Obama Flip-Flops on Super PACs

The Spectacle Blog
The House Republican leadership team has presented a united front against Nancy Pelosi's proposed rules changes that would make it harder for the minority to have any voice in legislating and easier for committee chairmen to wield their gavels for life. "President Obama has pledged to lead a government that is open and transparent," the leaders wrote in their letter (pdf) to Speaker Pelosi. "This does not represent change; it is reverting back to the undemocratic one-party rule and backroom deals that the American people rejected more than a decade ago."
That's exactly the right tone to strike, though there is little time to generate public outrage over a power grab that may seem more like an arcane rules change and little that can stand in the way of such a large Democratic majority. One-party rule isn't likely to turn out to be "change" you can believe in.

Those dumb liberals! They know that, after the initial hangover, they'll lose every election deep into this century. But that won't prevent them from being a nuisance like fleas or lice.

But I thought Obama said Politics of Change meant reaching across the aisle. I guess Nancy didn't get the memo.

Hey vingge -- stop polluting this blog site with your advertisements. Every blog post I click on I see your attempt at freeloading off of Amspec. (And, by the way, the post makes absolutely no sense.)
Now, on the actual topic at hand -- good for the GOP that they are actually standing up to Pelosi who says one thing ("inclusive, bipartisan") out of one side of her mouth and then does the exact opposite. Will the media actually cover this? We can only hope for change.
