		        President Barack Obama&#039;s decision to give his &quot;reluctant blessing&quot; to a super PAC supporting him, Priorities USA Action, has created something of a low-grade mess for his campaign team, which has had to spend the past few days fending off charges of hypocrisy from the press. This is understandable! President Obama, after all, famously defamed the Supreme Court&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Citizens United&lt;/em&gt; decision that has allowed these secretive organizations to flower and flourish. And the president has taken his share of shots from those on his side of the aisle as well: Russ Feingold characterized Obama&#039;s embrace of the super PAC system as &quot;dancing with the devil.&quot;
