Obama to Break Promise, Opt Out of Public Financing for General Election

ABC News reports:

"We've made the decision not to participate in the public financing system for the general election," Obama says in the video, blaming it on the need to combat Republicans, saying "we face opponents who’ve become masters at gaming this broken system. John McCain’s campaign and the Republican National Committee are fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs. 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."

Modern day leftists like Barack Obama have told us getting private money out of politics is a noble and necessary thing.Now this.It appears campaign finance reform is a scam by leftists to limit speech.But,we hope to leads to no taxpayers dollars financing politicians.Where would the MSM be on this issue if a Republican opted out? You'd hear endless attacks about how special interests are trying to buy a Presidential election.But,with Obama the MSM will probably be quite quiet.Barack Obama,change we can believe in.
