Is Obama the first sitting President to engage in a baseless smear?

Obama's lying accusations against the Chamber Of Commerce are a sign of sheer desperation. Obama previously let his Chicago Machine minions do all the smearing while he sat smugly above the fray. (Who can forget Obama publicly telling people to stop smearing Sarah Palin as he had 1,500 operatives in Alaska to do nothing but smear her?)

Apparently you are now guilty until proven innocent.



These acusations started with a liberal blog, were picked up by Move On.org who started a petition and the have been repeated by David Axelrod, the White House Press Secretary Gibbs, and now the President himself.



All without offering even one shred of proof. Nothing, Nada, Zero, Ziltch.



The Chamber of Commerce receives a hundred thousand dollars from foreign associations. They plan to spend 50 million on political advertisements.

Want to get your calculator out and tell me what percent $100,000 is of 50 million?



Even Bob Shiefer on Meet the Press this weekend looked in amazement at Axelrod and said "are you telling me it's three weeks before an election and this is all you've got"

You can't say it's baseless until USCC can prove that no foreign money (and they DO collect it) has gone into their ugly hate ads.
