Do you remember back during the Presidential debates when Obama was bashing Mitt Romney for business exploits where he had money invested out of country? He went on and on about it leading up to the debate. Mitt made a monkey out of him when he pointed out before the entire nation that Obama himself has substantial out of country investments in his own retirement portfolio. LOL, that was one of the only times I have seen Obama unable to speak as he was taken aback so badly.

There are always two sides to every story. Headlines in the article I saw about your allege in "The Week", dated Oct 4, 2011 went as follows; "The Koch brothers 'bombshell': Bribes, crimes, and illegal trade with Iran?"
Bloomberg digs up dirt on liberals' favorite boogeymen — the Tea Party-bankrolling billionaires Charles and David Koch .....This is the article you used is it not? At any rate, it would be difficult to establish a credible argument to say the authors were not biased when the calling the Koch's "Tea Party-Bankrolling billionaires."

The deal in Saudi Arabia was the work of one rogue manager according to the Koch's. You shouldn't have a lot of trouble assigning some measure of plausibility to that if you're on board with the rationale about Benghazi and the IRS scandal where it has been alleged over and over ad-nauseum that two rogue agents started and perpetrated the whole Tea Party targeting rampage.

This is part of the Koch's response; KORVA COLEMAN: For months Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has made a sport of bashing billionaires David and Charles Koch for donating millions to tax exempt groups pushing to win back Republican control of the Senate. But it turns out, the biggest spending outside group in this election cycle isn’t the Koch brothers, it’s a super PAC with ties to Senator Reid. NPR’s Peter Overby reports.

Big business is not bad for America. They provide millions of jobs and after all, somebody has to work around here. Contrary to the Dem party line, everybody can't do artwork.
