(5,272 posts)the OP. Own that you were supporting a post saying we need to take corporate money. You can believe that, and we can debate that, but why are you walking away from that?
Okay, on a reread, I'll leave the above, but I did misread that post you were responding to. He's talking about individual wealth I assume, not campaign money. Unfortunately the question of propriety is a problem. You can see where I stand on Obama in the specific, on this matter in my other posts, but I do not like the way things work here. It would not be hard for a politician to take a bribe like this. It is almost certainly done-NOT BY Obama, I truly don't believe he did it as a quid pro quo, but it does not help us to bludgeon the GOP. That's the only point of my original post, and I'm not sure why its so controversial.
