President Barack Obama will accept unlimited corporate contributions to help finance his 2013 inauguration, a shift from 2009, when corporate funding was barred and per-person donations were capped at $50,000.
The president's inaugural committee made the decision, which was first reported by Politico, because, they said, contributions from individuals alone would not raise enough to cover the price tag of all the events.
All that's missing is Jack Bailey to put the tacky crown on his head.
Seriously, this should be no surprise at all. Obama refused to abide by campaign limits in both of his elections, contrary to traditional Democratic Party principles.
However, when you are a narcissist like he is, you don't give a shit about "principles."
