Douglas (not verified) has parroted a Republican talking point that Obama is somehow this double-talking liar because he chooses to finance his campaign with the contributions of millions of Americans. Whether you like his politics or not, Obama is changing the way we finance presidential campaigns and you are not going to put the genie back in the bottle.

Republicans are right to be scared. Obama is going to out spend McCain two or three to one in the general and much of that money will be used to define him and his campaign. They can waste their time trying to discredit Obama for changing his mind, but campaign finance laws are complicated and he will not have enough money to make any of this stick.

Sorry Douglas (non verified).
