Well, well, well. Situational ethics at their finest.

[Red Badger]

Didn’t they just file a lawsuit over McCains’s doing the same exact thing?......................

[yldstrk]

So Soros can contribute as much as he wants

[TomasUSMC]

Obambi doesn’t want any federal oversight after LARRY SINCLAIR outted him as a homosexual cocaine dealer...

Mr. Sinclair was arrested immediately after his Press Conference at the National Press Club by supposed U.S. Marshals...and whereabouts are unknown maybe in Delaware.

A man of his word, ping.

But, when “Whitey” does this, it’s considered a Bad Thing.

Stupid Socialists.

“McCain is hardly the first candidate to bypass federal funding for the presidential campaign. Current President George W. Bush did it in 2000, running against Al Gore, and again in 2004, when he faced Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, and nearly all candidates for the White House this year have elected to forego the public funding mechanism for their campaigns. Public funding provides presidential candidates with federal government funds that are to be used in both the party primary and in the general election.

According to the Federal Election Commission, federal funding of presidential campaigns began in 1976, but was first recommended by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907. Roosevelt also proposed a complete ban on private donations. With a spending limit of just over $50 million, candidates could find themselves limited in tough, closely contested primaries that require substantial amounts of money to remain competitive.”

[HoosierHawk]

He’s pathetic. Opts out of public funding, blaming McCain.

[kabar]

LOL. Gee, what a surprise. Obama has a huge advantage in fund raising and will not give it up to McCain who has turned off much of the GOP base and can't raise very much money. Hence, McCain's only choice is public financing. Obama would be stupid to give up his fund raising advantage. An only the Supid Party [GOP] would have its maverick as its standard bearer. You reap what you sow.

[SoFloFreeper]

Ooooh. Well, now he can spend all he wants. I wonder what liberals think about the huge amount of money in politics now.

Hey, just out of curiousity—I remember President Bush putting ON HIS WEB SITE the name of every contributor to his campaign and the amount they gave.

Is B. Hussein doing the same?

[NYC Republican]

Here's why H is gonna deal McCain a crushing victory... He comes out lying about the GOP 527s... McCain and GOP say NOTHING... In the previous elections (since CFR was enacted), the Dem 527s like Soros' groups, outspent the GOP by what, 20-1? And this sKum has the audacity to complain about GOP 527s...

That, in itself is not the reason he'll cruise to victory... nor is it the incredible discrepancy in funds, nor the MSM favoritism... It's the inability, or reticence, to fight back against these scurrilous charges... That's been Bush's downfall, and he's taken the GOP and conservatives along for a ride to rock bottom...

Lie after lie after lie? No response... Yellowcake? No response... War concocted in Crawford for political purposes??... no response... War for Oil???... no response... Tax cuts for the rich???... no response...

Seems like H can say anything he wants, with McCain wanting to just play nice. McCain's a disgrace. I despise him with everything I have... He doesn't have the fire in the belly to win, hell, even compete... What a disaster

[tobyhill]

Obama lies and then he turns around and blames the Republicans for the amounts of money involved in Presidential Campaigns.

[WesternPacific]

This may have been decided after a closed door meeting between The Hildabeast Clinton and Obama. The Hildabeast probably had to explained the very real possibility of getting more money from foreign Chinese supporters along with his radical muslim supporters then the U.S. taxpayer supplied federal funds.

[antiRepublicrat]

We can pretty much guarantee the reason isn’t because he wants to save the taxpayer money.

[popdonnelly]

I thought public funding was supposed to diminish the influence of private contributors.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Apparently, Obama has figured out that if you are a Democrat, you can completely reverse every thing you said previously, and still get elected.

[theDentist]

Is the DNC going to file charges?

[markman46]

flip flop bump

[Recovering_Democrat]

Why does he need public funding? He has all of these resources at his disposal:

B. Hussein Obama already has enough funding via the LameStream Media....and this is just a small sample of his propaganda machine. Factor in radio, local tv "journalists" and the nation's newspapers, and BHO has the media locked up. "In the Tank" is the best phrase to describe the situation.

[romanesq]

See cuz it’s the new political paradigm.
Not. I shall suck on the benefits of the George Soros brainwashed masses.

And the media will now find no evil with money. None whatsoever.

[tobyhill]

Fine! The idiots that give to Obama will be kicking themselves when he loses.
