President Obama led Democrats in a coordinated attack against the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Thursday, painting the business lobby as a corporate interest standing against open elections and U.S. workers.
Obama criticized the Chamber for opposing campaign finance reform legislation that would require corporations and unions to disclose the names of those making donations for political ads. He did so as the Associated Press reported the Chamber is airing $10 million in ads this week, most of which attack Democrats and their policies.
The attack by Obama follows a report by the liberal blog ThinkProgress suggesting the Chamber impermissibly accepted and spent foreign donations to support its political activities, an illegal practice which the Chamber has vehemently denied. It’s the latest in a series of skirmishes between Democrats and the Chamber, which have feuded repeatedly over the years.

They are the villians. Every major company in the U. S. has been outsourced to other countries. Elections are just around the corner. Money is being spent on numerous negative campaigning against the Democrates. Were is all this money coming from for advertisement? Just remember, our econmy is extremely bad. The Republicans, lobbyist, tea parties and rich people have sold us out. We don't need a smaller government. We just need to hold all of them accountable for their decision, behavior and performance. Right now, I give them a "F".
1:01 -And the democrats have done a really fine job during their control of congress for the last four years. Is that your platform? Get your head out of the sand and look around.
