  maybe you should read the website where it says:
  
  Unlike previous inaugural committees, the 2009 PIC does not accept contributions from corporations, political action committees, labor unions, federally-registered lobbyists, non-U.S. citizens and registered foreign agents and does not accept individual contributions in excess of $50,000. Bundling is also capped at $300,000 per donor.
  
  which means, before Obama, all the entities above (corporations, political action committees, labor unions, current federally-registered lobbyists, non-U.S. citizens and registered foreign agents) could donate at will, without repercussions, and there were no limits.
  
  and the republicans didn't have any problem with that.
  
  ya idiot.

    These people worked for companies and corporations. What is the difference?????
    
    As usual, the Dems sound good, but find a way around the back door to get donations.

      someone who works for a corporation and donates is NOT the same thing as the corporation donating. these people do NOT represent their company.
      
      so, actually, there's a big difference.
      
      duh.

        If you are a partner or senior officer just perhaps you received a bonus equal to the contribution.
        
        Oh, forgot, the Democrats are too pure for that sort of stuff.

        and now you're simply inventing a far-reaching scenario in order to justify your baseless claims.
        
        sad.
        
        very sad.
