Sunlight Foundation Covers Obama's Chamber of Commerce Speech
By Josh Hatch Feb 07 2011 10:55 a.m.This morning the Sunlight Foundation will be covering President Obama’s address to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce using Sunlight Live, our award-winning, real-time, investigative reporting platform.
Obama's speech comes as the administration is trying to forge a better relationship with the business community, and what better place to start (from the administration's point of view) than with the top non-party committee spender, which laid out $32.12 million in electioneering communications for the 2010 midterms, according to Sunlight’s “Follow the Unlimited Money” tracker. The majority of this outside spending went in support of electing Republican candidates to office.
In addition to coverage by Sunlight's reporting group, we'll be joined by Tim Fernholz of the National Journal.
So, join us at 11:15 a.m. today as we cover the President's speech with real-time context and analysis.
