In regard to President Obama’s attacks on the Chamber of Commerce, it’s hard to know whether to focus on the dishonesty or the hypocrisy, but I think the hypocrisy is winning. Politico reports:
“The Times is hung up on whether or not the Chamber is following the letter of the law,” a White House official said. “We will continue to point out that the only way to put to rest the important questions that have been raised about their $75 million ad campaign is for the Chamber to disclose basic information about their donors.”
Seriously?! Obama is calling on the Chamber of Commerce to disclose its donors?! After he refused to disclose the donors to his presidential campaign? That is awfully rich.
UPDATE: Obama scales back his attacks, but only a little.
Also, Ed Gillespie (another of the president’s targets) points out that the Center for American Progress, the leftist group that started this line of attack, does not disclose its donors. Hypocrisy is definitely winning.
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin takes a look at the Democrats’ history of taking foreign contributions.
