WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican strategist Karl Rove on Tuesday denied that his party gets campaign donations from foreign sources and accused President Obama of "being hypocritical" in suggesting such a link.

Mr. Rove told ABC's "Good Morning America" the GOP doesn't accept donations from overseas, noting it would be illegal. He accused Mr. Obama of demanding that Republicans release donor information even though he declined to release such information in 2008.

With control of Congress hanging in the balance, the parties have been trading harsh accusations.

Mr. Rove charged Tuesday that Mr. Obama had "no problem" with keeping his donors secret, and is only protesting now because "Republicans have taken up and started doing what Democrats have been doing for years."

Mark as offensive

Like any petulant child throwing a temper tantrum, Barack Obama loses all sense of rationality when he goes into one of his increasingly frequent panicked diatribes against those Americas who would dare to oppose his "redistributionist" policies. Barack, your shrill assaults against your political opponents may well have been appropriate in your career as a "Community Agitator" for ACORN; but, such deplorable conduct is demeaning to the office of the presidency, and an insulting embarrassment to the American people. If you can't comport yourself with the dignity expected of the President of the most powerful Nation on earth, then at least have the personal integrity to vacate the WH; and, return to your "Community Agitator" roots which are more adapted to your public ranting. You might even consider employment as an Associate Pastor for Jeremiah Wright. Greg Neubeck
