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.

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.

It is totally illegal for the President to use the resources of the government (such as the CIA) to try to dig up dirt on his enemies. If it was proven that the Bush White House did this, they could get in a lot of trouble. It will never be proven because there was is only one guy that claims that it happened. The other people who were asked about it, deny it or claim they don't remember. I bet the allegations are probably true. When a guys says he "doesn't remember", it is a pretty safe bet to assume that the alleged incidents did in fact happen.

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.
