Here we go again... Obama do you ever mean what you say? The left wing media will not tell you about this. What FOX news if you want fair and balanced coverage of the election.

Unfortunately, about 99% of the people who voted for Barack Obama will never make sense of this statement and its implications.

They're both corporate candidates and they know it. Even Senator Durbin admitted that the banks "frankly, own the place (Washington)". There will never be a genuine effort on their part to the fix the system. It will have to be forced on them by the people. Sadly, we're all too distracted by TV, video games, and mundane, celebrity media coverage to give a s**t. So long, America. You were a great country once.

I would say that you act more out of integrity; something obviously sorely lacking in washington today.

Amazing how this "champion of campaign finance" has completely destroyed it in any presidential race for the near future.

How is this changing principles? Turning down soft money from the campaign financing system he's always said was corrupt is not changing principles. The system is broken; even McCain admits that. Just like the rest? No politician has EVER done what he's doing. c'mon now...

Wrong. Please stop perpetuating this myth and do some research. He signed an agreement to "aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election." Look it up. Granted, he has yet to meet with McCain, but they're both guilty of putting that meeting off.

Hillary thought that her contributors who maxed out at $2,400 each, could match Obama's, millions of contributors, that donated less than $100 each.

Now, John McCain faces this financial buzzsaw, and wants to whine about it. BooHooHoo!!

"Those who have the most money will ahve the most influence"

Well perhaps.. if you act like a robot.. but if you act like a person with a brain you only people influence you if you want them to.

Just words .....

he actually checked a form that said he WOULD use public funds. Beyond that he's been saying that he public funds was the way to go, plus saying that he would meet with mccain to go over it vigorously (which he has yet to do). Go check out the Tim Russert vid, where he tells Obama point blank "you are going back on your word"
