Obama and Public Financing

John McCain seems to be gaining some traction on the question of if Obama will abide by an alleged pledge to only use public financing in the general election campaign.

Now, Obama has not ruled out doing Public Financing, however what he has said was that he would only commit to Public Financing if both sides agree to prevent 527 money from getting into the mix when he said both candidates would need to:

"commit to discouraging cheating by their supporters; to refusing fundraising help to outside groups; and to limited their own parties to legal forms of involvement."

McCain has called this double speak, but in light of the 250 million dollars that Ari Fleischer is sitting on and the Swift Boating of 2004 it is clear that it is McCain who speaks with a forked tongue.

In the end this is a great symbol. Obama is willing to use public financing only, but wants to use the voices and microdonations of the people only if need to counteract the less than honest intentions of McCain who wants to use public financing so he can capitalize on his 527 Swift Boating buddies to do the dirty work for him.

I said it before and I will say it again.... Keating 5!
