Obama Reelection & Secret Donors

From: The Daily Caller

Comments from President Obama’s top spokesmen are coming back to haunt the White House Democratic strategists who announced Friday the formation of new groups to help re-elect the president without disclosing donors, a tactic Obama and other Democrats decried just months ago.

In October 2010, White House spokesman Bill Burton insisted that the president’s disagreement with the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling that allowed corporations to spend unlimited and undisclosed amounts on campaign speech was a principled one, calling the tactic “shadowy activity.”

“Unless a bright light is shined on the shadowy activity of these outside groups, people aren’t going to know the facts, which is that with their complete lack of transparency, Lord knows who’s participated in these races,” said White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said during a meeting with reporters on Air Force One on October 15. “And the president thinks that if you’re going to participate in politics, you ought to be transparent about it.”
