Surprise! Hussein Breaks Campaign Finance Promise - With Video
This guy spent most of 2007 arguing in favor of the public financing system and promising to support it should he become the party’s nominee. Now that it looks like he’s the nominee…
“Fuck You, Bitches!” Hussein yelled, as he publicly threw a promise under the bus.
This guy…after all of that promising he did regarding this issue while campaigning for the nomination last year, to so blatantly break that promise should be one more indicator to voters that this guy is a lying sack of shit who will promising anything to get elected.
Once he’s elected (God forbid), America will be at the mercy of his true agenda(s).
WASHINGTON— Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Thursday he’ll bypass the federal public financing system in the general election, abandoning an earlier commitment to take the money if his Republican rival did as well.
Obama, who set records raising money in the primary election, will forgo more than $84 million that would have been available to him in the general election. He would be the first candidate to do so since Congress passed 1970s post-Watergate campaign finance laws. Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee in waiting, has taken steps to accept the public funds in the general election.
Obama officials said they decided to take that route because McCain is already spending privately raised funds toward the general election campaign. Obama has vastly outraised McCain, however, and would likely retain that advantage if McCain accepts the public money.
The public finance system is paid for with the $3 contributions that taxpayers can make to the presidential fund in their tax returns.
“It’s not an easy decision, and especially because I support a robust system of public financing of elections,” Obama told supporters in a video message Thursday. “But the public financing of presidential elections as it exists today is broken, and we face opponents who’ve become masters at gaming this broken system.”
Here’s the video, try not to puke:
Obama said McCain and the Republican National Committee are fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and political action committees.
“And we’ve already seen that he’s not going to stop the smears and attacks from his allies running so-called 527 groups, who will spend millions and millions of dollars in unlimited donations,” Obama said.
Obama has raised more than $265 million thus far.
Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer said he had met with McCain lawyers to discuss terms for both campaigns operating in the public financing system, but he said they could not agree on how to limit spending by the campaigns and outside groups heading into the late summer party conventions.

June 19th, 2008 at 12:11 pmLIES LIES LIES If Barry could figure out how to swindle the fund of public finance of elections he would. As he speaks he is working on breaking it off in the poor bastards asses and then will retire comfortably to a haven of democratic inepts. Where he will buy a house where they all can live. Not a house of glass for transparency, but one of darkness and bullshit where the musheooms can keep breeding like the bastards they are. Barry, you are a hero of sorts, you rob from the oppressed to feather your own black muslim hate america house and your not afraid to step on anyone to further yourself. Like teats on a swine, once taken it is dog eat dog to survive. Only words but all of yours are LIES LIES LIES.
