Seems Axelrod, would have known this well before the interview. That would be all over MSNBC, CNN and even FOX.
But it is not. It has to do with credibility.

They need to show the separation. The Chamber keeps saying but this is legal because it is separated. But if it is so legal than show the separation. They could stop this at any time if they would show how the money is being separated.

The money in the bank has not dropped below the donation amount.

Easy accounting shows it is all still there and where those funds are distributed, for the increase and decrease in the funds.

Considering all the nativist concerns expressed by conservatives, whether it is Chinese ownership of American companies, out sourcing "American" jobs, one world government, the literati etc, etc, I find it quite interesting that when the wheel hits the pavement how quickly those concerns seem to glide away when it comes to protecting their own.

Barack has not disclosed where the millions of dollars of foreign donations that HE received came from in 2008.

That is certainly irrelevant now that he is trying to create a smokescreen for his parties pending slaughter in the midterms.

Thanks for such a true statement. Boy how long is obama and the dems, going to stop grasping at straws. How so many cannot see thru this administration and president, is just astounding to me.

All they need to do is show it.

This is election time and I firmly intend to maintain the middle path and not get too overly excited. The other night I went up to the Chamber of Commerce site and took the links to other countries and read exactly what is being reported. AmChams are not a big old secret. So, I said ok and I can see where that money comes from, but shouldn't we be paying attention to this over here? Chamber said that they have a system in place. Ok, well whip that puppy out. That way we don't have to waste anymore time over here when we have other things to pay attention to.
