Obama: Americans For Prosperity Is Foreign Or Something

[mudwhistle]

Obama seems to be obsessed with his critics. I think this is an attempt to nip what he sees as a problem in the bud.

"Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads against Democratic candidates all across the country. And they don’t have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don’t know if it’s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don’t know if it’s a big oil company, or a big bank. You don’t know if it’s a insurance company that wants to see some of the provisions in health reform repealed because it’s good for their bottom line, even if it’s not good for the American people."

Sounds like the Tides Foundation to me. A left leaning brokerage for foreign donations. They specialize in hiding the source of funds from the IRS and the public.

This guy really has alot of gall. He has several sources of income similar to the AFP and he dares to start complaining about it when the opposition does exactly what he's doing.
