The current campaign finance law is producing more and more SuperPac money onto the scene. The latest involves a neophyte billionaire who decided he wanted to make his mark on the national stage and he allotted ten million dollars to finance a negative ad against the President and hired an experienced political ad man to draw up a proposal. Apparently he got more than he bargained for as the GOP candidate was critical of it and distanced himself from it. The fallout continued as one of the billionaire's sons happens to be the chief executive of the Chicago Cubs baseball team who is in negotiations with the City of Chicago for upgrades to the Wrigley Field baseball stadium. The mayor of Chicago just happens to be a close friend and former colleague of our President and reportedly was furious that the "family" would stoop to such an enterprise and refused to take the team owner's calls.
One writer opined that to be on Rahm Emanuel's black list was not a comfortable place to find oneself.
As if the Cubs didn't have enough trouble winning ball games.
