16:27Now PlayingThe watchdog group Common Cause is calling on President Obama to shut down the outside group Organizing for Action after revelations the group is promising highend donors access to the White House. According to the New York Times, donors who contribute $500,000 or more will be appointed to the group's national advisory board, which meets four times a year with the President.
