And yet another flip flop by "the Obama" who not so long ago was totally against super pacs. But now that it's campaign time who is suddenly saying they are okay and please send him money? LOL

Let's all say it together: HYPOCRIT!

From the article:

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/06/10335949-obama-campaign-reverses-stance-urging-donations-to-super-pac

Excerpt:

The decision represents a stark reversal for Obama, who has been among the most vocal critics of these outside political spending groups since the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling that paved the way for the rise of super PACs.

Obama has led Democrats in opposition to these groups, especially at the height of 2010's congressional elections.

But now all of a sudden it's okay....because it's for him. LOL
