WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is condemning a decision by the Supreme Court to roll back restrictions on campaign donations by corporations and unions. In a written statement, Obama says the campaign finance ruling will lead to a "stampede of special interest money in our politics." Obama declared that his administration will work with Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress to come up with a "forceful response" to the high court's

FUBO

[jessduntno]

When did he say this, after his closed door meetings with the Unions?

[BigEdLB]

I am still trying to confirm the SCOTUS dumped the 30 & 60 day PAC advertising moratorium as well...

[True Republican Patriot]

When is the RNC or Government Agencies going to convist this KENYAN VILLAGE IDIOT for employing massive foreign contributions to get his own butt elected?

[romanesq]

Guess this means corporate money exceeds union and Saudi funding.

Since when did a President condemn Supreme Court decisions?

[Boston Blackie]

No problem, he’ll just abolish the USSC by Executive Order.

Of all politicians, Oboma has the least creditability when it comes to campaign finance issues.

[Dems_R_Losers]

I sure hope Wells Fargo and Bank of America run a crapload of ads this fall against all Democrat candidates. They were forced to take the TARP money and have been demonized by this fake President and his clown college on Capitol Hill.

"stampede of special interest money in our politics."

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

Oh wait! What am I thinking?

That would be racist of me to say such a thing.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

If Zero disagrees then it must be correct. It's that simple.

[RonF]

Frankly I’d rather not see either corporations or unions have broad powers to financially contribute to elections. So in this case I’d say even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[screaminsunshine]

Bust the Unions! Stick Obama with a fork.

[SmokingJoe]

Obama says the campaign finance ruling will lead to a “stampede of special interest money in our politics.”

SEIU money?
Oh wait, SEIU(and other unions) already regularly pump hundreds of millions of dollars into Democratic Party candidate's elections, including Obozo’s campaign, and the just ended Martha Coakley's campaign.

[manc]

does deals with unions
took money from overseas
took money by the way of pre paid credits and under 200 so no one could verify where the money came from.

but this decision he’;s pissed because he doesn’t get much from it

“Obama declared that his administration will work with Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress to come up with a “forceful response” to the high court’s”

Probably McManiac and Graham.

When you are “The One” you don’t need a Constitution!!!!!!!

[Mobties]

No surprise. Let us all pray that Scott Brown’s vote in the Senate will give us some assurance on Obama's future Federal court nominees.

BTW has anyone heard any commentary yet from Maverick who co-wrote this monistrosity or President George W. Bush who signed it into law?

[massgopguy]

Only if you effect a Negro Dialect.

[RonF]

Are unions considered corporations under this ruling? Are they considered a “special interest” by Pres. Obama?

[Servant of the Cross]

Exactly. The "Separation of Powers" is not complex, and is very foundational to our Constitution.
