Partisan Hack-In-Chief Whines About GOP Opposition To Disclose Act
Written By : William Teach

This is getting truly tiresome. In all my years, I have never seen such a thin skinned partisan sitting in the White House, constantly attacking anyone/any group who opposes his viewpoint. Even Clinton never went this far. High school student body presidents act more presidential than Obama does

President Obama called out Senate Republicans on Monday for holding up a vote on a contentious piece of campaign finance legislation.

Senate Democrats plan to vote on cloture for the Disclose Act on Tuesday, though it remains unclear whether they have the 60 votes necessary to end debate.

Democrats need at least one Republican vote, which they so far lack.

“You’d think that making these reforms would be a matter of common sense,” Obama said in brief remarks from the Rose Garden. “But of course this is Washington in 2010, and the Republican leadership in the Senate is once again using every tactic and manuever they can to prevent the Disclose Act from even coming up for a vote.”

“A vote to oppose these reforms is nothing less than to allow a corporate and special interest takeover of our elections,” Obama said.

As Warner Todd Huston, Tammy Bruce, and so many others have pointed out, the DISCLOSE Act is blatantly unconstitutional, violating, at the least, the 1st and 14th Amendments. It will chill free speech, gives certain groups a pass on following the rules, and if it passes, will certainly have multiple lawsuits filed against it before the day Obama signs it.

Of course, predictably, the Washington Post comes out in favor of , mentioning a conservative group, but, what about Move.on and other left wing groups? They’ll get a pass. The little guy won’t. Unions will. Grassroots won’t. News organizations will. This bill is, quite frankly, a way of protecting Democrat elected officials.

    When Democrats oppose something, it's “good.” When Republicans oppose something, it's “evil.”

    Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

    Is it just me or did Obama come off awfully bitchy in that quote?

    “A vote to oppose these reforms is nothing less than to allow a corporate and special interest takeover of our elections,” Obama said.

    Which as we all know is far worse for us than a union and community activist takeover of our elections. I have to wonder if Mr. Obama can disagree with someone or some group without resorting to demonising them. He seems to have a very limited repertoire of debate tactics at his disposal.

    Or his speechwriters are just so hackneyed that he's stuck in an endless loop of name calling and awfulising.

    I like the principle behind the DISCLOSE Act, just not its loopholes. Either apply it equally to everyone or drop it.
