I still think this is a first in terms of a list with a negative commentary posted on the President's website. If you can show me when this was done in the past, then I will admit that you are right and that the article was much ado about nothing.

yeah, cause i care if you think i'm right.
 you can google 'donor list' and get a list of any donors from a variety of campaigns. you'll also see various and sundry articles that refer to donations being returned when someone on the receiving end of money found that the donor was an unpalatable sort.matter of fact, we've even seen references in this room about the kochs and their donations. it's public knowledge. oh noes...someone supporting obama posted commentary. stop the presses. gimme a break. why don't you worry about stuff that has happened that is important, such as the law saying people can be detained indefinitely without charges? i have. but no, let's worry about some rantings from some chick who just knows that democracy is coming to an end because someone commented about a donors character. EDIT- by the way, if the president didn't make the list, isn't fooling with the website, how does that fit in with your first post saying the pres is 'bullying' and 'intimidating'?

 Look at McCain's campaign, and the right wing conservative organizations, over the President and Hillary's donors in 2008. Commercials made, ads made ...Look at the Bush years regarding donor wars. Go before that, they all have done it. This is something every single campaign does - point at the other guys supporters.

come to think of it, didn't the article cited in the thread opener mention nixons's enemies list? and didn't bush try to dig up dirt on a war critic? i'll have to look for that one.

Even though none of us approve of this type of thing (not to mention that it is illegal), it's not a big surprise that this type of thing goes on and has been going on for a long time, even before Nixon.

Notice not one donor in the piece has come forward to dispute what was written as lies. Seems like they would if any of it was not true, and they would file suit. if it is in fact true, then I think we have right to know who our candidates will be beholden to if elected. That goes for all candidates. Romney could do the same thing, and probably will. It is time to expose the real "people behind the curtain" and maybe then candidates will think twice before accepting donations from scumbags.
