[T]his cycle, our campaign has to face the reality of the law as it currently stands.
Over the last few months, Super PACs affiliated with Republican presidential candidates have spent more than $40 million on television and radio, almost all of it for negative ads…
With so much at stake, we can’t allow for two sets of rules in this election whereby the Republican nominee is the beneficiary of unlimited spending and Democrats unilaterally disarm.

“We Will Not Play by Two Sets of Rules,” in which Jim Messina, Barack Obama’s campaign manager, announces that the President is authorizing all donors to give to the Priorities USA Super PAC. Basically, the President understands that, despite his dislike of Super PACs and Citizens United, he can’t fight the GOP with one arm tied behind his back. Further, this is the first time that the President has gone on record as supporting a Constitutional amendment “to place reasonable limits on all such [campaign] spending” and thus override Citizens United.
