Notes from the Noank Jail

A few days ago, the DAY wrote an editorial concerning President Obama announcing his 1 Billion dollar campaign. The article pointed out that he had not been in favor of the move by the Republicans to allow major contributions to political campaigns by business organizations. Now, he was possibly taking advantage of the situation himself, although much of his campaign financing will be “grass roots.”

I think it is actually amusing to see President Obama utilizing the Citizens United ruling, by a 5 to 4 vote, which does now allow major corporate donations to political campaigns. In essence, he is using the Republican’s tool to actually fight them on their own ground.

Poetic justice!
