Obama Democrats to Take Undisclosed Donations

Money, Money, Money.

Obama and the Democrats have railed against 527 groups for months now,

But once they saw how much money the Republicans raised with them,

The White House knew they needed to get in on the action too.

So White House aides Bill Burton and Sean Sweeney have formed their own group,

Created specifically to support President Obama and the Democrats.

Prominent Democratic strategists, including two former top aides to President Obama, are formally launching independent committees aimed at countering the onslaught of outside Republican organizations expected to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the 2012 presidential campaign.

Priorities USA and Priorities USA Action, the two companion committees, hope to raise $100 million to defend Obama, organizers said, an amount that will allow them to run ads competing with American Crossroads, the American Action Network, and other Republican-backing outside organizations.

The organization will not live up to the same campaign finance standards by which Obama has pledged to run its campaign. They will take unregulated donations that do not require disclosure; Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats have railed against Crossroads and other Republican groups that do the same thing.  The organizers said the 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, opening the door to unlimited corporate contributions, left them no choice.

I have said it before and I will say it again,

Do as I say, not as I do;

The mantra of the Obama Administration.
