President elect Barack Obama speaks at this campaign event about his support for public financing of campaigns as outlined by his fellow Senator from Illinois, Richard Durbin (D) in the Fair Elections Now Act. He emphasizes the importance of rallying grassroots support behind winning public financing -- because legislators will need pressure from the public before they will act on it.
For Obama public financing was fine and dandy--until he needed millions to run his own campaign. He rejected McCain's challenge to use public financing. We liberals must face the fact that Obama is a fiasco of massive proportions.
