Morning Examiner: The audacity of hypocrisy

Taken by itself, President Obama’s decision to ask donors to give money to his Super PAC, Priorities USA, could be interpreted as a pragmatic decision by a principled reformer. That is certainly how his campaign manager, Jim Messina, portrayed the decision at The Huffington Post: “With so much at stake, we can’t allow for two sets of rules in this election whereby the Republican nominee is the beneficiary of unlimited spending and Democrats unilaterally disarm.”

But Obama has now been in politics long enough that he has a track record of actions we can check his rhetoric against. And the two don’t match.
