Obama is Taking Public Finance
He is just doing it without limitations. He has banished the lobbyists and the PACs.

His Primary Campaign and his General Campaign are funded by the People who give him money. The over one and a half million People who give regularly. He is Publicly Financed, just not through the Federal program.

McDubya still takes money form the PACs, Lobbyists, and maybe even the Federal Public Financing Program. He's the one who has been all over the place on this.

M$M can suck it, they want a horse race so badly, but, they aren't going to create it. Not this time.

1. Let me get this straight...
John McCain needs government hand-outs, and he's mad at Obama because he doesn't? Hmm.

3. When grampy says no to the PACs and the Lobbyists, then he can talk.

8. I haven't heard of anyone donating their tax refunds to McCain, lol
That's public financing, and a few have given their refunds to Obama instead of filling up their tanks with it.

K/R :D
