Obama=Owned and Paid for by the Unions
Will Obama come out and attack the Unions for spending godly amounts of money to get Democrats elected or will he shut his lying pie-hole about the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Citizens United case? Obama attacked the Supreme Court during his State of the Union speech and had his claims refuted by his latest Supreme Court nominee. Priceless!

Obama loves the Unions and the Unions love Democrats, so don’t expect Obama to say a word about these facts. The Unions are spending more because they know the outcome for Democrats in November is looking very bad. They must keep these Democrats in office so they can continue stealing money from the American taxpayers in order to pay for their failing pension plans.
[...] Obama-backed unions outspent corporations 3 to 1, even after the Citizens United ruling. Isn’t it fun exposing liberal myths. Why didn’t the NYTimes make note of this? Some Democrats attributed their loss of the House majority in November to the flood of largely anonymous spending by conservative groups. They have been unsuccessful in rolling back aspects of the Citizens United decision in the courts or in Congress, where Senate Republicans last year blocked a measure known as the Disclose Act, which Mr. Van Hollen sponsored.
