[Music] TEXT: Have You Had Enough Of President Obama’s Attacks On Free Enterprise?

    TEXT: His Own Key Supporters Have

    TEXT: Democrat Mayor Cory Booker:

Cory Booker:  “I have to just say from a very personal level, I’m not about to sit here and indict private equity.”

    TEXT: Former Congressman Harold Ford Jr:

Harold Ford, Jr.: “Private equity is not a bad thing. Matter of fact, private equity is a good thing in many, many instances.”

    TEXT: Former Obama Economic Adviser and Auto Czar, Steven Rattner:

Steven Rattner: “And I don’t think there’s anything Bain Capital did that they need to be embarrassed about.”

Booker: “If you look at the totality of Bain Capital’s record, they’ve done a lot to support businesses, to grow businesses.” 

    TEXT: Even Obama's Own Supporters Have Had Enough.

Booker:  “It’s nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough.”

    TEXT: Enough is Enough!

Notes: According to the press release...

"President Obama’s attacks on free enterprise have triggered a backlash among many—even among those in his own party. In just the past few days, everyone from former advisors to his own surrogates have criticized the Obama campaign’s attack on free enterprise. With no record to run on, it is no surprise that the Obama campaign has resorted to misleading attacks that have been disavowed by its own supporters."


Following his appearance on "Meet the Press" Booker issued a 3:42 video "Mayor Booker Expands on His Support for President Obama." +


There was a bit of controversy over how Booker's video came to be, as the RNC pointed out in a May 22 video:

RNC Rapid Response Video "Dishonest Attacks, Dishonest Cover-up"

WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee (RNC) released a new web video "Dishonest Attacks, Dishonest Cover-up" showing the Obama campaign's cover-up of Cory Booker's moment of truth. After standing up to the Obama campaign's attacks on free enterprise, Mayor Booker was chastised, demonstrating that a defense of the private sector will not be tolerated in Obama's Democrat Party.

When asked yesterday afternoon about the 'hostage video' response, Obama campaign Press Secretary Ben LaBolt said they had not reached out to Mayor Booker and that "he released that video of his own volition...the campaign did not ask him to do so." Yet, last night, Mayor Booker admitted that these conversations had occurred with campaign officials. All of this demonstrates just how far the candidate of 'Hope and Change' has fallen to become the president of dishonest attacks and dishonest cover-ups.
