President Barack Obama was at the plush Four Seasons Hotel addressing mega-donors to the Democratic Party on Monday when he attempted to trash Americans for Prosperity:
“Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads against Democratic candidates all across the country. And they don't have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don't know if it’s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don't know if it’s a big oil company, or a big bank. You don't know if it’s a insurance company that wants to see some of the provisions in health reform repealed because it’s good for their bottom line, even if it’s not good for the American people.
“A Supreme Court decision allowed this to happen. And we tried to fix it, just by saying disclose what’s going on, and making sure that foreign companies can’t influence our elections. Seemed pretty straightforward. The other side said no.
“They don't want you to know who the Americans for Prosperity are, because they're thinking about the next election. But we’ve got to think about future generations. We’ve got to make sure that we’re fighting for reform. We’ve got to make sure that we don't have a corporate takeover of our democracy.”
Today, radio talk show host Mark Levin rebuked Obama:

Obama specifically attacked AFP by name. Is this Presidential? Who does this? A Hugo Chavez wanna-be does this. Americans for Prosperity is trying to save this republic.
It is worth a listen.
AFP existed long before the Citizens United decision. And long before Obama was on the national scene – and will be around long after he has left office.
Obama will not intimidate us…will not drive us away. Honest American citizens can influence this government and stop the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Agenda.
After all, we aren’t Americans for Redistributing Wealth – we are Americans for Prosperity.
When the President is so worried about YOU – Americans for Prosperity members – and we are using the community organizing tools against the Community Organizer.
He wants to demean, smear…if you weren’t effective, he would not waste his time. Yes, we are on his radar screen. He can watch us…we will not go away.
We are to defend the constitution and stand on the shoulders of the Founding Fathers and we won’t be intimidated.
We are creating a new army of patriots. Hundreds of thousands of us. Our goal is nothing less than liberty.
Here are Obama’s Austin remarks:
