Once staunchly opposed to super PACs, Obama now is embracing one set up for his campaign. His reasoning is unassailable: They work. Yes, this is cynical and hypocritical, but mostly political (hey, I’m channeling Jackie Chiles!) On many issues, Obama’s views have evolved -- even reversed -- from his messianic days as candidate to the grubbier business of governing. So it goes with all presidents. I'd suggest a campaign slogan that acknowledges this while still hearkening back to the happier days of 2008.

"Obama '12: Beliefs we can change in."
