I think the McCain campaign should run an ad with just Russert's question ...
"Last year, you said, if you were the nominee, you would opt for public financing in the General Election ... and now, Senator McCain has said, calling your bluff, let's do it. You seem to be waffling ... why won't you keep your word -- in writing -- that you made ...?" - Tim Russert to Obama
Obama goes on to say that if he's the nominee, he would, "sit down with John McCain and make sure that we have a system that is fair for both sides."
... Yeah, right.

Way to get the picture bass ackwards. Unless, of course, you’re being sarcastic. |
|

He and his 13 cronies will have more money to make his sweetness and light commericals. Face it the Obama's are just cleaning up their act and to that it's gonna take a LOT of money. |
|
|
...is the worst kind of phony...the sellout kind. Which, to the libs, means he's "one of us"...which may be true. The rest of the country, not so much. Problem is, will they ever know it via the Obamedia. |
|
"I will send him a check tomorrow."
A Fool and his money are soon parted.
Anyway, if you think the libs delusional public image of Obama as some kind of polite, nice, and honest politician is representative of the real Obama then you obviously haven't read much of the backstabbing and duplicitous accounts of how he entered into politics in Illinois. Mind you, his Chicago style political maneuvers were performed against fellow Democrats.
Come on it's not really that hard to do a little research on Obama's biography -- given that it could largely be told in a pamphlet or brochure sized form. |

Finally! At last!
Now the GOP realizes that they need to be very afraid of Obama. Turns out he is just as good at rough and tumble politics as the Republicans.
This is the best news all day.
I am thrilled, relieved and delighted by this decision. I was so afraid that Obama would be too polite, too nice, too honest, too gentelmanly to go up against the GOP.
Thank God it now looks like he can fight down and dirty with the best of 'em!
This man will make a WONDERFUL President!!!!!
I will send him a check tomorrow. |

This is what I keep saying about Obama, he has no "WORD". This man has being "flip-flop" over and over again. When I was a child my father taught me that when you give your word you stand by it even if it hurst. But it seems that to this man giving your word means nothing. NOW AMERICA HEAR ME OUT, THIS THE MAN THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT? He has not a good reputation by with who he associates, he is constantly changing his position on the issues, his character is flaw,he lies and lies, he is a Marxist, and he is not a true believer in the LORD JESUS CHRIST. America shuold be very careful in whom they want to be the next President.

Which is why McCain and the RNC had better get busy. |
|
|
has very little to do with it. He started back tracking on this subject at the beginning of this year long before his primary race with Hillary was over. |
|
|
Can we start the Primaries over again? There isn't a decent horse in this race. |
|
|
refuse to accept any possibility that Obama could lose... |
|
|
Shouldn't Obama keep his own promises--at least until he's elected? |
|
|
Wasn't there some other GOP candidate that was really good at raising money, and managing it? |
|
|
need to start raising some serious money and quickly. |
|
...is probably that someone he knows who is now hugely in debt wants her self induced financial woes cleard up from his big pot of money.
He has to keep the donations flowing in if he wants to keep "she that shall not be named" from stabbing him in the back, front and sides from now until November. |

If you want true reform, do whatever you can to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. One hundred years ago, federal spending was 2.5% of GDP. Now it is 20%.
Reducing federal spending to between 5% and 10% of GDP (or less), that will provide lobby reform and campaign finance reform. If we reduce the power of elected officials (the money coming out), then we will reduce the amount of money spent on campaigns and lobbying. |

McCain should go with it. Obama needs to be percieved as what he is, a liberal Chicago machine Democrat. Rezko. Ayers. Dorhn. Pfleger. Wright.
And Kimbacle, how exactly did McCain break his own law? You think Team Obama or the Dems would hold back one iota if he did? |

Obama is rolling out his first GE ad. When you get a chance, check out the Hot Air blog post on it and treat yourself to the comments they're hilarious.

Two of my favorites were:
"Right… 'The country I love, and my buddy Bill Ayers [bombed] loves, and the country my pastor [curses] loves, and the country my wife [says is mean and she’s never been proud of] loves…'"
and
"Obama was a community organizer? I love the way the libs change terminology to take the edge of the real name. He was a political activist and agitator."

For someone who claims to be a new kind of politician that sounded like old school wishy-washy to me. After listening to it two or three times, it sounds to me that he is saying that "earlier in the year when I did not realize I could raise so much cash through the internet, public financing sounded like a good idea. But now that I'm kicking everyone's *ss in the fund raising department I'll have to give that a second thought (i.e., find some excuse to get out of it.)" |
