Barack Obama has decided to approve the giving of donations to Priorities, USA, a Democratic Super PAC that could help him cover the tremendous budget gap between his campaign and the campaigns of the Republican challengers. Super PACs can accept unlimited contributions from corporations, businesses, etc., which gives them an edge when it comes to fundraising.
Obama needed money, so he took
A little from a source he may regret.
Now everyone is saying he forsook
His principles, and were I one to bet
Upon the verdicts of the right and left,
I’d say the same to each: campaigning is
Expensive, and I’d rather be bereft
Of promises than funding in a business
Favoring the one who can afford
Commercials, or a party. To the right:
Obama flipped, but everyone’s on board
With Gingrich; to the left, when you’ve a blight
Upon you, you are far too quick to blame
The right, but money wins. And you’re the same.
