It would be one thing to generalize about a candidate being supported by special interest groups. For example, if Romney was getting a lot of money from big oil companies, or the NRA, or whatever, I think that would be fair game for Obama to bring up.
But for Obama to be naming private citizens is totally inappropriate. As the article says, "Politics is rough, but a president has obligations that transcend those of a candidate. He swore an oath to protect and defend a Constitution that gives every American the right to partake in democracy, free of fear of government intimidation or disfavored treatment. If Mr. Obama isn't going to act like a president, he bolsters the argument that he doesn't deserve to be one."
