Pat Caddell, furious over âhypocritesâ in the White House, unloads on Obama Veteran Democratic operative Pat Caddell is unloading on the White House, saying heâs had enough with the president whose âhypocrisyâ on campaign finance âis just mind-blowing.â President Obama has made a point while campaigning to call out conservative-leaning groups for hurting the integrity of elections by not voluntarily disclosing donors. Caddell says Obama has no room to talk. âMy problem with Obama started the day he blew up public financing of presidential campaigns,â Caddell said in an interview with The Daily Caller. âHeâs the man whose done the most to destroy whatever integrity there was in campaign financing.â Obama declined public funding of his presidential campaign in 2008. The administrationâs attacks, Caddell said, on groups like the Chamber of Commerce and donors like the conservative Koch brothers reek of McCarthyism.âI was the youngest person on Richard Nixonâs enemies list. I take this stuff seriously. What theyâre doing is Nixonian â itâs McCarthyite,â he said. Caddell, who has worked for a number of presidential campaigns, including Joe Bidenâs in 1988, said making outside money an election issue is a risky strategy for the Democrats. âYouâre 21 days out from an election and this is what youâve got? Thatâs it? Nothing about jobs or the economy?â It wonât be pretty for his party, Caddell says. âCome the morning of November 2, theyâre going to have a cold shower. Itâs going to be an Arctic temperature.â Caddell also took a swing at Obamaâs inner circle. âThese are naive idiots whoâve come out of academia and have never done anything real in their lives, and they are actually in power,â he said. âThese are the people we never let in the room when we had serious business to do. Now theyâre running the country.â Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2010/10/14/p...e-white-house-unloads-on-obama/#ixzz12SA5rKGH
Its funny how dems bitch and moan about corporations being able to provide campaign financing/ad financnig while they love the fact that unions are allowed to do the same thing. The first time i hear of a dem bitching about the teachers unions financing adds/campaigns i might actually take them seriously. They have absolutely no problem taknig money from special interests/lobbyists as long as its their special interes/lobbyist groups.
Disappointment? Surprise? Can't imagine why... after all, Obama has LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.. except about "fundamentally transforming the USA"... (Into a Communist-like economy and culture.) Great... the ONE thing he doesn't lie about is catastrophic for the country...
