Obama Chides Republicans on Corporate Campaign Cash
in weekly address.

'President Barack Obama revved up his effort on Saturday to curb corporate influence on U.S. political campaigns, chiding Republicans for keeping the public "in the dark" by opposing a reform bill.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said Americans are seeing the ramifications of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed companies and other groups to spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertising.'

1. Oh, please. Mr. Obama has no room whatsoever to talk here
he is just as beholden to his corporate masters as the rest of them, as he has made quite clear by his actions.
