When the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that private organizations, including corporations and unions, could spend unlimited amounts of money on political speech, President Obama decried the decision, warning that it amounted to a "threat to our democracy." Two years later, the Obama campaign has announced that with the president's blessing, it will support a pro-Obama super PAC--a creation of that very ruling--to received unlimited donations from individuals, corporations and unions for the 2012 presidential campaign.

Yep Biggs, you've posted something that's actually true. Russ Feingold is cussin them over this. They're using an arms race rationale.
"Gotta counter those half billion dollar Rove/Koch attacks with Super Pacs of our own." Sad.

Poor Newt, my old buddy, is already being out-spent nine to one by Captain Hair-Do.
Captain Hair-Do must be stopped. We gotta deliver a kick in the britches to the enemies of freedom.
THEN we gotta go to the moon!

You mean like, "Please welcome, President Barack Obama, by Greenpeace and PETA!"

Thanks Doc. I was wondering what he meant.

Yes that would be fine. Hadn't thought about it but, I would think with an office as important as the POTUS, there should be room to share.

On the bright side, Santorum is leading all three primaries tonight. At this time at least.
