He is funded by the PUBLIC, not corporations. That means "us" the people, 2million people, myself included. McCain was crying about this way back in Feb. when Obama was pulling in 55 mill. He knew what was coming. President Obama. Get used to it. For all those who say Obama is buying the presidency, you are mistaken. He is funded by the PUBLIC, not corporations.

McCain has worked for years, in bipartisan legislative efforts, to reform the political campaign process so offices do not go to the highest bidders. I am proud of his decision to stand steadfast on this issue and keep his word. It is amusing, yet sad also to see the spinning & rationalization going on here by the Obamabots to justify these actions. Obama is like a reed that bends in every wind, while McCain is like a rock on his principles.

Secondly, has anyone realized that Back in November Senator McCain opted into the public financing to use it as collateral for a couple of millon dollar loans to run his campaigne. Then is opted out and didn't want to use public financing, now he wants to? Now that is what I call a flip flop not to mention its illegal. I encourage everyone to get the facts and don't hate on Obama because he can walk and chew gum at the same time.

"Poor people have been voting for democrats for at least the last 60 years, and they're still poor. Something wrong with that picture." However, you should note that the majority of the Republican party is made up of poor people. The Democratic party is generally made up of more educated, rich, urban and subarban people. Get your facts straight!! Thanks To Randy S:

Unlimited spending destroys individual thinking (the basis for our democracy) by outmuscling some candidates by simple amount of advertisement. Why, you thought Obama is using that money to talk about his record? Of course not! If the primaries are a trend then he'll be using it all for negative attack ads against his opponent!
