He made no promise to use public financing. He promised to try to reach an agreement about it with the Republican nominee. Those are not the same. Even if he becomes the Democratic nominee, there is no guarantee of being able to reach such an agreement. And what you see now is the McCain camp declaring the precise terms of the agreement they want and harping on how Obama won't agree to that. That is nothing more than political posturing on their part - not a failure to negotiate in good faith by Obama. Wake up people and pay attention to exactly what was said.

They always find excuses for him and that is fine, remember the saying, give a person enough rope and they will eventually hang themself.

Now talk about healthcare, economy, war in Iraqi & education... thats a different story.... Notice McCain's camp continues to go after Obama. Has someone told them that Obama has won the nomination? Wow, total ignoring Hillary.. Humm... Clearly this issue will not make any difference to the American people as we are not concerned with this.

So why are you complaining? Because your broke. You want the public financing so you regain funds to beat Obama. Too bad. You're going to have to stick it out.

After viewing Obama's questioning over Iraq yesterday there is not a chance I could ever support that man. "Talk to Iran". We have been doing that and it shows a gross lack of understanding of the political situation. If he has done anything with the Afgan committee he chairs he would already understand why this option has already expired for the present.

He has spent more money than the public funding has set aside for those who asked to participate in this program in the primaries. McCain is one of those people who signed up to participate in this program and he is in direct violation of the laws that were set up to protect campaigns who did not have enough recources themselves. Some body call him on this please!! McCain should not lecture anybody on campaign financing when he is in violation of the campaign finance laws that are on the books right now.
