WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s decision to launch his own political organization has some Democrats wondering: Is he just in it for himself?
Obama’s new group, Organizing for Action, will focus on his policy agenda — not on electing Democratic candidates — by raising unlimited amounts of cash and accessing the president’s secret list of 20 million supporters, volunteers and donors.
The operation won’t share money, resources or the priceless Obama email list with the Democratic National Committee or campaign committees that help elect members of Congress, governors and legislators. And it has no plans to coordinate efforts, leading some Democrats to worry that it will take money and manpower away from the party as it heads into the 2014 elections for control of Congress.
“There’s only so much money to go around in Democratic circles. There’s a limited pool of resources,” said Gilda Cobb Hunter, a South Carolina legislator and a member of the Democratic National Committee. “Why can’t we strengthen one entity?”
Several DNC members said in interviews that they weren’t told about Organizing for Action’s formation until it was publicly announced in January. They said that when they’d complained, they were chastised and told by national and state party leaders not to speak publicly. Most spoke to McClatchy Newspapers only on the condition of anonymity in order to talk candidly about the internal party dispute.....snip~
Democrats fear Obama group will siphon money from them | Latino Times
Personally I think both Parties should come together and crush him. Just so the Putz can understand.....he will no longer be relevant for the Future. Which is a good thing.....glad this is being put out in the Latin Times for all the Hispanics to see.
Either way ya gotta luv it when the Left starts taking each other apart. :lol:
