Showing Original Post only (View all)Please I want help understanding Obama's use of Super Pacs This campaign season. [View all]
I will be honest Sometimes I do criticize the Presidents in his policies. I get he can't keep every campaign promise. I will be voting for Obama this year unlike my husband who is refusing to vote AT ALL in his mind the Corporations have won. He feels Democrats and republicans are in Corporations back pocket and isn't going to play the "Game" anymore.
But the thing that is really bothering right at this moment is Obama going ahead with the use of Super Pacs and Maher just handing a super Pac a million dollars (For Obama).
In 2008 Obama raised more money than ever before and I honestly believe it was his turning down Super Pacs. So why now.
Can Citizens United be that much dangerous to a Presidential election this year?
I have been screaming about the citizens united vote because the danger it has for U.S. House and Senate races as well as State and even (some) Cities BUT does Obama need a Super Pac to win this election?
(I don't want to cause trouble I am honestly asking this question to understand this movement)
