On Tuesday, a lawyer for President Barack Obama filed a compliant with the Federal Elections Commission over Karl Rove’s organization, Crossroads GPS. Robert Bauer, the Obama campaign’s chief counsel, claimed the organization was unlawfully hiding its donors from the public by masquerading as a “social welfare” organization.

Non-disclosing for thee; not for me!...

Obama campaign requests outside Republican group disclose donors

Quote:

“There has never been any doubt about its true purpose: to elect candidates of its choice to the presidency and Congress,” Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer wrote in his complaint to the FEC, posted online by the New York Times on Tuesday alongside the letter to Crossroads GPS that accompanied it.

Obama’s re-election is being helped by Democratic groups that enjoy a similar tandem relationship: sister organizations Priorities USA Action, the monthly reporting Super PAC; and Priorities USA, the non-disclosing nonprofit.

“Folks would do well to consider this a goofy sideshow until Obama sends the same letter to Priorities USA – the group modeled after Crossroads but which supports the president,” Crossroads spokesman Jonathan Collegio said.

“In the end, Obama doesn’t care about the campaign laws; he only cares about silencing conservative groups that are holding him accountable for his failed record.”

In other words, the president, who gets support from a non-disclosing SuperPAC, is complaining about a SuperPAC that does the very same thing, but DOESN'T support him...

Like that hypocrobamacy?...MY people can do it, but YOUR people can't?...

The only problem I have with SuperPacs is the transparency issue. They All, Democratic, Republican or other should be required by Law to disclose their donors to the public. If one side out raises the other then so be it, No one was complaining on the left in 2008 when Obama was killing McCain in money. But if there is outside interests such as Saudi Oil Companies or Foreign Corporations filtering money to an America election the public has a right to know. I don't care if they spend 20 billion dollars on an election as long as it's American Dollars they are spending.
