"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Obama boosts Chamber donations; Is Obama going after the Chamber for Big Labor?

Chamber is taking in more money to fight the Obama agenda -- how funny! Obama couldn't even get his attacks right on Fox either as the Fox News Ratings are climbing.

This would be laughable if it didn't have such serious consequences. With the War in Afghanistan decision put on hold until Obama can make a decision, the President and his surrogates still have time to attack the US Chamber and Fox News along with anyone else who goes against their agenda. Important decisions to be made and this President goes golfing once again on Sunday and campaigns around the Country at the end of last week for Democrat candidates while our Commander in Afghanistan is waiting for a decision.

It would be nice if Obama would stay in the WH and cut down on the use of fuel for one thing. No President has ever spent so much time away from the White House in recent memory, but then when you see his desk, it is clean of work. Who is doing the work of President because Obama doesn't spend enough time in the Oval Office to do more then photo ops.

Guess he has made the tough job of the Buck Stops Here as President into a cushy job for someone to travel around campaigning and visiting. Considering he never played golf before he was elected, he sure plays enough now that he is President. Even on Father's Day when he told Fathers to spend the day with their children, he went golfing. Lazy is the word that comes to mind.

Who is running Government? Emanual or Axelrod or a combination with Jarrett?

Electing somone to be President with no real experience except voting 'Present' was a bad idea as he has turned out to be playing at President with all the perks but not working. He couldn't even provide the Democrats a plan for Healthcare that was his own. 'Hope' is not working out when you have no substance behind the 'Hope.'

Ironic that it takes the British Press to point out about the US Chamber bringing in more dollars as our Obama media continues to sleep on the job just like their hero.

“U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue says a campaign by the White House and its allies to undermine his $200-million-a-year association has largely failed — and actually has helped raise even more money for its pro-business efforts,” Politico reported.

Shades of Fox News enjoying higher ratings thanks to efforts by the president to demonize it. An effort by the White House to have advertisers boycott Glenn Beck largely failed.

Donohue told Politico the Chamber will raise $10 million more this year than it did last year, a 5% increase.

Politico noted: “Several CEOs have told Politico in recent weeks they have gone from genuinely uncertain about Obama’s economic views to authentically concerned. And the outcome of climate change, health care and regulation could turn much of business against the president’s goals.”

Everything is beginning to make sense about the White House attacks on the Chamber when you read the article below. Big Labor is after the Chamber and are making sure the man they bought and paid for in 2008 is on their side against the Chamber. Thus, we see Obama and his surrogates going after the Chamber for Big Labor.

How many other issues has this President supported because he has been bought and paid for by special interest? Our guess is the healthcare bill is a payback to the progressives for their support of him.

Getting more obvious as days go by that this President's core values are based on who was the highest bidder. This may be why he has a hard time making a decision since he was able to vote 'Present' in the past and is not used to having a tough job.

The White House may want to diffuse its spat with the Chamber of Commerce, but Big Labor clearly has no such intentions.

Anna Burger, secretary-treasurer of the Service Employees International Union and chairwoman of the five-union federation Change to Win, slammed the big business lobby and its president, Tom Donohue, in a letter delivered today to House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and Rep. Spencer Bachus, the ranking Republican on the committee.
