The "spring break" president?
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 09:30 YouTube/Screenshot Obama is accused of spending too much time on frivolous activities in a new attack ad from a tea party group. “It’s time to put the adults back in charge,” says the narrator of a new attack ad from a conservative political action committee. “Sometimes Barack Obama seems to confuse being president with being on spring break,” he continues. “It’s time to retire the beer-summit, spring-break presidency.” The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama released this new advertisement just after the end second presidential debate Tuesday night, which saw Obama continue his campaign’s theme of painting GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney as out-of-touch and elitist. The ad takes the out-of-touch theme and turns it against Obama. The PAC’s ad notes that Obama has played more than 100 rounds of golf during his tenure. It also features clips of his “slow jamming the news” on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and other ...

Firefighters mad at Rep. Denny Rehberg over lawsuit
Tuesday, October 9, 2012 - 10:26 YouTube/Screenshot New ads, including this one from Majority PAC, make sure voters remember that Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., now a candidate for U.S. Senate , sued Billings and its fire department for fire damage to his property in 2010. U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg cost taxpayers in his constituency more than $20,000 when he and his wife sued the city of Billings, Mont., and its fire department in 2010 for damage caused to their property during a fire. Two new ads from Democratic outside spending groups are making sure voters don’t forget. Rehberg, a Republican who is challenging Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, ultimately dropped the suit, but he was nonetheless hit over the Columbus Day weekend with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ’s “ Only Out for Himself ” and Majority PAC ’s “ Always There .” Rehberg and his wife sued the City of Billings and the Billings Fire Department for equipment and property damage during a 2008 fire on Rehberg ...

The summer of super PAC money
Friday, September 21, 2012 - 12:39 AP Photo/Gerald Herbert President Barack Obama waves as he arrives to speak at a fundraiser at The House of Blues in New Orleans, Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Democratic super PACs have begun to make up ground in the political arms race, raising substantially more in August than they did during the previous month, new filings with the Federal Election Commission show. For much of the 2012 election cycle, Democratic super PACs have been outraised by their GOP rivals. The groups, made possible after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling , are allowed to collect contributions of unlimited size from individuals, unions and companies — so long as the funds are spent on advertisements that are not coordinated with any candidate. Priorities USA Action , the primary super PAC supporting the re-election of President Barack Obama, took in $10.1 million through the end of August. That’s up from $4.8 million in July. While the group finished ...
