| In close consultation with President Obama, two of his top political strategists are designing an ambitious new organization funded by donations from wealthy individuals and corporations aimed at making political and legislative gains at the federal and state levels. The fledgling Organizing for Action says it will be nonpartisan and steer clear of election activity. But the line between issue disputes and electoral politics can be a fuzzy one. The first of an expected wave of ads on gun control, for example, has targeted only Republicans. And OFA board member Jim Messina, who managed Obama’s reelection

They´re nonpartisan - - good for them!
It´s about time a well-funded political group had an even-handed approach to electoral politics.
Thank you, OFA - - we´re all grateful for your meticulous fairness.

Many of these companies rely on more than just liberal democrats to exist.
Liberals are about 20% of the population, so they don´t have majority appeal.
Need to point the finger at the liberal ideas an policies as harming the average worker, tax payer, and minorities, which they do.
Funny note, saw Lincoln, and notice how it was Northern Democrats who were against the 13th amendment the most? You realize they are now the liberal democrats who populate the Democrat party still looking to keep minorities down?

The thing is,Obama wants to do these far left agenda items,he just doesn´t want to do them for nothing. That violates the Chicago way of doing things where every favor requires one sort of kick back or another.
Who´s going to make the judgment that OFA is a partisan group and lose their tax free status? The corrupt FEC isn´t and Holder probably donates to this himself.
It´ll take another couple years but we´ll find out Obama raised well over a billion this last campaign and it will be a one day story.
Media Matters should have already been dissolved for advising justice dept. hacks.

Unlimited evil has been unleashed on the public; Beware if you are considering a run for political office as a GOPer.. they will investigate & lie about you, until you quit. Beware if you own a business voice opposition to any Obozo program... miscreants will be paid to harrass you.
OFA´s goal is to Silence the Lambs & replace all local GOP candidates with their chosen RINO´s.

"New political group"?
"Fledgling organization"?
Hasn´t OFA been reported as simply a re-naming of Stinky´s "Organizing for Obama" campaign operation?

You know that America´s youth that are part of this group. O. Organizing to Change America into a communist Utopian State. Really shameful that they are so unaware of history, and the horrific results of socialism/communism. Murder and Misery. So in the end, the O. youth are being paid to spread Misery among the American people with their all out use of Propaganda. Shame of them for this subversion, and for taking pay to spread hate and misery.

Nice business ya got there. Shame if it had an OSHA, IRS, SEC, EPA, SEC, EEOC, DoD and/or ICE audit. Besides, ya don´t want to have Organizing for Obama, oops, America, tell MSNBC´s Al Shapton and Chrissy Matthew about how you treat your employees, do you?
Obama is running a blatant shakedown racket, just like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. This can only be legal if a black supremist like Eric Holder is attorney general.

This is nothing more than the 2016 Obama for America reelection campaign. This organization is not about to spend money helping Democrat candidates will elections on 2014. The legacy press is so naive.
Obama cares only about Obama; he is the epitome of evil. He will not move on in 2016. Rather, he is with us to stay, and all his supporters, whether real or manufactured by the original OFA, will support him. The fix is still in.

Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia can finally agree on something. "He called me a whiner. He´s probably right," Garcia told Golf.com on Monday at the start of the week of the BMW PGA Championship in England. "But that´s also probably the first thing he´s told you guys that´s true in 15 years. I know what he´s like. You guys are finding out." On the same day that Tiger Woods uttered one word -- "No" -- to quickly dismiss the possibility of making amends over the pair´s verbal sparring during the Players Championship, the Spaniard kept swinging at

A federal court in San Francisco Tuesday struck down Arizona´s ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law violates a string of U.S. Supreme Court rulings starting with Roe v. Wade that guarantees a woman´s right to an abortion before a fetus is able to survive outside the womb. That´s generally considered to be about 24 weeks. Normal pregnancies run about 40 weeks. Several states have enacted similar bans starting at 20 weeks. But the 9th Circuit´s ruling is binding only in the nine Western states

CBS News has a piece quietly mocking a Benghazi whistleblower for writing poetry in a classic example of how the MSM marginalizes opponents of Barack Obama: Raymond Maxwell, who was one of Hillary Clinton’s State Department officials who was disciplined for security lapses vis-à-vis Benghazi, has been writing poetry since he was put on leave. Significantly, some of the poetry deals with Maxwell’s frustration at being made a scapegoat: The web of lies they weave / gets tighter and tighter / in its deceit / until it bottoms out - / at a very low frequency - / and implodes...

President Obama and his allies in the House and Senate may have failed in their attempt to channel shock and anger over Newtown into passing strict new gun control legislation, but it wasn´t for lack of trying. The quick pivot from tragedy to legislation is just another indication that one party has a knack for legislating while the other spends most of its time saying no, or offering watered down versions of its opponents´ legislation. That seeming inability to quickly connect moments of national outrage with meaningful legislation on the part of Republicans will be on display

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew was told about a government watchdog´s investigation of the Internal Revenue Service in mid-March but did not learn the full extent of its findings until they were released earlier this month. Lew told the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday that he first learned about the possible problems during a "getting to know you" meeting with the Treasury´s inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, on March 15. At that meeting, George ran down a number of items for Lew, including the potential for "troubling findings" in regards to the agency´s handling of tax-exempt applications

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”
