We've already seen with Hillary and the Florida and Michigan delegates that her word is useless. Let's see how this now plays out with Obama.


OSHKOSH, Wis. - Republican Sen. John McCain admonished Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for hedging on his promise to accept public funding if he wins his party's nomination or use his prolific fundraising operation.

"I made the commitment to the American people that if I were the nominee of my party, I would accept public financing," the likely GOP presidential nominee said Friday in Oshkosh, Wis. "I expect Senator Obama to keep his word to the American people as well. This is all about a commitment that we made to the American people.

"I am going to keep my commitment," he said. "The American people have every reason to expect him to keep his commitment."

Excellent point. I want to see this as well.
I've always known that Hillary's word is useless. Just like Bill's promises were useless.

i hate the very concept of "public financing". And quite frankly if Obama breaks his word on taking the money of others, I will applaud him for it.

Strange how we have gotten to the point where we expect politicians to lie to us.
