Chamber of Commerce Vows to ‘Ramp Up’ Political Activity

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.

Right now, I don’t really care about that. If the COC is going after Obama, that’s all that matters.

The C of C people thought they were in a simple political battle with the Illegal. Then he and his appartchicks went after them, proving it was a fight to the death. Now they've learned what the rest of us already knew: that they have nothing to lose by throwing everything into the fight they can, and that's what they're doing.

How do you defeat a bully? Punch him in the face.

I’d like to see more ridicule and laughter directed at the president. We can not really take this desperate man seriously any longer. He’s a joke.

Obama ticking off the Supreme Court during the State of the Union speech, $ 146.
Obama ticking off the military and his top men are leaving, $ 2579.
Obama ticking off the Chamber of Commerce, $ 5736,

Congress draws up articles of impeachment, Congressional hearings and investigations in his eligibility, and those who where involved in the greatest fraud brought on America sent to prison, and the Democrat Party and the MSM is damaged beyond repair............... PRICELESS !
