"we must get off the oil kick--there is no future in it for we the people." More empty rhetoric from the empty heads.

It's funny how obama defend his public finance "to fight what so called 527". Did he forgets Moveon.org?? He sounds like when he said he wasn't aware of the questionaire that labeled him as the most liberal senator even though his handwritings were on the questionaire. Liar!!! If obamaniacs still doesn't think this guy is a liar then they are so blind that no miracle can help.

I'll be laughing my butt off if obama raise less than 80millions. Then he'll say "i'll take public finance because I committed to it"

New kind of politics?? all of them do what's best for them first before the people they are supposed to serve. When we have the capacity and the resources to drill, these congressmen don't allow it (for whatever stupid reasons they said but deep down it's for their own benefits). It's pathetic and make me want to throw to even look at obama while he's claiming he's a fresh kind. ech...

want to pay 10.00 per gallon next---they will take the blood right out of us---will not stop unless we go to alternate fuels and power.

Obama needs money to buy a trust but he's wrong.
Mc Cain-08.

Until that magical day happens, we can all just do nothing and hope for the change to happen. Maybe someone else will solve our problems for us.

Obama will take care of you just like he took care of his mentor. He'd throw the whole country under the bus for 4 years of fame and fortune.

Then you may want to check out Ron Paul, because Obama is for big everything.

a parting thought
---obama is being supported by millions of indivudals--mccain is backed by big business lobby--choice you make will be your future for the next four years--after 16 years of some of worst government in history we need to wise up and if after four years we are no better off-----VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE AND HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE--be it obama or mccain

What makes you believe that Obama isn't backed by big business?

MACK
very easy--start naming a few---the act with rev. right and such is really kid stuff---we know mccain is bought and paid for by big oil. all the drilling in the world will not lower gas prices--they are in controll---may lower a few cents now and then to quiet the public outcry.

Again, the O-Clones missed my point like they always do. I said that in response to folks slamming Cindy McCain for her prescription drug use, I brought up Barkey's use of coke and weed. I was admonished that no one cares about that. I guess except when McCain's wife does it.

The Clones again excuse any behavior of Barkey. Now the fact that he has reneged on his pledge to use public financing is somehow McCain's fault. Never Bambi's fault. And talk about whining. I never saw a grown man whine more than Bambi. He's worse than a girl.

mack
ron paul--ross perot--and afew others are the kind of people we need ----but since they cannot be bought by big business---they cannot get anrwhere---they are for the country and people --not special interest

I don't care enough about him to do any research about who backs him. It wouldn't change your mind anyway. It's just naive to believe that he's not just like every other politician. Just because he says it, doesn't make it so. You really may want to check out Ron Paul because he is the only one that is for real change.

You're right about that Rodney.

So Obama lied to his supporters and will raise as much money as he can--the $500 million man and John McCain will only have the federal financing system. Oh yes, the broken system that Obama will not use. CAN OBAMA BUY AMERCIA? How does this look for the first black man to buy America. He can advertise and advertise and buy votes but I think the American people can see what is going on---you know Obama---transparency.

So Obam,a "lied" you say, how about this:

John McCain reiterated his opposition to drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on Thursday, a day after his statement calling for it.

Can't John make up his mind or is he so confused without Lieberman or Cindy to correct him that he's become erratic and has lost his bearings?

Something wrong with having $500M to spend on a presidential run.....Why would anyone need that much $ to become president? More importantly, who is contributing that much money to "make him president" and why?

So Obama wants real public financing, not government money or hand outs. oops whos is the conservative here. Wants us out of Iraq and empire building. Amazing... next he is going to say he wants to balance the budget....Is he trying to get Pat Buchanan to support him?.... how exotic......or on the ticket? lol...

Obama flip flops all the time.

In november Obama called the DC gun ban constituational then in the pennsylvania debate wouldn't answer the question.

Obama was against the israeli wall in 2004 then when he ran for president was for it.

Obama flip flops on nafta. In 2004 he says it was good for illinios. Then he rails against it now he says it was overheated rhetoric.

OBAMA IS THE MESSIAH OF FLIP FLOPS.

First, John McCain violated his own campaign finance laws. McCain broke the "McCain-Feingold" law which prohibits candidates from leaving the public financing system if they use the promise of funding to secure a loan, as McCain did (he secured his $4 million loan during a critical moment of his faltering campaign by promising to use the public financing if he failed to pay it back). McCain also received free ballot access in many states because he had pledged to accept matching funds. If John McCain wouldn’t obey the campaign finance laws in the primary, why should anyone expect him to keep his word in the general election?
