He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits." This, in my opinion, could be an indicator of what we can expect from an Obama presidency. Once he and his campaign realized they really had a shot at the nomination and that they could raise some serious cash, they reneged on the promise to use public financing. This in turn has enabled the Obama camp to literally buy the election. With his 30 minute "infomercial" last night and the blitz we can expect in the coming days leading up to the election, his checking account balance will prove to be more of a factor than his character, past, and associations. Which of his many promises made during his campaign will he bail on first once he takes the oath? Any bets? “One year ago, he made a promise.
