Obama's Lame Claim About McCain's Money

Obama is going to be such a ruin if elected. Life long dem going rep. this time. TOO risky scarey.

barack HUSSEIN obama shall be liken by ALL middle-east-middle west,middle south,middle North,wow...this AN ASSET not LIABILITY as you libility and STUPID like YOU......it's economy for AMERICA STUPID!!!!!

And so not taking taxpayer money and relying completely on the millions of us who send him 20 to 200 dollars instead of corporate or lobbyist millions is wrong in what way?!?!!?!? Your article might as well have been written by Carl Rove it is so filled with misrepresentations and conjecture stated as fact. Maybe you can also tie in those made up stories as facts like the "Chinese drilling off the coast of Florida" or falsely claim that Obama is a Muslim again. I don't get it. McCain is being investigated for breaking the law by flip flopping on taking money during the primary then opting out. Then after huge amounts of money have already been spent while he had no opponent up to a couple weeks ago, he now flip flops to take the money AFTER Obama announces that he has enough from donations to finance his own campaign. Maybe has something to do with the GOP is flush with cash and McCain is not and the DNC is not flush with cash and Obama is? Seems like the McCain announcement was just another attempt to change the direction of attention away from where the two candidates are getting their money. Kind of like a his being a silver spoon millionaire married to a billionaire but having the nerve to call Barack and his wife "elitists."

McCain Financing Structure With RNC Skirts Intention Of Public Finance


The media has been abuzz over speculation that John McCain will accept public financing in the general election. The attention has overshadowed a new fund structure that will allow the McCain camp to collect significantly more money than the individual limits placed by the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill.

The Wall Street Journal reports on the details of McCain's fund:

Campaign manager Rick Davis released the details of the "McCain Victory 08" fund on Friday. He said the entity is a joint committee, combining the McCain campaign, the Republican National Committee and four key states under a "hybrid legal structure."
The idea is to tap donors for more than the $2,300 limit set by campaign finance laws. Under legislation pushed by McCain in his role as a senator from Arizona, an individual can donate a maximum of $2,300 to a presidential primary campaign and the same amount to the general election campaign. Although McCain received the number of delegates necessary to secure the nomination in March, he will not be the party's official nominee until the convention in September--so he is still running a primary campaign.

The new structure allows up to $70,000 in individual contributions by channeling the money into different McCain-centric funds. The first $2,300 of that would go to McCain's primary campaign. The Republican National Committee would receive $28,500 of the donation. The remaining funds would be divided equally, up to $10,000 a piece, among four states the campaign has designated as battlegrounds for November: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado and New Mexico.


The non-partisan organization Public Campaign Action Fund has published an open letter to McCain asking that he drop the system:

This joint fundraising committee, called McCain Victory '08 Fund, will allow your campaign to accept contributions as large as $70,000, according to the New York Times - an amount that is far in excess of contribution limits for candidates and political parties put in place by your own campaign finance law, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, also known as McCain-Feingold. Your willingness to evade the spirit of McCain-Feingold sets a poor precedent for whomever the Democratic Party nominates as your general election opponent. It also sends a signal that your campaign is less serious about the importance of participating in the public financing system in the general. Indeed, even if you were to participate, you and your campaign are exploiting a loophole and will be still be courting wealthy donors who could donate tens of thousands to the McCain Victory '08 Fund.

You and your campaign will describe this activity as legally sound. But that does not make it right.

TYLER - The price of oil swelled to another record high Monday morning - before dropping back. It almost hit $140 a barrel - but then fell 25 cents. It appears - a recent increase in oil output from Saudi Arabia -- is not driving down crude prices. Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, who started a bipartisan group called "American Solutions for Winning the Future" held little back at the Texas Republican Convention. He wants to use American solutions to change to the U.S. energy policy.

Simply put - he's fed up with Congress: "The problem is not big oil or the foreigners," said Speaker Gingrich. "The problem is not the Saudis. The problem is getting Congress to do it's job." And that job, he says, is to start using the energy we have. "Congress outlaws every conceivable energy source," said Speaker Gingrich. Gingrich is making his case for domestic drilling by launching a campaign with Actor Chuck Norris, with the slogan: "Drill here, Drill now, Pay less." The campaign is urging Congress to do something now to bring down gas prices. Speaker Gingrich also has thoughts on speculators. "It's people who are betting the U.S. is too dumb to produce (its own oil)."


He sides with East Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert -- when it comes to speculators and drilling. "If you began selling off two million barrels a day...we can pump out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It would immediately bring down the price of oil." Speaker Gingrich proposes selling off half of the reserve - now. "Do it suddenly..without telling anybody in advance and punish every speculator."The very speculators, he says, that are betting against America."

When Iran is bombed, 9and it will be soon) we will see $200/barrell immediately. $6/gallon gas is quite possible. The nation will then demand drilling, refineries, and alternatives, i.e. nuclear. The grand scheme of the DNC will blow up in their faces. They either flip-flop or get critized loudly. It will be a no-win situation for Hussein.

It is just too bad, this nation never addresses issues, until it is a crisis.

NOBAMA!!!

Obama Campaign finance by the People Of United States of all Walks of lives.He refused money from Pac ,Lobbyist interest,When he's the President Of United States he only Answerable to the People interest Not Pacs,Lobbyist.In This a man is much Smarter was Editor in Chief of Harvard Law's reviews to be our potus then John MCain that graduated lower rank of Naval Academy class ( long shot mentality)..john MCain finance by Lobbyist,Pacs,even worst recieving money $300,000 from his Fund-Raiser from Texas oilman who said,"Women being RAPE just like a bad weather,just laid back and enjoying the monent if can't help it."

Much heat is generated here, but little light. Obama did a flip on public financing, but it doesn't affect me or you. McCain flipped on tax cuts for the wealthy, once opposing them and now embracing them. Now this flip DOES affect you and me. If Obama "lied" about public financing, McCain likewise lied about the tax cuts for the super-rich. They both were flips, not lies, but McCain's flip is far more serious.

OMG, how did I stumble upon the Republican newspaper? Dribble, nonsense, racial innuendos. Our country's ONLY hope is to elect Obama!

i FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MOVEON.ORG HAS DISCONTINUED ITS 527 ADS AND IS ISSUING A CHALLENGE TO THE REPUBLICANS AND MCCAIN TO DO THE SAME. NOW IS THE TIME FOR MCCAIN TO PROVE HE'S SERIOUS ABOUT RUNNING A "CLEAN" CAMPAIGN.

By the way, it doesn't look very good to have Cindy McCain go on GMA and talk critically about Michelle Obama. For one thing, her background as an adultress, thief and drug addict might be brought out in retaliation. And by the way, Cindy. Did you happen to see your "Hero" of a hubby say, "I didn't love America until I was separated from her." on video on "Verdict" on MSNBC last night? If not, I don't think you'll see it on Fox, but try the Huffingtonpost.com.

Just another reminder to the McCains: People who have EIGHT glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

Here's the truth, Obama lied, it's about making a promise and keeping it. He's made promises to you, his supporters and what makes you think that one day he might not be lying to you, and you might be the ones on the other end. Obama is looking out for OBAMA, he wants to be president and he will say whatever he needs to do to get there. You guys are just blinded, and won't listen. So we'll see who has more numbers come November, I believe that America will vote McCain.

That's all for today folks! I'll definitely be back!

Have a great weekend!

VOTE OBAMA IN NOVEMBER. Then we can:
1. Balance our check book.
2. Pay down our debt.
3. Stop killing Women and Children in Iraq.
4. Change the way we are viewed by others around the globe.
5. Bring Repubs and Dems together on issues that will imact all our lives.
6. Increase funding to the ARTS. Much needed.
7. Help those in need around the world.
8. Protect the rights of all Americans.
Please add to the list it you can think of anything... I have to go back to work.
