Obama 2008 on campaign financing:
In a web video to supporters — “the people who built this movement from the bottom up” — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, announced this morning that he will not enter into the public financing system, despite a previous pledge to do so.
“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.”
In November 2007, Obama answered “Yes” to Common Cause when asked “If you are nominated for President in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system?”

Obama Team 2012: Money Is Corrupting Our PoliticsEh, that’s not what this article is about but Romney has beaten Obama in fundraising for May.
Be sure to read the whole thing. If not for hypocrisy, our POTUS would have no morals whatsoever.
As for Wisconsin, the unions spent tens of millions of dollars organizing it all, now the Democrats are screaming about Republicans raising enough to fight back.
Moral of this story: Never, ever, trust what you hear from the MSM. They’re in the tank for Obama. Sometimes they even admit it.
Dear Leader the serial perjurer, made many, many campaign promises that were instantly dashed when in office and most of the time he exceeded bad behavior and ethics by all Presidents combined. It may be that what you don’t donate to Romney, you may and even more to his opponent with another four years of incumbency.

No, you all just don’t get it! To a lib/socialist, YOUR money is THEIR money. And odumb-dumb does not remember giving us permission to give HIS money to Romney. Therein lies the rub. If we are giving HIS money to someone else, how can he spend it on HIS campaign?? If we gave what’s essentially the libs money to a commie/lib, that’s ok. Giving it to a conservative is, well, just wrong! That’s why libs keep saying they aren’t really raising taxes. In their minds, OUR money is already theirs to do with as they want. They are just letting us hold it until they need want it. How can you tax your own money? Put it from the RIGHT pocket into the LEFT??
