		<description>Here is why Obama&#039;s broken promise on campaign funding is a big deal: It emphatically destroys Obama&#039;s claim to be anything but another lying politician.

It&#039;s about the lying and dishonesty. OBAMA LIED, CREDIBILITY DIED.
Obama&#039;s campaign is a tissue of lies built on dishonesty about who he is (he&#039;s a leftist not a centrist), what kind of politician he is (he is a race-baiting Chicago-style kneecapping finger-in-wind pol, not a post-racial messianic wunderkind), and who&#039;s on his side (Soros, the moveon.org leftist nutroots and Hollywood lib millionaires, not everyman contributors).
Obama made a commitment in Nov 2007 to use public financing. He broke that promise. Then in June 2007 when breaking his promise he lied about his opponent, he lied about making efforts that were not made. OBAMA LIED, CREDIBILITY DIED.

The shocker is the OBAMEDIA is in the tank for Obama so much that when the curtain is lifted, they pretend not to notice, knowing they are in on the farce.</description>

		<description>That is surely what we desire in a leader.  One who stands for nothing.  His word is no good.  Pledges are empty.  What ever benefits great leader is what we will do.  Didn&#039;t Hitler promise to cure all of Germany&#039;s ills?  I think Lenin had all the answers for Russia.  Obama is a liar.  Every word, every story contains a lie.  How would the liar have Kansas values?  He never lived there.</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s change of heart is a wise one.  He will take some hits temporarily right now, but by November nobody is really going to care about this issue.

Although i wish he had been honest and said that he was doing it because he believed he could raise more money than he would recieve and he wanted to win, rather than blaming it on John McCain and 527&#039;s.  As if there won&#039;t be any 527&#039;s working on Obama&#039;s behalf.

That lie bugs me more, but then he wouldn&#039;t have my vote for his policy positions.

But I don&#039;t really see anything majorly wrong with the change of heart.  I think it was foolish for him to make the promise, but it would be more foolish for him to keep it.  I think what he gains by opting out far outweighs any damage caused by changing his mind.</description>

Well, McCain is actually breaking the law with his current financing practices. Guess that shows him to be the criminal he is and proves he cannot be trusted...</description>

		<description>Nothing that is true about Obama, no actions of his past are his fault.  His close associates are not the people he knew.  While he told the people of Iowa he opposed NAFTA, he sent Goolsby to Canada to tell them it was just pandering (lying) to obtain votes.  There has been and is a pattern here for anyone to see.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;What Obama&#8217;s &#8220;Change&#8221; REALLY Means?...&lt;/strong&gt;

Perhaps it’s not what the socialist candidate for POTUS means, but what the result truly will be if he is elected combined with a Democrat-controlled Congress.

Wouldn&#039;t there be a little &quot;hope&quot; and &quot;change&quot; if he actually stated that he was violating his principles for monetary reasons instead of trying to blame Republicans for &quot;forcing&quot; him to do it?</description>
