Follow Napoleon's Advice on the Chamber Pot "Scandal" - Big Government

by Jeff Perren


"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake."

�
I'm actually pleased that Obama has gone after the Chamber of Commerce for
allegedly funding Republican ads with foreign donations. Set aside that
there's no evidence whatever for it, as even the New York Times and CBS's Bob
Schieffer acknowledge. There's much more potent ammunition here.


In the Chamber of Commerce, one couldn't find a more homespun,
middle-of-the-road group of Republicans to attack. Going after them shows just
how desperate Obama and his henchmen have become in the face of worsening
election prospects.


Trying to make Boehner the face of the enemy failed. The "Party of
No"� meme
fell flat, as has every gambit intended to make Republicans look like the
reason things are not getting better. Those efforts had to, given the GOP's
minority status (not to mention their leaders' string-like spines).

Republicans in Congress have clearly been able to block nothing the past 20
months.


So, being left with attacking private citizens; and not your typical "Wall
Street fat cats"� at that; amounts to digging that trench ever deeper. Not only
will Obama not crawl out of it by November 2, it could keep him clambering for
a foothold long afterward.


Better still, the harder he presses this the more he'll alienate the middle.


That's a surefire losing tactic. There's no better way to make the Republican
majority even larger than it's going to be than to press arbitrary charges
against millions of small businessmen.


Going after the guy in top hat and tails from the Monopoly board with
unfounded claims is one thing. It's wrong, but it's often effective. Painting
the local Kiwanis Club member with a xenophobic brush is sure to backfire big
time when it comes time to tally up votes.


Even better, someone might actually take Obama seriously. (Yes, I know that's
increasingly unlikely as each day passes, and not chiefly because of Chamber
Pot.) If they do; "they"� being, say, some ambitious young lawyer
in the DoJ;
they might just start looking into all his foreign campaign contributions
collected illegally via credit card in mid-2008.


I admit this is outside my area of expertise, but that sounds like grounds for
impeachment to my ears.


Jonah Goldberg scoffs at pundits like Jonathan Chait who invented the claim
that the GOP would pursue impeachment if they took a majority in November, and
rightly so. The odds of the GOP doing any such thing are depressingly remote,
true. But at least CampaignGate would give them good grounds and it would make
for great political theater. Whatever the legal technicalities, if nothing
else, it would tie up Obama and his cronies for months or longer.


So, please Mr. Axelrod, unleash yet more Chihuahuas of war. Keep yapping up
the wrong tree. Come January, you'll find that winter has done to your
artillery what Moscow's did to that of Monsieur Bonaparte.
