I was half listening to the President Obama’s 3rd State of the Union speech, er…my bad, his 1st State of the Union when I heard something I couldn’t believe he had the nerve to say:
I like to focus on these phrases in the speech.
“I believe will open the floodgates for special interests…
“…including foreign corporations. I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities.
Notice Obama’s use of the phrases “foreign corporations, and “foreign interests”.
Before I get to my main points, lets quickly dispose of Obama’s fears about the influence of foreign money in presidential campaigns.
Legal experts believe that Obama assertion that outside of the U.S. funds can have an disproportionate impact on our democracy is a wild over exaggeration and has no basis in law.
Uh, I thought Obama was constitutional law expert?
Oh well, so much for that.
Last night and this morning, when I looked at the news services and other blogs, all the focus was on Justice Alito having a Joe Wilson moment when Obama uttered his gripe that’s seen in the above video.
EVERBODY IS NISSING THE BIGGER POINT!
The reason I could’ve believe that Obama had the nerve to mention anything about foreign money in a presidential campaigns is because he benefited from googobs of foreign money in his 2008 run for the White House, and the Step-N-Fetch-It media covered it up.
Pam Geller, Editor and Publisher of Atlas Shrugs wrote an excellent expose on the matter.
Here are some excerpts:
“Despite dropping the groundbreaking bombshell story of "Palestinian" brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama's campaign, no big media picked up the story”
“Foreign donations are illegal, but this story was all that and so much more. The "Palestinian" brothers were proud and vocal of their "love" for Obama. Their vocal support on behalf of "Palestinians" spoke volumes to Obama's campaign.
And yet still no media.”
And here’s the kicker:
“Obama's overseas (foreign) contributors are making multiple small donations, ostensibly in their own names, over a period of a few days, some under maximum donation allowances, but others are aggregating in excess of the maximums when all added up.
The countries and major cities from which contributions have been received France, Virgin Islands, Planegg, Vienna, Hague, Madrid, London, AE, IR, Geneva,Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Netherlands, Moscow, Ireland, Milan, Singapore, Bejing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, La Creche, Pak Chong, Dublin, Panama, Krabi, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbia, Nagoya, Tunis, Zacatecas, St, Croix, Mississauga, Laval, Nadi, Behchoko, Ragusa, DUBIA, Lima, Copenhagen, Quaama, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, Nassau(not the county on Long Island,lol), Luxembourg (Auchi's stomping grounds), etc,etc,etc,”
Is anybody going to give this story any legs besides little ol’ me?
Either Barack Obama is absent-mined, or arrogant enough to know that this wrinkle of his SOTU speech won’t get much play in the ass-kissing media.
