President Obama recently decided to embrace so-called "super PACs" for his reelection campaign. This despite his prior position that such groups should be outlawed, on the argument that—as Justice Ginsburg recently implied—they "give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption."
Given this, I think at least one of three things must be true:
1) President Obama is corrupt;
2) President Obama is apparently corrupt; or
3) President Obama doesn't really believe that this kind of money gives rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption.
Which do you think it is, Mr. Gillette?
My own guess is number three. But at least one prominent campaign-finance reformer has lambasted Obama for "dancing with the devil" by employing this "corrupting tactic": Russ Feingold.

"The Obama administration has quietly unleashed a multiagency crackdown on medical cannabis that goes far beyond anything undertaken by George W. Bush."
A foolish drug war without end, apparently.
When contemplating these matters, it is hard not to remember that President Obama himself has admitted to smoking a lot of pot and doing cocaine (when he could afford it) in his younger days. Is this not staggering hypocrisy, Mr. Gillette?
