Politics: President Obama has doubled down in his attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, continuing to call its ads foreign-funded. His charges are false and he knows it. If this isn't beneath his office, what is?
One needs to look hard to find any head of a major democracy as openly at war with his country's Chamber of Commerce as Obama is. His charge that the Chamber's $75 million ad campaign ahead of elections is funded by foreign sources is both false and an unprecedented smear, an accusation of a crime.
It's deeply disappointing coming from a country's elected leader.
Neither Europe's socialists nor Asia's combative leadership fight their chambers like this. Chambers of commerce, including the U.S. branch, generally seek pragmatic accommodation with those in power. Obama's attack on the Chamber is sadly reminiscent of the scorched-earth relations Venezuela's self-declared communist leader Hugo Chavez has with his country's business groups — and he makes no secret of wanting to destroy them.
Shockingly, a similarly antagonistic situation now exists in the U.S., center of world capitalism.
Based on a blog post from the Center for American Progress, Obama now calls the Chamber's ad campaign in defense of free markets not protected speech but "a threat to democracy." His embattled party still repeats the scurrilous claim that the Chamber's ads are foreign-funded because it receives a small amount ($100,000) of dues from overseas companies. But nearly all of these businesses are based in the U.S., and their dues are separated from ad funds. The White House knows this — or at least, should.
As the media, including the New York Times, gave this a good debunking, Obama refrained from continuing his charges Monday.

What do you expect from a communist?
Only this one might be the one to bring him down.
We can only pray that something will, if we are to have a country left by the time he's out of office....

Anybody who had paid attention to the part of his past you could get to could have predicted this behavior. It is all he knows. His willingness to use threats, intimidation and his race as a billy club explains how he was able to get where he is without having any significant accomplishments.
He is a chump/chimp.
“Pal, I’m going to make an offer you can’t refuse.”
I think Dinesh D’Sousa has described Obama most accurately: he’s anti-colonial.
He hates Europe and the U.S. because he perceives us as imperialist oppressors of the world’s “people of color.” His socialism is merely a means to his ultimate goal, which is to humble us and destroy our culture, making Europe and the U.S. into statist, powerless, government-dependent, low-prosperity entities equivalent to the third world.
He's not just at war with the Chamber of Commerce; he's at war with pretty-much the entire country.
The hateful bastard is not one of us.
What is the other hand doing right now?

No, his Enemies List is “Western Civilization”.

Of course - this Obama creep needs impeachment and imprisonment.
It’s time to start prosecuting the corruptocrats—JAIL TIME boys!!...and girls!
Chambers of Commerce are the mainstay of small communities across the country. Attacking the Chamber is attacking Americans. It’s almost mind boggling that a sitting President would attack this organization dedicated to helping businesses grow and Americans prosper. Obama is surely trying to destroy our country.
I agree - The Chamber of Commerce does have a lot to answer for with its support of open borders, however.
