Axelrod to US Chamber: What Are You Hiding That You Don’t Want the American People to See?

Why does Jake not press Axelrod to answer the question about the long form?? It should be pretty obvious that Axelrod dodged the question entirely.

This is why ABC replaced Jake with CNN reject anti-Chritiane Amanpour on "This Week".
We can't have real journalists like Jake practicing real journalism in "the Age of Obama".
That David Axlefraud is such a sleazy greaseball too. He must leave a trail of toxic slime behind him wherver he goes.

Heck, no one remembers but obama during the election was pounding in over 600 million dollars in campaign contributions and setting records... there has been questions floating around for over 2 years now about where it all came from, and that a number of muslim nations funneled money into his campaign. I think if were going to question where campaign money is coming from, the most logical place to start scrutinizing is right at the TOP.

Obama uses American taxpayers money to finance Sharia "Zakat",which he has stated he "Supports". In turn Sharia financing fund the taliban. One eighth of all Zakat goes to Islamic militants.
That is TREASON:

So when is MSNBC going to start to accuse ABC and Jake Tapper of being birthers?

lol

People who request information that they are legally entitled to are NOT
"Whackjobs". Obama,no matter where he was born,is NOT a "Natural-Born" American. His father was a Briton. That made Junior a Brit,at Birth. One is required to have TWO parents BOTH of whom are Americans and to be born in the USA to be President. This is a longstanding legal precept outlined in the "Law of Nations". Congress has the power to "Define and Punish...offenses against the Law of Nations" (see USConst.,Article 1,Sec.8):

Tapper should have pressed the birth certificate. He never answered the ?. This administration is nothing but sleez.

Wow! Real Journalism by ABC....Congrats....unfortunately...rules do not apply to Dems

Careful, Jake, you keep asking these sorts of probing real-journalist questions and making these Obama functionaries squirm and paint themselves in a corner, you'll not be invited to the next White House Press Appreciation Celebration.

Ok Barry you want to see were the money is coming from?

Here's the deal.

You show me yours I'll show you mine.

"YOURS" would be your long form birth certificate and ALL of you school records plus transcripts and grades from grade school to present.

What?

Oh I forgot, you got in through affirmative action.

the Democrats refused to disclose!!!

---

Source?

In 2008, the Democrats refused to disclose!!! Obama received contributions totalling almost a billion dollars!

Maybe the "unidentifiable" donations explains all of Obama's bowing to foreign leaders.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

We need to replace the lying liberals and take our country back.

Of course, this is only interesting because Moveon operates under the EXACT SAME rules as the Chamber.

Except they don't. Someone commented on this earlier, I think. See Posted by: Gen X | Oct 11, 2010 6:40:51 PM or go directly to Plum Line ('Scarborough retracts false claim about lefty groups' disclosure. Will Rove and other righties do same?') or Raw Story ('Scarborough retracts claim that MoveOn doesn’t disclose donors') or open secrets (under PACS, moveon contributors)

Get informed. You owe it to yourself.

Lots of right-wingers are saying the McCarthyism thing now.....so where did all the parrots hear it? Beck?

Kinda funny given they're the ones that have been in Red Scare mode since the general election.

But speaking of McCarthy-- sorta-- Kevin McCarthy, another GOP “Young Gun” (not the one who dresses up as a Nazi) and one of the "geniuses" behind the vacant Republican “Pledge to America” was pressed to name one-- just one-- program he’d cut from the federal budget to reduce spending. He couldn't. He dodged the question, and then came up with the embarrassing statement: “the line item would be across-the-board.”

Most Republicans have been unable to name any programs they would cut to reduce the deficit. They call themselves fiscal conservatives but they're just reactionaries.

Not a single word from the media - including you Jake - on all the money spent by Moveon.org in 2004 and 2008. Of course, this is only interesting because Moveon operates under the EXACT SAME rules as the Chamber. It's only become a "story" since Republicans started to win the money game - before that, no so much.

Lots of right-wingers are saying the McCarthyism thing now.....so where did all the parrots hear it? Beck?

true blew wrote:"d most of the people on here are upset that an Obama aide and Obama think disclosure when it comes to campaign contributions is a good idea. "
.
oBama says... disclosure for thee, but not for me.

Wow, the stench of desperation coming from obama's inner circle as the election draws near is overwhelming. If they will stoop to this sort of McCarthyism now, what on earth will they do to try to save their administration in the 2012 reelection bid? the mind boggles.

So, a rape case haunts Buck, Miller won't divulge any further any information to the press for the remainder of the campaign and wants to repeal the 17th amendment,one of Cantor's young bucks is associated with some creepy group that glorifies Nazi's, Christine O'Donnell is a science illiterate with fewer logic skills than a gnat and yet....

d most of the people on here are upset that an Obama aide and Obama think disclosure when it comes to campaign contributions is a good idea.

Unbelievable.

Something tells me we're not going to be going in the right direction in this country for a very long time if dems, young bright people, progressives, liberals, thinking independents don't get out there and vote.

If they win, everybody loses. They're that crazy.

"Mary said it wasn't debatable and that means it isn't debatable"

Your confidence in Mary always being right is touching in a way Noz, however as for myself I'm not ready to delegate parental authority to her just yet.

See after Kerry got swiftboated Democratic strategists decided to respond strongly and directly to any future right-wing propaganda and this is I'm sure what the attacks are that Mary is referring to. Republicans in office are content to allow the right-wing smear machine do their dirty work for them. In fact guys like Rush Limbaugh make a living doing precisely that.

Interesting how Jake asks about the "long form" birth certificate.

-------

Interesting is one word for it. Just another Halperin chasing Drudge.

Provide proof because I have plenty of Obama doing it.

Posted by: Mary | Oct 11, 2010 11:01:21 PM

Let's see it. Sounds like a bald-faced lie to me. Quote in context, date, source.

Interesting how Jake asks about the "long form" birth certificate. You've got to know he really doesn't believe Obama and neither does Newt. But neither of them wants to be labeled a "birther" so they dance around it by first calling people like me "whackjobs", or saying they personally believe he was born in Hawaii, "but",.......
The bottom line is the Democratic Party led by Pelosi and Reid scammed America by not researching Obama's past. They didn't research anything and everybody knows it.
Obama could easily have been born in Kenya as anybody can get a Hawaiian birth certificate.

This coming from a guy who is funded by NGO's and multinational organizations all around the world! To quote John Stossel: "Give Me a Break!"

This moron is just trying to rabble rouse and create something, anything to try and stir up anything as the Dems head toward Niagra Falls in a small boat. The crowd lines the shore watching them go faster and faster in current, .....but alas they are past the power plant and it's too late to throw them a rope,....they're going to go over the Falls, and there is no stopping them.

"Officers in the military are refusing to obey orders because Obama has not shown his birth certificate"

How many? 2 or 3 unfortunates out of hundreds of thousands? I would call that insignificant. And don't try and make victims out of these fools, they were quite adequately warned that they don't have a legal leg to stand on.

Axelrod is a total bonehead who is being paid by Obama to shill for him. His paycheck is his loyalty. Utter nonsense on top of it, .....where is the disclosure of the campaign funds Obummer supposedly got off of the internet 1 or 2 dollars at a time,....yeah right. I seem to remember Obummer saying his credit card software "malfunctioned" so they couldn't trace it back to the source.

Skip, I don't know why you bring up such a lame argument that even a 5th grader wouldn't attempt. Mary said it wasn't debatable and that means it isn't debatable.
Obama has attacked more private citizens and organizations than any other President. File that under Truth.

How about, I'll show you mine, if you show me yours? The Chamber should make that deal with Obama. If he shows his long form, legal birth certificate, his school records and everything else that's been sealed, then they will reveal the donors.

That will shut them up.

For Axelrod, President Obama, and the Democrats in charge, it's "transparency for thee, but not for me". Yes, transparency would be nice...in fact, it's what these people ran on in 2008. But once elected, they didn't give a flip. All of the meetings on Stimulus and Health Care were done in secret with their 3rd party groups like Apollo Alliance, Unions, etc. So, please DON"T talk about transparency. The C of C is pro-business, so of course this administration hates them!

Posted by: Skip | Oct 11, 2010 10:47:05 PM

President Bush verbally accosted and mocked private citizens? Really? Provide proof because I have plenty of Obama doing it.

Axelrod makes sense in places. So, if Obama doesn't have anything to hide, why not show us the long form birth certificate? 57% of Americans are no longer convinced Obama was born in the US> We are already in a crisis of confidence. Officers in the military are refusing to obey orders because Obama has not shown his birth certificate. People are being court martialed. War heroes are having their careers ruined because Obama has not shown his birth certificate.

It is time to stop ridiculing the birthers and start demanding to see the long form birth certificate!

"First of all, no President in our lifetime has attacked private citizens and organizations more than Obama. That isn't even debatable"

You must be suffering from self-induced Bush era Amnesia. The Republicans attacked anyone and everyone who criticized the Iraq war and their fiscal policies as being unpatriotic.

Posted by: Skip | Oct 11, 2010 10:15:17 PM

First of all, no President in our lifetime has attacked private citizens and organizations more than Obama. That isn't even debatable.

The US Chamber of Commerce story is a phony issue. You've been duped. Again.

Eric Lichtblau reported in the New York Times that "there is little evidence that what the chamber does in collecting overseas dues is improper or even unusual. They do get money from foreign Chambers of Commerce but it’s a very small amount and entirely separate from the campaign spend. But look at this. If you look at the issue of foreign money, actually, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies are under campaign law allowed to operate political action committees and in the past year, in the past election cycle, they've given more than $12 million. So there is some, let's call it foreign-connected money, if not actually foreign money that’s involved in this campaign cycle."

And CNBC Washington correspondent Eamon Javers stated, "Well, we’ve got about 160 of these PACs. Interestingly here, President Obama might want to look up the statistics because they're favoring Democrats. More than $6 million has gone to Democrats and more than $5 million has gone to Republicans from those subsidiaries – subsidiaries of foreign companies. So clearly that group favoring the Democrats by a pretty healthy margin."

Oops! But there's more.

During his campaign, Obama collected $233 million of campaign contributions whose origin was never traced, though at least one analyst at the FEC suspected a significant portion came from foreign sources.

"They regularly use this rule to attack anyone who dares to express any dissent, including private citizens"

As a citizen of THIS country you can express all the dissent you want. Just don't finance it with foreign currency and tell us its a domestic effort.

Obama and Axelrod are once again using Saul Alinsky's Rule #13 (from Rules for Radicals): "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." They regularly use this rule to attack anyone who dares to express any dissent, including private citizens.

McCarthyism! I don't see anybody being personally persecuted here. But it says alot about how egregious Republican supporters admit these charges are.

What about all the US taxpayer money that went to Kenya to try to influence the vote over a constitutional change? And what about Barry himself, US senator going to Kenya to help his favorite candidates' campaign? So hypocritical.

Jake, you guys going to look into all those foreign debit card donations to Obama in the 08 elections that you refused to look into while you elected this fool. Perhaps you could look into them, now that you will have lots of time while this guy slowly melts like the wicked witch right before our eyes.

Perhaps the Obama Apologists can explain the following:

Donations from Foreign-Connected Political Actions Committees for 2010 Election Cycle:

To Democrats: $6,517,903

To Republicans: $5,581,701

Source: Opensecrets.org

Where is this money coming from Democrats?

Those who live in glass houses...

The problem with this? Axelrod hates liberals. He's said so publicly. Given that, why would I listen to or care what he says? Answer: I don't.

McCarthyism is alive and well in the era of Hopenchange.

Great questioning by Jake, the following exchange was especially precious:

TAPPER: Isn't that like the whackjobs that tell the president he needs to show them his full long-form birth certificate so he can put to rest the questions that have been raised?

AXELROD: The president’s birth certificate has been available to people.

TAPPER: The long form?

Excellent. No response from Axe...

I would love to see Barry's college transcripts...but like Billy Jeff's medical history, the leftist media will keep on ignoring it long enough as possible for it to be forgotten.

Funny how that happens.

I bet Barry was a horrible student, on par with the wondrous Al Gore.

He's like the young person with not much real experience who goes to work at a non-profit without realizing that it is profit that allows the non-profit to exist. He simply has no clue how things really work. Barry has never worked a day in his blessed life, what is so shocking about his attitudes...

Senator McCarthy would be proud.

Except he was going after actual communists, not bankers, investors, doctors, plumbers and all the rest of us bitter clingers.

Ya know what's interesting? Obama has never dissed lawyers. I guess it is because we all know lawyers are not greedy.

Way to go Jake, on the birth certificate question! I've been saying that for 18 hours... And I happen to believe Obama was born here. But fair, is definitely fair. Is there video?

Where is the money coming from? Why is that such a difficult question? Why is it such a suprise that people want to know where the money is coming from? Is the truth such an unreasonable thing to ask?

Obama took something like $400 million in donations from people and organizations that have not been identified to this day.

Even the New York Times is repulsed by this false smear.

I want to see the vid Jake. Do you have it?

Nobody is REQUIRED to do anything just to shut David Axelrod up. Obama never reconciled all his anonymous donors.
