Principles

Two years ago, on the subject of Super PACs, Obama said:

Thanks to a recent Supreme Court decision… special interest groups … are allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money on attack ads. They don’t even have to disclose who’s behind the ads. You’ve all seen the ads. Every one of these groups is run by Republican operatives. Every single one. Even though they’re posing as non-profit groups.

With names like Americans for Prosperity, the Committee for Truth in Politics, or Americans for Apple Pie. I mean ah, you know, I made that last one up. But this is why – look, this is why we’ve got to work even harder in this election. This is why we’ve got to fight their millions of dollars with millions of our voices. Voices that are ready to finish what we started in 2008.

Yet today he’s made a 180 and announced his support for a Super PAC of his very own. You know, because “they” have one, I need one too.

Principles: how the fuck do they work?
