   Another side affect of Citizens United, keeping up with the likes of the Koch brothers and Adelson’s millions in donations.
   But then fair is fair.

   Tell me ONE President of the 20th, or 21st century that this has NOT applied to…

   I’m guessing Truman… but I still don’t like the trend.

   @ Masterkrain – it wasn’t until SCOTUS ruled in favor of corporations that Superpacs like the one depicted here and under Mr. Ramirez could form. Money has always been a corrupting part of politics, now it’s just gotten worse.

   (cut and paste from my comment under Ramirez…..)
   If you can’t fight the gov’t by superpac, join gov’t by superpac.
   Eisenhower warned about the use of money in politics in his farewell address. We have indeed gotten to the point where we have the best gov’t money can buy…it’s just that the people buying the gov’t are the ones who are remodeling it. The SCOTUS did not do our nation a service with their Citizen’s United ruling.
   Respectfully,
   C.

   So because many did it before it is the right thing to do? Ethics, honor, morality all things of the past before presidents came into power?
   
   If Obama were to place that money into the general fund for the use of all – since he IS a public servant and our employee under contract then all work he does and any money he recieves for that work _while under contract – belongs to the US Treasury and NOT his political party.
   
   NO, I would prefer that the president be available to anyone at no cost IF his busy schedule allows it. Even his best buddies.

   How soon will Barack Obama have a hoops summit with Dennis Rodman?

   I thought it was going to be all about Hope and Change?
   I don’t see any Change( and apparently neither do you).
   As far as Hope, Americans are still Hoping that O can keep the promises he made during his campaigns.

   Obama’s huge price tag is evidence of the futility of trying to keep money out of politics.
   .
   Money will find a way in, and a complex system of regulations only gives the advantage to politicians who are devious enough to find a way to circumventing them.

    Just contact your Congressperson for a tour ticket. But who gets a “sleepover” has always depended on “contributions”. Of course, in 1812 the British did the biggest makeover of the house, Cheney just tried to sell it, and now Boehner is still looking for offers.

    Could use the same drawing, different president, at least since 1980. Shows both parties are contaminated by the fascist Plutocrats.

    Isn’t the election over? O needs to learn to LEAD.

    @Ms. Ima

    Lead how exactly as you determine it?

    Obama has taken it to a new level.

    @Night-Gaunt49

    He’s not leading. He’s not governing.
    He’s out every day campaigning, like he isn’t connected to his policies. Always saying what he’s “going to do” to fix things that “someone else” did.
