Campbell Brown: Obama breaks his promise
CNN ^ | campbell brown

keep it up campbell! i might reconsider my feelings towards you! :)

(CNN) -- You may have heard that Wednesday night Barack Obama will be on five different TV networks speaking directly to the American people.

He bought 30 minutes of airtime from the different networks, a very expensive purchase. But hey, he can afford it. Barack Obama is loaded, way more loaded than John McCain, way more loaded than any presidential candidate has ever been at this stage of the campaign.

Just to throw a number out: He has raised well over $600 million since the start of his campaign, close to what George Bush and John Kerry raised combined in 2004.

Without question, Obama has set the bar at new height with a truly staggering sum of cash. And that is why as we approach this November, it is worth reminding ourselves what Barack Obama said last November.

One year ago, he made a promise. He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits.

Then it became clear to Sen. Obama and his campaign that he was going to be able to raise on his own far more cash than he would get with public financing. So Obama went back on his word.

He broke his promise and he explained it by arguing that the system is broken and that Republicans know how to work the system to their advantage. He argued he would need all that cash to fight the ruthless attacks of 527s, those independent groups like the Swift Boat Veterans. It's funny though, those attacks never really materialized.

Of course Obama broke his promise. Just like he will break his promise on not raising taxes on those earning less than $250,000 if he is elected (which he won't be)

It is easy to tell when Obama is lying - his lips are moving.



Obama-Lenin

Obama breaks his promise.

(Gomer Pyle voice) SUR-PRISE, SUR-PRISE, SUR-PRISE!

Wise up Campbell. If Obama gets elected, promises is the least of what he will break.

If she keeps this up, she will be investigated.

The Left loves the news media - when it is saying exactly what they want to hear.

At this point Campbell Brown could kill Osama bin Laden with her bare hands and that wouldn’t change my opinion of her.

Obama is a serpent...the Truth is not in him!

If he loses, we will have a brief reprieve.

But if he wins...all hell will break loose!

JMHO, of course!

I wish he would have bought that air time on 1000 stations. The only people who will be watching, will be his campaign staff, and folks who are already in the tank for him.

Thanks Barack. Best way to dispose of your ill begotten wealth I could think of. Well, I guess you could have burned it. That would be comparable.

She is married to Dan Senor who is supporting McCain (I would think)...so maybe he is rubbing off?

MCCAIN CAMPAIGN MUST POINT OUT

These 30 minute ads are paid for by Obama’s broken promises on campaign finance reform.

And now he is waving it in our faces by trying to buy up prime time TV.

It’s like they’re all trying to cover their asses...”see, see, we were fair!”

Exactly! Where was Campbell when Obama reneged on his promise? Now that the media figures the election is sewn up, they can begin their ritual orgy of self-recrimination for having gone into the tank for him.

I'm having none of it.

Is a hypocrite also defined as someone who knew all along why Obama was financing his own campaign, and waited until the last minute to mention it in her column?

Are you kidding me? The Marxists was a part of a socialist party. He sought out leftists and other Marxist, he said the Constitution was just a flawed document, he compared America to the Nazi regime, he said that the courts failed to bring redistributive change, he has refused to tell anyone about who he really is and THIS is what she writes about? Don’t let anyone fool you this woman does not have a just bone in her body. Is this article supposed to make everything even now after 2 months of mocking Palin and trying to make her look like a fool? Make no mistake about it, the Drive-Bys believe this is in the bag for Obama and want to APPEAR fair and balanced now. MSNBC was also lamenting how they Got “The One” elected. This is an absolute joke and anyone on this board giving this woman credit for this should be ashamed
