Politics can be a dirty business full of unfounded accusations thrown at candidates and office holders. Sometimes candidate throw mud in person, sometimes by proxy, sometimes in a leaked memo.
In this case, the latest Obama memo wasn’t leaked to the press. The memo was left behind at a rally in Iowa where we found it in a waste paper basket. The memo was by Barack’s campaign manager, David “X-File” Plouffe and attacks me and John Edwards regarding campaign contributions.
Here’s the juicy parts of Plouffe’s memo, which we’ll leak to the press, saving him the trouble.
“Heading into the final stretch before the Iowa caucuses, millions of dollars in third party spending are pouring into the state in an unprecedented attempt to benefit the campaigns of John Edwards and Hillary Clinton.”
Duh. The only reason Obama’s campaign brings this up is because no one outside of Iowa wants to see him win in Iowa so they don’t send him contributions.
Plouffe’s memo continues:
“For Clinton, AFSCME, EMILY’s List and the AFT have spent over $2.6 million to assist her campaign – even as AFSCME attacks Obama for a position on health care mandates that they themselves have.”
What’s with all the acronyms? How am I supposed to know what any of that means? Wait. There’s more.
“This unprecedented level of outside spending could impact the outcome in Iowa and New Hampshire, and we believe voters in these states deserve to know exactly how much is being spent, where it’s coming from, and who’s benefiting.”
Let me see if I remember where Oprah lives. Oh, yeah. NOT in Iowa, so all of Oprah’s contributions to Barack’s campaign in Iowa is money that didn’t come from Iowa.
That’s like the pot calling the kettle black.
