I was referring to what Obama said, I don't see him mentioning the name Koch.
Anyway, any billionaire is a thug to me, else they would not have hoarded so much money.
Well, the thread title did act as a magnet to attract the Obama haters, none of which actually addressed what might be suspect about these guys, so I'll chime in.....
This morning, the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer published an explosive investigative piece detailing the role of the Koch family in orchestrating not only the Tea Party movement, but much of the modern right-wing infrastructure. The brothers David and Charles Koch, heirs to the oil and chemical conglomerate Koch Industries, have founded or funded dozens of conservative or libertarian publications, think tanks, and attack groups. Their father, Fred Koch, similarly fueled the paranoid right-wing movements of the fifties and sixties through his financing of the John Birch Society.

The corporate-backed front group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is again leading the charge for industry against environmental protections. Earlier this month, AFP kicked off its “Regulation Reality Tour” — a roadshow through the states of pivotal senators pressuring the Environmental Protection Agency not to regulate carbon emissions, as outlined by the Clean Air Act .
You link Fifth Column and Think Progress and expect people like me to read them? I read the blurb on Koch's website about their work with green crap and saw enough to see that they feel they have to defend themselves.
BTW, I live about 125 miles from their headquarters and don't know a lot of people who see them like your people do.

Meanwhile back here on planet Earth. Obama won the presidency from hundreds of millions in donations from foreign entities and he also fought to have the names withheld so nobody knew where the funds were coming from. He's such a damn criminal and needs to be locked up for life.

Here is a link Koch Industries, Inc.
Why would Obama do this ? ( I like heat in the winter) does he think people hate oil?
Is Koch primarily owned by white people?
