President Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm), in remarks at two separate Miami fundraisers Monday night, made no reference to the explosive charge he hurled days earlier at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, that the business industry group was using foreign money to finance election year TV ads.  The charge has largely dominated the political debate since a liberal blog first raised the issue last Tuesday.

However, Vice President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee kept up the unsubstantiated charge, despite its crumbling credibility as an accusation.

The president’s retreat came as three more normally sycophantic all-things-Obama-outlets, the Associated Press, ABC News and FactCheck.org, all published reports dismissing the accusation. That follows a report by the New York Times, normally a propaganda outlet for the Democratic Party and Obama,  on Saturday that proclaimed that there was “little evidence” the Chamber was engaged in unusual or improper conduct.

According to a  senior Democratic Senate leadership aide, speaking on   Monday night, the line of attack was chopped off at the knees on Sunday morning when Bob Schieffer, host of CBS’ “Face the Nation,” asked Obama adviser David Axelrod,

Is that the best you can do?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

This anonymous aide told the Daily Caller:

Once Axelrod got the treatment by Bob Schieffer, it was all over but for the shouting, and time for them to try another line of attack.

Obama had weaseled around the charge on Sunday in his speech in Philadelphia, saying the use of foreign funds for TV campaign ads was possible but not going so far as he had Thursday to state it as fact. But an Obama adviser said Monday morning there was “no recalibration” in the president’s remarks, and as recently as Sunday morning, the White House said they would continue to go on the offensive.

But late Monday, the Associated Press published a report with the headline: “SPIN METER: Foreign Money in Politics? Not Proven.”

Not even with Obama’s 2008 Presidential Campaign?

Even the suspicious website FactCheck.org began its detailed report with this subheadline: “Democrats peddle an unproven claim.” According to them, the charge by Obama and Democrats against the Chamber has “little basis in fact.”

Per FactCheck.org:

It’s certainly true that millions are being spent without public disclosure, and that much of the money is coming from corporations taking advantage of a Supreme Court ruling easing restrictions on political spending.  But using foreign funds to finance political ads is still a legal violation. Accusing anybody of violating the law is a serious matter requiring serious evidence to back it up. So far Democrats have produced none.

ABC News ( hardly a Conservative source of news) also did its own fact check of Obama’s attack, and found that “an examination of the evidence provides little support for the claims.”

Scooter had claimed that the Chamber’s actions are a “threat to democracy,” and a fundraising e-mail from Organizing for America, an arm of the White House, called the Chamber itself a “threat to democracy.”

And while Obama stayed away from the foreign money charge Monday evening in Miami, Vice President Joe Biden raised the issue during a fundraiser in Pittsburgh.

Obama’s plucky comic-relief sidekick, Joe (Stand up, Chuck!) Biden, said of donations to groups like the Chamber:

You don’t know where it’s coming from, but you know where it’s coming from. It’s coming from some of the biggest interests.

The Democratic National Committee went on the air Monday, in their desperation, with a TV ad accusing the Chamber, along with Republican operatives Karl Rove and Ed Gillespie, of “stealing our democracy.”

According to this piece of propaganda:

It appears they’ve even taken secret foreign money to influence our elections. It’s incredible.

Rove and Gillespie both worked in senior White House adviser roles under President George W. Bush.  They also helped set up American Crossroads, an independent conservative group that is spending roughly $50 million in this election cycle.  Rove and Gillespie do not run the group but advise the group and help raise money for it.

MoveOn.org, the liberal advocacy group, (funded by billionaire socialist puppet master George Soros) has the hypocrisy to start gathering signatures in support of a petition asking Attorney General Eric Holder to launch a criminal investigation of the Chamber.

MoveOn.org said on its website:

This is potentially a very serious crime and it is up to Attorney General Eric Holder to use his power to stop the flow of money immediately and order a full Justice Department investigation.

Gillespie has written an op-ed for the Washington Post, to be published this morning, in which he goes after Obama and ThinkProgress, the blog that originally published the accusation.

According to Gillespie:

The smears are based on nothing more than a blog posting on a Web site affiliated with the Center for American Progress, a liberal nonprofit that does not disclose its donors.  The fate awaiting Democrats in November is a result of their dismal economic record and their arrogance.  One reason voters are deserting President Obama in droves is because of fears of unfettered, invasive government power, fears that will only be reinforced by the Democrats’ new political vigilantism.

Speaking of the evil puppet master, George Soros says that he’s sitting this election out:

I made an exception getting involved in 2004.  And since I didn’t succeed in 2004, I remained engaged in 2006 and 2008. But I’m basically not a party man. I’d just been forced into that situation by what I considered the excesses of the Bush administration.

Soros, 80, spoke those words in a brief interview Friday at a forum sponsored by the Bretton Woods Committee, which promotes understanding of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Soros, who was one of the main contributors to Obama’s Presidential Campaign and remains an advisor to the president, has been directing his money to groups that work on health care and the environment, rather than electoral politics. Asked if the prospect of Republican control of one or both houses of Congress concerned him, he said:

It does, because I think they are pushing the wrong policies, but I’m not in a position to stop it. I don’t believe in standing in the way of an avalanche.
