…The entire Obama administration. Come on down for your prize, guys!

The Obama administration is alleging that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is using foreign donations to “influence” November’s election:

“You don’t know,” he said here. “It could be the oil industry, it could be the insurance industry, it could even be foreign-owned corporations. You don’t know because they don’t have to disclose. Now that’s not just a threat to Democrats, that’s a threat to our democracy.”

So that’s a pretty big charge. What’s your evidence, Obama?

David Axelrod, the president’s senior adviser, was asked Sunday by Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation” on CBS if he had any evidence that the chamber was using secret foreign funds to influence the election.

“Well, do you have any evidence that it’s not, Bob?” Mr. Axelrod replied. “The fact is that the chamber has asserted that, but they won’t release any information about where their campaign money is coming from. And that’s at the core of the problem here.”

…Oh. You don’t have any evidence? You mean all you’re saying is they “could” be violating the law? Oh.

You know what you “could” be doing, Mr. President? You could be beating your wife. I mean, just beating the hell out of her. Or you could be a Justin Bieber fan. You could be a Justin Bieber-listening wife-beater, and I sure as hell don’t want someone like that trying to influence our election. Man, that’s scary. I’ve really scared myself now. A Bieber fan in the White House…

See how fun that is? Using this President’s logic, I can just make anything up and pin it on him, because it could be true. Obama might be a cross-dresser, the horror! But here’s one thing it isn’t: honest, nor honorable. It’s what a scoundrel does, someone who doesn’t deserve to be in charge of a fantasy football league, much less the President of the United States.

But that’s where we are. The Democrats won Congress in 2006 claiming they would “empty the swamp” of corruption, and Obama won the 2008 election promising the beginning of post-partisan politics. Instead, we have perhaps the most hyper-partisan president we’ve seen, who doesn’t see anything as below his office provided he thinks it might help his party win a few seats. That’s who we’ve elected to represent us.
