Obama's Lame Claim About McCain's Money

The special interest money for McCain hasn't come in yet, but it will. Why do you assume that it won't? Your article is based on this assumption. McCain hasn't been exactly clean about all the private fianancing of his general election campaigning that has been going on for months while Hillary and Barack were contesting in the Primary. Since the Republican convention comes last, McCain can continue to privately fund his general election campaign with private funds longer than Obama can. Why don't you write a balanced article about these factors?

YOU SEE IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF JOHN MCCAIN BEING GUILTY OF A CRIME, ITS A CASE OF POOR JUDEGMENT. ADD THAT TO THE FACT THAT JOHN MCCAIN CANNOT EVEN USE A COMPUTER AND GO FROM THERE. QUITE CLEARLY, THE MAN IS NOT QUALIFIED TO RUN THE GREATEST NATION ON THE PLANET.

All Hail Obama, King of the Americas!

I mean give me a break stop making such a big deal out of this. Obama has 1. 6 million Americans donating $100 $50 $25. Thats a form of public financing. His money is coming from grassroots support stop making this such a big thing.

ruthella10 this is exactly the kind of idiotic liberal idealogy that's going to ruin this country... all you do is complain about problems and have no solutions. Obama's economic agenda is not gona get us out of this downturn it's only going ot make it worse ... but librals like yourself are to blind to see it.

i find if very funny that the Republicans cant seem to win a fight unless their opponent has their hands tied behind their back. Dirty pieces of you know what. I am with Obama...you GOP pricks hate it when they get beat at their own game. Get ready for some more, because you unpatriotic, greedy, incompetent, butholes are going to "reap the whirlwind." PS. Hope you like getting kicked when your down!

I think it is too bad Obama had to change his position. But seriously he HAD too - the money gives him so many more options. In the past the Democrats have been dwarfed by the Republican money and now they can turn that around it. It is unfortunate that he has to change - but it would be even more unfortunate if he turned down a situation that can help him win the election.

I agree with what Obama has done. He and his advisors clearly understand that he will need way more money to win certain states that are primarily republican states..His goal is to be able to fairly campaign in those areas that he is projected to not do so well..McCain and his advisors are upset because Obama will be able to clearly out campaign him in his own backyard..McCain was content with the idea of public funding because he knew no matter what..he would win those key states...Obama has way more money to use for advertising and campaigning and will be able to more effectively get his point across to those people who have not made up their minds and targeting the disgrunted repubs that may switch. That fund would have limited each candidate to roughly 84 mil a piece..and everyone knows..if you want to beat a McBush and get the repubs out of office..you are going to need way more money than that..lets start with 300Mill and counting! advantage Barak Obama.

...probably, looking up the word 'semantics' or 'truth'

Thanks Newsweek, now I KNOW you have no pretense of objectivity and I will totally ignore any and all links to you and hope your advertisers suffer the consequences as millions of Obama voters do the same.

Hey wearthem, Is it a lie that people feel better supporting OBAMA? No it is true, we feel better with him than with Bush. Until OBama gives us a reason not to like him, we agree with what he says and want our country to be in a better place with finances, foreign trade, military might and so on. When we think of MCCAIN as our leader, we get a bit depressed. That is why he will LOSE.

and RDOMINGUEZ disappears...hmmmm

The Newsweek article fails to mention that the RNC has more than $50,000,000 in hand to run against Obama than the DNC has for a similar purpose against McCain. That will be added to McCain's public funds. And $19,000,000 of the DNC money can be controlled by McCain's campaign. The rest the DNC can spend asit designates. The Republicans have had more money for the presidential campaign in all recent elections. Obama is simply leveling the playing field and of course everyone is getting upset. But it will be nice to see a Democrat in a financial position to challenge the Republican warchest for a change.

Yes, this brings him equal to every other politician in the History of the World who changes his mind when it favors his goals.
Yes, all politicians are self-involved hypocrites who are the least qualified creatures in the multiverse to rule us.
However, I like Obama's lies of positive change more than McCain's promises of a century of Middle Eastern blood and war.
