Obama: Super PAC's bad, unless for me...

[general35]

Of course, union dues cash was never a problem for him, but that was never a piece of the pie anyone could get unless they were a democrat.....he had the banks in his pocket but lost a lot of that cash.

In a change of position, Barack Obama's reelection campaign will begin using administration and campaign aides to fundraise for Priorities USA Action, a super PAC backing the president.

Obama has been an outspoken critic of current campaign financing laws, in particular a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the creation of super PACs. Until now he has kept his distance from Priorities USA Action.

But in the wake of the group's anemic fundraising, made public last week, the campaign decided to change its position, and announced the new stance to members of its national finance committee Monday evening.

Two Obama campaign aides confirmed that senior campaign and administration officials who participate at fundraising events for the president's campaign will also appear at events for Priorities USA Action, the PAC supporting Obama.

Kind of like, "Elect me and I won't bring any lobbyists into my inner circle".

Or, calling Bush unpatriotic in a speech in 2006 for increasing the national debt.

unfortunately in this day and age, media allows for words to speak louder than actions. If they didn't, it would be more difficult for the current administration to defend it's actions.

Gen
? I thought the candidates can't have contact with the Superpacs

and yes he spoke against ' outside groups" on 08. he is such a liar although his supporters will justify it somehow

 

[general35]

yes, the justification will be the republicans do it so we need to as well. the whole scam in all of this is that it has always been done anyway only now it is more in the open which to me is a good thing. good article here on the myth of campaign finance reform.

I thought the differenec between a PAC and a Superpac is the supers can't have involvement or imput from the candidates?

og course in BO's case he was so against these groups he called them shadowy groups with harmless sounding names
like Priorities USA Action?? Like that BO?
