not know who AFP is or what they do, but no, he knows only too-well that this grassroots organization, funded by Libertarian David Koch, is on a mission to educate Americans about economic policy.

The New Yorker published an 11-page hit piece on David Koch, the CEO of Koch Industries and a high-profile philanthropist in New York City. Koch was honored at the American Ballet Theatre's 70th annual gala. According to The New Yorker, Michelle Obama was the event's "honorary co-chair." Michelle chose to stay home.

AFP released a video about Obama's attack on them and in a second video, Glenn Beck recounts the big money behind Barack Obama
