Obama taking outside labor money

Washington Post:

Labor Group to Air Radio Ads for Obama in Nevada

By Matthew Mosk
While labor unions have played a heavy role supporting Hillary Clinton and John Edwards during the early state contests this month, Barack Obama has largely had to fend for himself.

No longer. The group UNITE HERE, which represents 440,000 textile and hotel and restaurant workers, gave Obama his first national labor endorsement last week. And this morning, the group filed reports with the Federal Election Commission that disclosed it was producing more than $34,000 in radio ads to air in Nevada in advance of the caucus there.

Remember when Obama said outside groups were evil?

Good for him for taking the money now, but what a fucking hypocrite!
