The U.S. Chamber of Commerce accused President Barack Obama on Saturday of giving misleading remarks in his latest radio address about possible illegal foreign involvement in the 2010 midterm elections. In his weekly speech, Obama reiterated his oft-repeated criticisms of the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling, saying the high court's early 2010 decision to throw out most bans on corporate and union broadcast advertising buys "overturned decades of law and precedent" and "gave the special interests the power to spend without limit -- and without public disclosure -- to run ads in order to influence elections."

Jimmah Cahtah’s been bought and paid for by the Saudis for decades. Filter every damned thing he says through the thought process of the Arab.

Does Obama think we are naive enough to think that the repercussions of that decision only affected money going to the republicans?
