Obama Is Attacked By Ads That Lie About His Green Energy Policies

This article by Fact Checker describes two large ads that are being used in battleground states against Obama.  They make false claims about the administrations program to fund green energy.  They tell the public that taxpayer money is being used to fund foreign jobs.  The article explains why the claims made in the ads are false.  Unfortunately, millions will watch the ads but few will read this article by Fact Checker.

Corporate money has been funneled into the PAC's that produced these false ads.  The US Supreme Court has made it possible for corporations to spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns.  Their argument is based upon the idea that corporations are people, and that advertising is a form of free speech protected by the Constitution.  Our founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves.  They never imagined that the Bill Of Rights was intended to give corporations the right to free speech.  They also never imagined that advertising, which is very expensive, was a form of free speech.  It is a form of mass communication that is only available to organizations with the required funding. This form of free speech, only available to the few, is the primary method by which the public is informed in election campaigns.  This was not their idea of democracy.
