I heard that. I think Moveon.org is a criminal enterprise and should be put out of business, just like Acorn. "We raised 88 million dollars for you, Mr. Obama. Now you have to do what we say."

I doubt there is any sort of enforceable commitment that they can show: "We raised 88 million dollars for you, Mr. Obama. Now you have to do what we say." Mr Obama can say, "Thanks for your help, but sorry folks, that didn't mean you own my decisions". They can refuse to give him further help for next election but running as the president gives him an inside track anyway and they won't want to support Jeb Bush or Sarah in 2012. Mqurice PS: After King George II, I doubt Jeb will be in the running. Personally, I thought Bush was okay. He certainly kept blowing the budget, which isn't my style, but the main problem was people making their own choice to borrow far too much to buy houses which were obviously far too expensive.
