Ironic considering Obama’s public shaming of Rush Limbaugh.
(WaPo) — The top Democratic super PAC is still having trouble raising money, despite getting President Obama’s blessing.
Priorities USA Action, a super PAC founded by former White House aides, raised $2 million in February, co-founder Bill Burton confirmed Tuesday.
That’s a big step up from a dismal January, in which the PAC raised $58,000, but half of the $2 million haul came from from comedian Bill Maher’s $1 million donation.
In addition, February was the first month in which the group was raising money with Obama’s approval. After a long-standing public policy against super PACs, Obama announced in early February that he would embrace the super PACs, encourage donations to them and dispatch campaign aides and cabinet officials to the groups’ events.
