David Brooks is identifying some of the people who are bankrolling Obama. I don't expect, as Brooks notes, that any of those blinded by the light will care to know exactly how much Obama has zigged on campaign finance.
The media and the activists won’t care (they were only interested in campaign-finance reform only when the Republicans had more money). Meanwhile, Obama’s money is forever. He’s got an army of small donors and a phalanx of big money bundlers, including, according to The Washington Post, Kenneth Griffin of the Citadel Investment Group; Kirk Wager, a Florida trial lawyer; James Crown, a director of General Dynamics; and Neil Bluhm, a hotel, office and casino developer.
The story is simple. When Obama was 'for the little guy' he was all about campaign finance reform and talking about how evil rich Republicans want to buy everything. Now he's taking Hillary's money and all the big bucks he can. Slippery. Classic.
