The First Presidential Campaign Truly Funded By the Corporations

Obama supporters are exceptionally naive if they really believe this propaganda that Obama is taking a stand against a broken public campaign finance system by not taking public money. Hello, people, he wants to take corporate money - that's why he's not taking public money. Here's a ridiculous comment spammed on the latest AOL Straw Poll (with McCain leading by an overwhelming margin):

Barack Obama just announced a major strategic decision -- this campaign will not participate in the broken public financing system for the general election.
Our opponents are dedicated to manipulating this broken system to raise as much money as possible -- and they've proven they are very good at it.

To compete, Barack has decided to keep putting his faith in ordinary people like you giving only what you can afford.

Your generosity has gotten us this far. Join Barack today by declaring your independence from our broken system.

Many Citizens have declared their Independence from a Broken System by supporting the First Presidential Campaign Truly Funded By the People

Right. As if taking PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS wasn't actually THE PEOPLE funding the campaign. What an amazing spin. Don't fall for it - it's a bunch of lies. Wall Street is where Obama gets his big money from, and that's whose pocket he will be in if he gets elected.
