The talking heads and NeoCons are yammering on that Obama broke his word on public financing. He didn't. He agreed to aggressively pursue public financing and if his opponent did the same thing they could come to an accord. I speak English and understood this several months ago.
The Huffington Post blogged about this in February. The Obama campaign has carefully parsed their position on it, which I think was a mistake, but an understandable one in favor of the idea of fair play. Of course with 527s and all the stops pulled out on dirty politicking, who in their right mind would agree to public financing?
In a battle, you don't fight with one hand tied around your nether regions.
This is much ado about nothing. And for those who still are still missing the short bus: Obama's campaign is publicly financed by average Joes like you and me.
Of course, I'm currently up in arms about FISA, but give me a break on public financing.
