Just an hour ago this tweet was sent from Barack Obama’s twitter account:
 

 
Michael Brendan Dougherty at Business Insider was right on top of it:

Barack Obama’s twitter account sent out a message late tonight urging his supporters to put pressure on the Charles and David Koch–the wealthy libertarian business–to disclose the list of contributors to Americans for Prosperity, their main vehicle for political activism.
 
Americans for Prosperity is like many political groups on left and right, able to accept private and anonymous donations. They aren’t doing anything illegal, but for political reasons the Obama’s team, and now Obama himself are pressuring them to do something they aren’t obligated to do.
 
It’s the latest flare-up between Team Obama and the Koch’s in an escalating public relations war.
 
Philip Ellender, president of government & public affairs for Koch industries, has been going back and forth with Obama’s campaign manager in open letters over the past week.
 
Last week, Ellender released an letter responding to Koch criticism from the Obama campaign. It read in part:
 

“It is an abuse of the President’s position and does a disservice to our nation for the President and his campaign to criticize private citizens simply for the act of engaging in their constitutional right of free speech. The implication in that sort of attack is obvious: dare to criticize the President’s policies and you will be singled out and personally maligned by the President and his campaign in an effort to chill free speech and squelch dissent.”

 
But tonight’s tweet, sent out to over 12 million “followers” really changes the complexion of things. There aren’t exactly rules for this sort of politics, but it does seem odd to have the nation’s chief executive exerting this kind of pressure on law-abiding (if very wealthy) citizens who disagree with him.

“Odd?” This man is a total disgrace to the office of POTUS. And downright Machiavellian.
