In an October 11 RedState post, CNN's Erick Erickson revived the falsehood that President Obama was “the biggest recipient of British Petroleum dollars,” which “is a foreign corporation.” In fact, the campaign donations Obama received were entirely from BP employees, not the corporation. None of Obama's 2008 presidential funding came from BP's political action committee. From Erickson's October 11 blog post:

But there are two larger points worth noting. First and foremost, if this is the standard Barack Obama is using, then Barack Obama himself is a threat to our democracy. Why?

Barack Obama is the biggest recipient of British Petroleum dollars. British Petroleum is a foreign corporation.

If that is the standard the Chamber of Commerce is held to, Barack Obama should hold himself to that standard.
