Those of you who voted for and supported Obama in 2008 need to face reality… your pick lied to you, continues to lie and has no intentions whatsoever to actually clean up Washington. As an example, remember Obama’s hardline stance against Super PACs? Here’s a little reminder… from Obama’s 2010 State of the Union Address.
“Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign companies — to spend without limit in our elections. Well, I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”
That’s pretty string populist language if I’ve ever seen it. The problem? Obama was against Super PAC’s before he was for them. Now he’s for them.
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.
Remember, the Democrat belief is that something is only evil when Republicans do it.
Of course, Obama supporters will likely applaud this lie because, after all, the ends justify the means.
