Another Obama Flip flop? 527 Attack Group Formation

HT to The Dude:
For months now, Barack Obama has been backtracking on his Primary Promises to Americans. The “post-partisan”, can’t we all just get along community organizer with a heart of gold, has been replaced by the petty old-style politician, clamoring for attention and demeaning and demonizing his political opponents.

So much for “A new kind of politics”

Obama Campaign Calls in the Calvary

That’s because, after a year of telling donors not to contribute to 527 groups, of encouraging strategists not to form them and of suggesting that outside messaging efforts would not be welcome in Obama’s Democratic Party, Obama’s strategists have changed their approach….

The upshot: Obama’s campaign will no longer object to independent efforts that hammer John McCain, just as, in their mind, the McCain campaign has not objected to those efforts targeted at Obama. “I assume with their 527s stirring, some [Democratic] ones will as well,” another senior campaign official said…

The money is there. The top two 527s — the Service Employees International Union and America Votes — are liberal in orientation.


So much for that call for a new kind of politics....the new politics looks ALOT like the old politics....Barry lies again....
