RANT! Obama should use public money
I am amazed that this is not being made a bigger issue. I guess Obama is paying everyone off with his millions of dollars so that they don’t talk about his millions of dollars.
Obama promised that if he was nominated, he would use public money for his campaign. Now he is backing out of that promise and is going to forgo those restrictions so that he can outspend John McCain by what some think will be 5 to 1.
Obama will run the richest campaign ever for the office of the US President!
While I have a hard time saying that people can’t give money to their favorite candidate, I do have problems with massive amounts of money being used to “buy” the campaign. Never before has the disparity between candidates been so massive. John McCain will only have 84M from the government to spend on the election and Barack Obama will be able to spend as much as he can raise and estimates say that could be 300-400M!
