Obama Flip-flop

Looks like Mr. Obama is now endorsing the use of Super PACs not long after he spoke out against them. Is anyone really surprised he would compromise his own ethics to win an election?

Well you know the policy of the left, "If it feels good, it must be good."

Is it surprising that he's just playing on a level field instead of letting Mitt's dogs, or whoever is the R candidates PAC, attack like there is no tomorrow? We've seen what these republican PACs have done to each during these primaries, just imagine what they will do when they go after Obama. Current election laws permit super PACS, so even though he said he's against them what's he supposed to do, just roll over and let them do their thing?

We need election reform, a year and a half of campaigning for President is far too long. Shoot, as soon as our representatives get into office they have to start thinking about reelection. It ain't right and there is too much money involved, especially for the presidential election. :S

What ethics?

Who cares? Our elections have become an orgy of spending and mud slinging. Without campaign finance reform nothing will change.
