George Soros Gives $1M to Pro-Obama Super PAC

He adds another $500K for congressional Democrats

(Newser) – Need more proof that deep-pocketed Democrats are finally coming around to the notion of Super PACs? None other than George Soros announced this afternoon that he's giving $1 million to the pro-Obama Priorities USA Action and another $500,000 to a pair of Super PACs backing Democrats in Congress, report Politico and the New York Times. Soros has been relatively quiet this campaign, but today's move might spur other rich Democrats to open their wallets in the final weeks, suggests the Times.

I find it a little ironic Newser makes the story of a $1.5M Soros' donation to three PACs while Adelson -- of Vegas and Macau casino fame -- hands over SIXTY million to one Romney PAC.  I guess it illustrates the maxim of putting your money where your mouth is?  And here George Soros has always been labeled that liberal illitist who's secretly backing all things socialist!

I wish Soros would give a bunch to UnPAC.
