October 20, 2009: Obama Targets Chamber Of Commerce
According to Wikipedia, America has a capitalist mixed economy, which is defined as, an economic system that includes a variety of public and government control, or a mixture of capitalism and socialism."
The capitalist portion of that economy has a new enemy.
His name is Barack Hussein Obama. Mmm... Mmm... Mm...
In mathematic terms, this strategy can be expressed as:The uneasy relationship between the Obama White House and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has steadily eroded over the past several months, with the business group's opposition to health care and climate change legislation triggering an all-fronts backlash from the administration.
The administration is now trying to neutralize the Chamber by doing an end-run around the group and dealing directly with its members.
During remarks in early October, President Obama named and shamed the Chamber for opposing a consumer protection agency.
At one White House event, Obama called out the group as he delivered remarks urging Congress to create a new consumer protection agency, describing Chamber ads on the topic as "completely false."
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is spending millions on an ad campaign to kill it," Obama said. "They're trying their hardest to weaken it. ... And they're very good at this, because that's how business has been done in Washington for a very long time. In fact, over the last 10 years, the Chamber of Commerce alone spent nearly half a billion dollars on lobbying -- half a billion dollars."
