Anti-American BS------Mr. Obama doesn't understand the history of this nation. America was built by freedom seekers who invested and founded formal or informal groups of people to accomplish a purpose. Investors and citizens came together in England to form The Virginia Company of Plymouth, England. They developed a charter and invested money in ships and supplies to establish the Colonies of America------in Virginia , Jamestown and Williamsburg. People funded by investors----- came to Virginia as investors, as indentured servants with a common purpose to build this great nation. We have a proud and long history of forming corporations. What is so humorous about Mr. obama's comments is that he is criticizing Americans for the same thing that the Democrat Party has done for decades, including during his campaign. Who were Daily Kos , Move.org and Emily's List funded by--------all a part of Mr. Obama's Campaign------they certainly did not support John McCain--------------Republicans needed not apply as they were the targets of these organizaations. Who were they? Unless one dug deeply into the papers and internet-------it took time to understand that these well-funded organizations were working to influence the 2008 elections. Mr. Obama took control of the automobile industry-----now he wants to silence other corporations. Shame on Mr. Obama. --------------------------------------------------------- From Obama's radio address this week: Posted by: AT90064 \| 08/22/2010 at 10:48 PM professorbainbridge.com -------------- "As the political season heats up, Americans are already being inundated with the usual phone calls, mailings, and TV ads from campaigns all across the country. But this summer, they’re also seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names. We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them. The reason this is happening is because of a decision by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case – a decision that now allows big corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections. They can buy millions of dollars worth of TV ads – and worst of all, they don’t even have to reveal who is actually paying for them. You don’t know if it’s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don’t know if it’s BP. You don’t know if it’s a big insurance company or a Wall Street Bank. A group can hide behind a phony name like “Citizens for a Better Future,” even if a more accurate name would be “Corporations for Weaker Oversight.” ... Well, we cannot allow the corporate takeover of our democracy.
