President Obama’s new “non-profit” campaign organization is going to be funded by unions and Hollywood, according to The Hill. I know, you’re shocked!
Labor unions and Hollywood donors are open to bankrolling Organizing for Action, the outside group that has been formed in support of President Obama’s second-term agenda.
Traditionally one of the biggest donors to Democrats, unions are considering putting their financial weight behind the group as it tries to harness the grassroots power of Obama’s reelection machine.
“If Organizing for Action mobilizes or communicates on issues that are directly germane to or beneficial to the interests of professional firefighters, we would consider supporting the effort,” said Kevin O’Connor, head of governmental and political affairs for the International Association of Fire Fighters.
“We want to work with every partner that we can to advance the agenda of working families,” said Brandon Davis, the national political director for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Organizing for Action will reportedly have access to the voter database that helped the president win the White House again in his more than $1 billion reelection bid. Jon Carson, who worked in the White House Office of Public Engagement, is the group’s executive director. (Read More)
Don’t you love the way they call Organizing for Action an “outside” group? It’s made up entirely of the president’s campaign, but we’re supposed to think of it as somehow separate from him and the White House. What a joke.
Michelle Obama dropped her "Let's Move!" campaign is because her husband is no longer running for re-election and now she can put more noticeable energy into those goals that she has been waiting for. Barack and Michelle will rub a lot of elbows with the rich and famous in Hollywood. The youth will think this is "cool" and the media will talk up how modern and accessible they are to the younger generation.
What fun!
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
