Obama goes Hugo Chavez – scolds Supreme Court’s campaign finance ruling – Samuel Alito mumbled “not true” outload

obama_snobNo wonder Hugo Chavez gave Obama a book.  They apparently are fans of either other. Channeling his inner Chavez, Obama scolded the Supreme Court Judges right in front of America for their decision on campaign finance. Samuel Alito had what Politico is calling a “Joe Wilson Moment” when he mumbled NOT TRUE!

” Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections,” Obama said. “Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”

    This President has a lot of swagger, even charisma. He just doesn’t have any class. He just can’t shake that “Chicago” style politics or empty campaign rhetoric, half truths, and platitudes. The law and the Constitution mean nothing to politicians that ignore the ends to justify their means.

    If I were Justice Alito I’d respond to the MSM’s questions by stating “I was saying ‘not true’ during 95% of the speech, you’ll have to be more specific.”

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

    What part of the above is Obama and others against the Supreme Court decision having trouble with? Is it the “freedom of speech” part or the “right of the people peaceably to assemble?” The outrage should be directed at the fact that the decision to strike down campaign finance reform was not unanimous.
