I am appalled that the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce’s money was spent to honor Obama and his cronies, who have been instrumental in leaving so many of the members of this state unemployed, homeless and hungry. Surely this money could have been put to better use. If this is this mentality of the chamber, then we are in a sad state of affairs. It seems to me more of a ploy, than an honor, to garner votes for the party.
