Not only will Barack Obama be the first presidential candidate since Watergate to bypass public financing, he is reneging on an earlier promise to participate in public financing during the general election.
Obama seems to have a real problem with telling the truth. He repeatedly says one thing and then does another when it behooves him. He signed an oath to not campaign in the state of Florida, but then purchased national TV spots that ran in Florida. He also said that he could no more disown Rev. Wright than he could disown the black community. A month latter he did just that.
When Obama is elected this November and then promptly reverses himself on his pledge to remove the troops from Iraq, no one should act suprised. Saying one thing and then doing another is what Obama does.
You can bank on it.
Not a classy move, but the obvious smart choice when you consider the fact that McCain can’t possibly match Obama’s fundraising capabilities. That old dude’s ability to handle finances are about on par with his ability to set the recorder to tape Mattlock.
The ability to out spend his opponent didn’t do Obama a lot of good in some of the swing states. Obama needs to show the American voters that he can be trusted. That he will do what he says he will do.
I think at the end of the day, this announcement only helps John McCain.
