Governor Bob McDonnell, no stranger to the television political talk shows since his 2009 landslide election, will appear on the granddaddy of them all Sunday with an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press. He’ll have some atypical company in fellow guests left-winger David Axelrod, one of President Barack Obama’s closest and most trusted confidants, and Democrat-Turned-RINO-turned-independent left wing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Topics include the 2012 presidential race and the economy. Expect host David Gregory to ask Governor McDonnell, the vice chairman of the Republican Governors Association, about his interest in the 2012 GOP vice presidential nomination. The governor also has been vocal about the U.S. Supreme Court’s consideration and eventual refusal to expedite the hearing of Virginia’s legal challenge to the federal health care takeover (see statement). Late last year, Federal Judge Henry Hudson ruled the law unconstitutional (as has a federal judge in Florida). The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear the federal government’s appeal in Richmond next week. Check your local listings for the Meet the Press broadcast. Check back here for ObamaCare coverage next week.

You know it’s bad when your liberal allies in the mainstream media reject your ideas (Atlantic Wire). That’s the case with the White House and the Democrat National Committee right now, who can’t even get CBS to buy into their allegation that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and some conservative groups are taking foreign money to ”buy” the midterm elections (see Media Research Center). The DNC has put out an ad to that affect, even calling certain conservatives and the GOP unpatriotic. The Chamber of Commerce unpatriotic?

The irony is stunning, coming from the party of Charlie Trie, Al Gore’s “no controlling legal authority,” and the Obama campaign’s anonymous millions from gift card donations, not to mention forced labor union dues from Big Labor. It proves the axiom that when the left accuses you of something, it usually means they’ve done it themselves (and are tyring to divert attention from real issues). 

MoveOn.org also is in this game with its own echo television spot. This from the group that takes uncountable sums from the likes of George Soros and the same left who accuses anyone of disagreeing with them as questioning  their patriotism. Even the New York Times has disproven the charge. No matter to the White House, which now includes the Chamber of Commerce, once a health care ally, on its enemies list.

For the left, then, it’s about control. Whether through a leviathan government or through intimidation, the left wants absolute conformity. When Bob Schieffer of CBS confronted Obama henchman David Axelrod  about whether he had any evidence of the foreign money allegation, Axelrod snapped chillingly:

Do you have any evidence that it’s not?

So, in the Age of Obama, it’s guilty until proven innocent! The proof? An allegation, and any allegation will do. Especially when you’re desperate.

An incredulous Bob Schieffer can’t believe the shear gall from the president’s chief of enforcement.
