The ruling is expected to unleash a flood of money into this year\u2019s congressional elections. Obama\u2019s fellow Democrats face a struggle to retain control of the Congress amid voter unhappiness over double-digit unemployment, a record deficit, political gridlock in Washington and other matters.  \u201cThis ruling opens the floodgates for an unlimited amount of special interest money into our democracy,\u201d Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.  \u201cIt gives the special interest lobbyists new leverage to spend millions on advertising to persuade elected officials to vote their way\u2014or to punish those who don\u2019t.
