I have mixed feelings about Barack's choice to refuse public funding. I do feel like the system is really messed up and is in dire need of repair. I also really hope that Barack can run his whole campaign on public donations from citizens and not take large donations from any special interest groups and lobbiests. I also am sick of people saying that he has flip-flopped. If you read the questionaire that Barack is being quoted from it is saying that Barack would choose public funding if his opponent had commeted to only using public funding, which John McCaine has not, and never will because he gets too much money from Big Oil, Insurance, and other special interest groups to turn down private funding. So people should really read the whole document and not just the head lines that are being spread by the right wing press. Also enough with this term Flip Flopping!!! He is NOT wearing a pair of sandles or a thong! He is simply changing his mind or clairifying his opinion!!
But Barack is not even "flip flopping" in this case
