Two years ago President Barack Obama railed against a certain type of political action committee known as super PAC's as a "threat to our democracy". Today his reelection campaign confirmed that both administration and campaign officials will fundraise for Priorities USA Action, a super PAC backing the president.

In October of 2010, shortly before the shellacking his fellow Democrats took in the mid-term elections, Mr. Obama spoke at a rally in Philadelphia. He attacked these groups which the Supreme Court ruled could raise unlimited sums from corporations, unions and other groups, as well as individuals.

He uses a situation to sound like he is making a strong ethical stance but then is totally willing to sell out his ‘principles’ if it advances himself.
He does it with such ease it is mind boggling.

He isn’t merely someone who acts hypocritically or lies. He is at his core,in my not so humble oppion, a hypocrite and a lier.
As are many of his Progressive buds Nancy and Harry ect.
