After steadily bashing greedy Wall Street firms, evil insurance companies, polluting energy firms, and profligate auto executives, President Obama on Thursday blasted a Supreme Court ruling that empowers those same companies to fight back against his big-government agenda.

Obama said a Supreme Court ruling that McCain-Feingold campaign-finance restrictions are unconstitutional will lead to a "stampede of special interest money in our politics."

The president added: "It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies, and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans."

The Kenyan Usurper just does not understand freedom and LIBERTY.

True liberty means allowing those with natural, real-world advantages to leverage those advantages in the realm of politics and government.

People at the top are there for a reason. Maybe they are more productive, maybe they are smarter, maybe they were born to the right parents, or simply chosen to be one of God’s elect. Whatever the reason, those at the top generally deserve to be where they are.

No society that values its survival and prosperity seeks to stifle its best people in order to empower the mediocre masses — or worse, its degenerates and losers.

The companies are STILL at a disadvantage because they have to PAY to have their say while the government-sucking media parrots Obama's lies as if it were an honor to print such holy writ, and he's STILL mad. Oxygen thief.

Don’t forget bribing and cheating. Two big time tested and true ways to get to the top.

All I need to know about this decision is that it upsets Obama. Therefore, it was a decision on the side of freedom.

Oxygen thief.

I almost spit juice all over my new keyboard.

So he stomps his feet and starts a temper tantrum- my goodness, he does not any one but him to control our assets.

So, obama doesn’t like the Court upholding freedom of speech? Perhaps it is time for the SC to take a look a one of those BC cases.

It is true that some people get to the top by exercising what philosophers call the "will to power." The fact that some people refuse to give in to altruism and slave mentality is not a bad thing. We should respect powerful people who are not afraid to pursue their on happiness on their own terms.

I don’t recall any other Presidents producing a canned video to nitpick the Supreme Court. Barry appears to believe that moving the opinion of the Supremes can be done by campaigning against them. Barry is going so far off the deep end it’s comical.

[Candor7]

Obama is making a royal ass of himself by showing the nation he denegrates free speech!

IMHO Obama is an effin fascist!

Only unions shoould be able to publish during a campaign!LOL.

Eff Obama. He is history!

Obummer (Hitler) always wants to change the game to his ego and what best suits him and his rat friends. He was the one who the money flowed for the last time when UNIDENTIFIED CONTRIBUTIONS came in from all over the world. Does anybody remember the Edwan Brothers of Gaza?

I don’t recall any other Presidents producing a canned video to nitpick the Supreme Court...Barry is going so far off the deep end it’s comical.

He's got ten jillion things on his plate. So, he decides to rail against the one thing he can't do anything about.

This is not a smart man.

“Obama”

Obama or more likely Soros and his Acorn minions including Obama. Obama is running scared George may take his billions and fund another Commie.

[crazyshrink]

Sounds like Obama is just agreeing with his pastor:

All the lying liberals have for the elections this fall is envy and hatred. This may work for Imams whipping up suicide bombers but it really is so last century.

Sheesh, you try to sell some communism and you end up having to compete with all the other communists in a free market! What's this country coming to anyway?

[Noob1999]

Well, it sounds to me that Andy Stern’s SEIU union will just have to raise union dues, so he can suck more of his members paychecks into the RAT Black Hole, without their say as to where their money is invested for their future!

[ak267]

Whats the matter Obambi...don’t like the idea that businesses (who’ve had a bullseye since you took office) can now start fighting back?

[Allegra]

The president added: "It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies, and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out overcome the voices of everyday Americans. socialists."

Obingo sure does a lot of "bashing" and "blasting" for such a limp-wristed fella.

[genghis]

the guy is on total tilt.
His rasmussen =- ratings have declined about 1 point a week for 9 months, with the economy in the toilet and his advisors on crack it is only going to get worse.
