Americans For Prosperity Launches ‘Obama Forgets’ Campaign | The Koch brothers are intensifying their anti-Obama campaign barrage. In the lead up to the State of the Union address, the Koch front group Americans For Prosperity (AFP) is launching “Obama Forgets,” a seven-day campaign that highlights what the group calls some of the Obama Administration’s “worst offenses to the principles of limited government and free market enterprise.” The campaign leads with accusations of corruption based on the right-wing bugbears of Solyndra, health care reform, and ACORN, and grossly exaggerated complaints about regulations. AFP will host State of the Union watch events in eight states, with the biggest event in Florida, just before its presidential primary.
