BILLIONAIRES FUND EFFORT TO OUST OBAMA, LINKED TO ROMNEY CAMPAIGN

(National Confidential) — Conservative billionaires are using their vast stores of money in an effort to remove President Obama from office.

Unleashed by the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United that removed limits on campaign spending, a team of the super-rich has been assembled by former Bush administration members in an unprecedented plot to take the presidency.


The leading group in this movement is American Crossroads GPS, led by former Bush insider Karl Rove. American Crossroads is in large part being bankrolled by the former head of Univision, Jerry Perenchio, hotelier Robert Rowling, and Swift Boat funder Bob Perry.

These donors are all multimillionaires, who would profit handsomely from a return to the conservative economics of the Bush era — some of the same policies that helped lead America and the world into a recession in the first place.

American Crossroads also shares personell with a pro-Romney group, the Restore Our Future PAC. While legally prohibited from working with Romney, a well funded attack on President Obama would be a boon to his campaign.

1. Mitt Romney needs a better wig.

2. What a bunch of clowns

They are wasting money (money they could be using to give better pay in their corporations) out of some fantasy that Obama isnt 'nice enough', or doesnt coddle their fat asses enough, when they are the only economic group thats better off now than before the financial crisis.

They are fucking stupid, and no matter how much money they waste there isnt a single Republican in the current bunch of clowns who can beat Obama in the election.

3. Buying democracy! Oh yes, how patriotic

4. If Obama did stuff that makes people want to vote for him the money would not matter nt

6. Who's to say he hasn't?

:shrug:

We have over a YEAR before the next election, so I'm not even sure how big a deal this is to begin with. Perhaps attempting to draw some blood? :eyes: The Repubs have been throwing the kitchen sink at him since day one and he still has a lot of support contrary to Roves wet dreams of him being a pariah.

7. Which is Why the Repiglickins Have Been Blocking Everything

If the Repigs can obstruct everything Obama tries to do, they win,
because everyone, including you, will blame Obama.

8. Some people blame Obama no matter what

Logic and common sense understanding be damned.

But if they feel they can't bring themselves to vote for him, then they'll get a Koch-approved President. Good luck if that happens.

9. No - this blocking of his programs is the result of Obama no playing hardball with rethugs

The stupid idea of bipartisanship at the expense of liberals and progressives that Obama embarked upon from the beginning of his administration was the encouragement the rethugs were seeking and Obama kindly obliged. He has never tried to nail the rethugs to the wall for all the things they did to the country and the world before he came into office and thus he has become saddled with those problems as his own by the same rethugs he let off the hook.

10. Obama Never Had That Kind of Leverage

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Wasn't Rove complaining about Obama starting his 2012 re-election campaign off early?

Yeah I know. Typical GOP hypocrisy and projection. However, it does seem somewhat strange that they're making such a huge push against Obama more than a year before the actual election. :shrug:

[TBF]

11. Unprecedented? The only thing unprecedented about this

is that they're doing it more publicly than usual.

12. They are wasting money
