Obama Cabinet Secretaries Say They Will Appear At Super PAC Fundraisers…
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.
The spokesmen for the cabinet secretaries all said their participation would not violate any campaign finance laws. It is illegal for cabinet members to raise money for candidates. It is not illegal, however, for cabinet members to simply appear at events.

Well that settles it for me. If there’s no legal issue that’s gonna cover that whole pesky sense of impropriety issue too, yes?
Sure it will.
BO ’12 – when Class is No Object
So why then if they are not permitted to campaign, why are they there?
The most “transparen”t administration should tell us, we would like to know.
“We’re appearing at an event where there is money being donated, but we are not touching the money.” Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Forget fuzzy math, we’ve got fuzzy ethics………
I want to hit fast forward so bad right about now and be reading the best seller of 2015, “The Worst wasn’t Bad Enough; On Beyond Carter”. Then again, if we the people get 2012 wrong, I could be reading “Screams from My Drones”.
He is such a rag tag pos, he needs the moral support.
On some level he knows the jig is up.
Criminals on parade.
If we get rid of all the socialist and communist in government who would be left ?
An all-star lineup of Communist ass holes at yet another “Groveling for Dollars” Demoncratic event. I guess the campaign donations never quit when you’re stealing from the Treasury, does it?
Bringing along his “pals” allows him to pass the buck and let someone else fall on the sword!
They’ll show up with baskets strapped to their backs like Peruvian farmers. If someone walks up behind them and drops a check or wad of cash in – and they don’t see it happen – no laws will have been broken.
It’s already preapproved by Holder and DOJ.
Well, the punk told us what he was…and was going to do, in
2007-8. The country listened, and white guilt put him over
the top. What will be the “excuse” by the Right if he winds
up preaching his redistribution napalm to us for the NEXT
four years? Conservatives have an “embarrassment” of
riches….but where the hell are they?
Having reneged on EVERY promise of “bipartisanship”
in the last four years… a lap-dog propaganda press
covers every visible carbuncle on his radical partisan ass
with creams, emollients, with vaselined lenses, while
screaming, “fire in the theater!!!” at ANY PEEP from the
Right.
Isn’t that illegal in about a hundred different ways?
And the whores congregate with their pimp.
Whatever “stash” Obama didn’t have the first time ’round,
he’ll have it THIS time.
Dear God, just look at the first two vile commies in the picture, and to think these filthy rats are basically controlling America. How will America survive if they are not thrown out in November! I can hardly believe it, it’s like living a nightmare.
This is typical democrap. Denounce everyone then do the same thing and call it for the greater good.
The cabinet asswipes are all walking up to the line between legal and illegal and waiting to be caught with their toes over the line. There is literally no aspect of democratic government these shitheads will not debase to keep power and control of the money.
Kinda like B.J. Clinton’s Cabinet that came out with pom-poms
and testimonials during the Lewinsky scandal…..Dems know
how to do this this s**t! Pubs run from every Foley like scared
rabbits……Dems use it to build their base. Chutzpah rules.
Did Panetta forget his dentures again?
The SCOAMF and his minions all a bunch of hypocritical motherfuckers?
Shocked, I am, shocked
Dick Tracies rougues gallery updated
who is that white haired guy in the photo?
Is this the 2nd time Obama has met with the cabinet in a year?
@Wooooo!!!!!
They’ll show up with baskets strapped to their backs like Peruvian farmers.
I stealing that comment.Damn, that was good.
To me, it’s not that suprising at all. Think about it, it’s all about protecting the lying, thin skinned, inept, spineless, clueless, could careless about The USA, union loving, Media Matter loving, Religion hater, (Unless it’s muslim), Non Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster responder, food stamp Champ (All for votes) giver, someone that calls Hawaii part of Asia, to say there a 57 States, recalled fire catching Chevy Volt loving, taliban building builder, embarrasses himself speaking in England, (ask the Queen), Isreal hating commie and Chief.
Okay, what is it, about him, not to like? Am I missing something?.. He seems like a cool dude.. (Sarcasm)..
Just more proof that Obama is all talk and everything he says is cynically contrived for his own political benefit.
The “looting” of America by these commie bandit’s continues!
@barbedwhyer
Alot of us keep asking the same thing. Conservatives are MIA, with a muti-year investigation here and there, and NO results!
Boner looking for kleenex, and Mitch the bitch looking for a chin!
We have a very heavy work load ahead!
Whooooah, this fairy tale is too grimm for my melon, dudes-
Puppets going out to raise cash from sheep dolls, all to benefit a really ugly puppet controlled by a mean little gremlin named Soros?
What do they call this one- Half white and the four marionettes?
all of obama’s liars thieves and whores/demonicrats be campaigning for the brown turd.
wait, I thought there could be no communication, no coordination between candidates and ‘independent’ super PACs?
must have confused that with some rule or law or something,
nothing to see, carry on

btw
disqus has easy way to add avatar, I’m too illiterate to figure WZ’s out, any clues?
Obama has the integrity and spine of a used dishrag : it is the only thing consistant about him.
Like the prostitutes have a choice.
Yea!
Let these bastards jump into the fire with their leader.
Happy days when they are all gone!
NWMN, I agree, souls are bought and paid for……
Looks like a police lineup of rape suspects only in this case the victim is the United States of America.
Every single one of those commie pieces of shit deserves to swing from the gallows as traitors.
Yep, Obama was against it before he was for it, so the liberal media says, OK. Has Obama EVER kept to his word?
