Let’s see..... back when Obama was pretending to be a principled reformer, i.e., when he didn’t think he could out-fundraise any Republican nominee, he pledged that he would be part of the public financing system which has been pushed by all the ‘reform’ minded leftists for a long time.

Now that he has found he can raise much more $$ than McCain, suddenly Obama’s “principles” go by the wayside..... and the MSM isn’t freaking out the way they would trash any R. who had broken such a pledge.

So we see that Obama’s “principles” amount to “whatever I can get away with” and “anything I need to do to win”...... well that sounds like a really principled reformer to me.

You've been here since 2001. You can't possibly pretend to be shocked by any of the foregoing. ;)

That should make many people here very happy. After all, we have been told for months that it isn't about 'principles' at all, but about 'electability'...

Well said. We should be getting this to the media and demanding they show some balance and spine on this issue. Obama is a hypocrite, pure and simple.

This reminds me very much of Bill Clinton, whose principles were, well, flexible...to put it as charitably as possible.

Of course, Hillary is no better...
