BOWIE, Maryland -- President Barack Obama Thursday hit out at a wave of private and foreign cash swamping the US mid-term election campaign, urging backers to fight millions of dollars with millions of voices.
Obama stepped up his attack on the flood of outside money, often from unidentifiable sources and much of it financing opposition Republicans as they try to recapture Congress, pouring into races across the country.
"It could be the oil companies. It could be the insurance industry. It could be Wall Street. You don't know. Their lips are sealed. The floodgates are open, though," Obama said at a Democratic campaign rally in Maryland.
