Obama will throw his support behind the SuperPAC, Priorities USA?

On the issue of SuperPACs – President Obama is realizing he has to play the game too. Obama – once weary of SuperPACs – will throw his support behind Priorities USA – a SuperPAC working to have him re-elected.  As Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said to supporters, “We can’t allow for two sets of rules in this election whereby the Republican nominee is the beneficiary of unlimited spending and Democrats unilaterally disarm.” 

He’s right – and that’s the sad reality in American politics now thanks to Citizens United.  Maybe after more than a billion dollars is spent in the 2012 election – people will realize big money undermines democracy.
