[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]"Don't hate the player, hate the game" doesn't even make sense in this case.

He actually hated the game -- now is joining the game -- again.  He did this with the public financing issue too.  While he tries to say it isn't politics like usual it acutally is politics like usual.

I love how you say Obama wants to make the rules more fair for everyone.  Please show me where he has ever proposed campaign finance reform beyond just speaking abou tit.  Please show me where he has had either the Democratic controlled Senate or Democratic controlled House (previously) even consider one of the campaign finace reforms he has given lip service to.

I don't falut him for that but rather just realize he is a poitician who flip-flops and his name is not Romney.[/quote]

In 2010, after criticizing the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling directly to the face of Supreme Court justices in his State of the Union address, Obama supported the DISCLOSE Act which would partially undo Citizens United. The House passed the act:

However, in the Senate, every Republican joined in a filibuster to prevent a vote on the Act:

I believe this directly answers your request to "show me where he has had either the Democratic controlled Senate or Democratic controlled House (previously) even consider one of the campaign finace reforms he has given lip service to. "

You are kidding right?  THAT is your example?  In 2010 the Dems were in control of the Senate.  Don't try to blame a filibuster when Reid couldn't even gurantee that he could bring his OWN people to the table!  If he can't get cloture on a bill the leader of his own party would like than it is his problem, not the minorities problem.
