Axelrod to US Chamber: What Are You Hiding That You Don’t Want the American People to See?
ABC News ^ | 10/11/2010 | Jack Tapper

Posted on 10/13/2010 11:23:14 AM PDT by mojito

TAPPER: But what do you say to people who argue you are demonizing an organization for a charge that nobody knows if it's true or not?

AXELROD: Well I’m not demonizing the Chamber of Commerce. I’m simply suggesting to them that they disclose the source of the $75 million that they are spending in campaigns and put to rest, put to rest the questions that have been, that have been raised.

TAPPER: Isn't that like the whackjobs that tell the president he needs to show them his full long-form birth certificate so he can put to rest the questions that have been raised?

AXELROD: The president’s birth certificate has been available to people.

TAPPER: The long form?

AXELROD: Someone once in the course of this debate about whether we should have a law to force these organizations to disclose where they’re money is coming from in the campaigns, someone said, and I think they’re right – “the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide.” If the Chamber doesn’t have anything to hide about these contributions, and I take them at their word that they don’t, then why not disclose? Why not let people see where their money is coming from?

Oh, that title is FUNNY. Especially given that they won’t release the birth certificate.

What ever happened to the huge DNC ad buy to push this meme?

Cuz I’d say the Chamber would have a great defamation lawsuit if they actually did that. Bankrupt the DNC hopefully.

The media could do a great half hour show on this.

Show an actual long-form birth certificate, then show the COLB and compare. Ask an Obama supporter (Axelrod?) why we can't see the long-form.
Talk about thr passport, the CT social security number, the college records.
Talk about the law licenses for Barack and Michelle (where'd they go?)

This would be solid entertainment. Pulitzer prize material. But it won't happen.

“Hey Needlerod. The Chamber of Commerce IS the American people.”

We need to face a few glaring facts. BOTH sides of the isle get foreign money. So Axelrod/Obama is playing the ‘blame them first’ game. What’s really ironic about this is the White house NEEDS the Chamber to pass amnesty and more ‘guest worker’ provisions.

Actually, the Chamber and other so called ‘conservative groups’ are NOT pro American people. They are all in the game for THEMSELVES.

Will the ‘Ruling Class Right’ Rescue Vulnerable Dems?

You know it's bad for them when Obama’s #1 enemy is the Chamber of Commerce!!
Just think of threats in the world, foreclosures here at home, other dire economic news, terrorism; and Obama decides the real enemy is the Chamber of Commerce!

Very funny!

I can just see Jay Leno's take on it, it might go something like this:

“The Obama administration was busy this week after a new threat to the nation was discovered. They have been working day and night to analyze this new threat. etc etc...”

“...are NOT pro American people.”

###

I’m not sure what this phrase means. Citizens of America all have different motivations, needs and desires. It is impossible to be “pro” everyone in America.

The local C of C members I know are honest, law-abiding, small businessmen who just want the government to get out of their way, so that they can make a fair and decent living for their families and their employees.

“the only people who want to keep things secret are folks who have something to hide.”

OK, Axlegrease... let's see what you all have been hiding about:

1. Obama's early schooling

2. Obama's college records

3. Obama's connections with Jeremiah Wright

4. Obama's connections with William Ayers

5. Obama's connections to George Soros

6. The $20M+ donations for Obama that rolled in from overseas during the 2008 campaign

7. All the documents pertaining to the DOJ's refusal to prosecute the New Black Panthers' voter intimidation attempt in 2008.

8. All the documents pertaining to Administration actions leading up to, during and after the Gulf Oil Spill.

And those are just for starters.

Until you provide every shred of THOSE documents... do us all a favor and STFU.

Not Pulitzer. That’s only for Journalism that hurts Conservatives.

But there are lots of other awards that would be available for anyone who uncovers the true story of Obama’s origins and early years.

Hey Axelrod,

When did you stop beating your wife?

I find it humorous that this charge is coming from an administration that actually held a campaign rally in Germany.

“Why not let people see where their money is coming from?”

Does that go for Obama concerning his fund raising during his campaign? I think the numbers were around $400 Million.

Obama was taking money from a foreign company by the name of British Petroleum.

Headline:Obama biggest recipient of BP cash

“During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years, according to financial disclosure records.”

What Irony! The democrats LOVE foreigners. Obama held a campaign event in Germany. He ordered his Justice Department to ally itself with the corrupt Latin American regimes attacking the government and people of ARIZONA. The president has abased himself and our country to just about foreign dictator he has met, bowing to the Saudis, grovelling before the likes of Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chaves. And is the not the democrats’principal bagman the America-hating foreign billionaire Soros? What a joke.

All the Chamber has to do is conduct an internal investigation by one of their members that can release a report stating there was nothing to the complaint. Isn’t that what Obamba did when looking into communications with Blogovich?

Thanks mojito. It's almost as if the Chamber of Commerce wants to protect the privacy of its donors, which is prudent (and legal) considering Obama's illegal harassment and smearing of the Koch Brothers.
