Obama flip flops on PAC money

[JoeChalupa]

You have to play the game but words, just ask Romney, come back to haunt you. I get the decision politically but it will be used against him....as it should be. Damnit.

[cheguevara]

Trying to beat Romney at his game perhaps?

he had no choice, the Repug/VRWC/Wall ST SuperPACs had to be countered.

Gonna be a filthy, dirty, lying, nasty, REPUGnant campaign. Willy Horton will look like an angel.

Obama was the first candidate in modern times to turn down federal funding and in so doing, became the first billion dollar candidate.

The Democrats had majorities in both houses at the time of the Citizens United ruling, but did nothing to curtail the foreseeable avalanche of corporate election money.

Why not? Because Democrats want big money too. Obama only posed as reformer in 2008.

They can be such hypocrites.

What got me about the ordeal is Obama flipped on that. He promised earlier to go with the federal funding.

The price of personal integrity -- being uncompetitive money-wise this fall -- would've been way too high for most incumbents, tbh. You can't do any good for the country if you don't win the election.

I didn't say so. I certainly don't think so.
