And to think, up to one week ago Obama was vehemently opposed to super PACs.

Via The Hill:

Four Obama administration cabinet members suggested an openness to appearing at pro-Obama super-PAC events.

iWatch News at the Center for Public Integrity reports that spokesmen for Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Energy Secretary Steven Chu suggested that their bosses would be willing to raise money for the super-PACs.

A week earlier, after previously criticizing the legal ability of super-PACs to raise unlimited amounts money for their candidates, President Obama signed off on some of his wealthiest supporters donating to the pro-Obama super-PAC, Priorities USA.

Just think, these commie piggies will be using taxpayer dollars to attend these bundling sessions. This is definitely the most corrupt government America has ever seen.

Potential Hatch Act violations. Blatantly illegal, but typical of immoral, corrupt Democrats and their toadies.

For someone who has no regard for the Constitution or the separation of powers, bending the rules to use cabinet members for political fund raising is but a small step. The ever increasing and clear pattern of unchecked abuses of executive power by this tyrant should alarm everyone who in this country who cherishes their freedom. Wake up America!

If it is illegal for Obama to coordinate with or help his SuperPACs, it has GOT to be illegal for his direct reporting employees to do the same.

This is so blatently obvious, it makes one wonder HOW MANY lower-level executive branch employees of Obama are helping the SuperPAC's as well? That should be illegal too!
