The Thing That's Broken Is Barack

In announcing Friday that he would not be accepting public campaign funds, Barack Obama broke a campaign promise to the voters, a promise made to his opponent John McCain, and essentially showed that country that he lied.

Barack made a big deal out of promising to accept public funding and limitations on private fundraising by saying, 'The system is broken.' He promised McCain in a mutual agreement that he would abide by the rules of public funding because 'the system is broken.'

And now that he has raised private funds totaling 500 million dollars from who-knows-where (mainly George Soros), Barack turned his back on his promises to the voters and McCain by stating he would not accept any public funding nor the limitations associated with it.

The reason Barack gave for refusing public funding? Because 'the system is broken.'

Now let me get this straight. Barack 'I am a different kind of politician' Obama, aka Mr. Clean Hands himself, stated he would accept public funds because 'the system is broken.' But once he lays his hands on the filthy lucre of George Soros and other unknown, undisclosed sources of funding to the tune of 500 million, he refuses to accept public funding because 'the system is broken.'

A different kind of politician? Not a chance. He's the same kind of dirty-handed, scheming, corrupt politician that we've come to expect from Chicago.

Mr. Obama, it appears to me that the only thing in this campaign that's broken is you.
