Obama's Switcheroo

 

April 11, 2008

 

Barack Obama declared this week that he has created a "parallel public financing system." Come again? Let him explain: Under parallel public financing, "the American people decide if they want to support a campaign, they can get on the Internet and finance it."

 

Up to this moment, "public" financing has meant taking money from the federal government for the general Presidential election. Senator Obama's new system is public, because "the public" sends him the money.

 

Here's the translation: In November, Mr. Obama said he would accept public financing for the general campaign if John McCain committed to public funds. Now he doesn't want to be tied down by the spending limits attached to public funds. This is embarrassing. Solution: Call his Internet contributors a "parallel public financing" system.

 

What he is proposing sounds pretty much like what the system would look like if campaign-finance restrictions didn't exist. But they do exist, thanks to reformers like him. Shortly after the candidate made his remarks, a spokesman hurried to say it "was not a policy statement," but merely a description of the nature of his donor base. Barack Obama raised $40 million in the month of March – twice the $20 million Hillary Clinton's campaign took in. His totals are now more than $230 million.

 

Good for him. But Mr. Obama is unmistakably talking about abandoning the virtuous world that campaign finance reformers have in mind. The reformers' agenda has always been to limit "the influence of money" in politics, and do so by capping the amount candidates can spend. This naturally appealed to Mr. Obama when he was the underdog. But now that he's top dog, standing on principle isn't as appealing as the prospect of a colossal war chest.

 

Mr. Obama has also made much of his campaign's pledge not to accept money from political action committees, raising the majority of his funds from small private donations. PACs typically make up less than 1% of overall election donations to Presidential candidates, so that's no sacrifice.

 

Industry PACs may not give directly to his campaign, but employees of industries may do so, and many of his contributors have come from executives and their spouses. For example, Mr. Obama leads all candidates in donations from the pharmaceutical industry and commercial banks, among other industries. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks fundraising in elections, Mr. Obama has received $528,765 from people in the pharmaceutical industry and $1,380,108 from commercial banks. He comes in second to Mrs. Clinton in donations from lawyers with $13,690,170, just over a million shy of her total.

 

There is in fact a real parallel financing system already in place and ready to support Mr. Obama. It's called George Soros and so-called 527 groups such as the Democrat-supporting Fund for America or the newly named Progressive Media USA. Progressive Media recently announced plans for a $40 million, four-month campaign against Mr. McCain, and that's only one group in the game.

 

Mr. Obama once said he would "aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election." Mr. McCain has already taken steps toward public financing in the general election. So now Mr. Obama wants to preserve his reputation as a reformer while exploiting his new financial advantage. We are all beginning to learn how expansive the meaning of "change" is.

I am not here to say Obama is a bad person, even though I am not voting for him. Despite the negatives of the Rev. Wright story, he doesn't strike me as a hateful person but just too liberal for me.

 

George Soros, however, is another story. His moveon.org is strictly there to throw dirt at those he and his far- left buddies don't like. He's even thrown dirt at Hillary, who is not far left enough for them. And they certainly will throw a lot of dirt at John McCain whether it's true or not. Truth doesn't matter to Soros, just dirt.

 

George Soros is a bad, bad person. <_<

I've learned that what makes you sick is probably good for the country. Go Obama!

 

So, Skippy, tell us from which socialist university you got your economics degree.

 

My name's not Skippy, but my economics degree is from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Didn't realize it was a socialist university, however.

Well then, Pat, your premise is incorrect.

 

By the way, did Dr. Gupta explain the supply and demand curves for your class using beer and hamburgers as examples?

a vote for any of the candidates besides Dr. Ron Paul would be a vote for socialism and eventually a world government

VOTE RON PAUL!!!

 

I've seen that used as a threat many times.

What's so bad about having a "1 world government"?

It would make it more efficent when we're battling UFO's

I think you've done a good enough job of proving what a wacko :wacko: you are, so I will not be responding to your crazy rants regarding this issue any longer....

From Dreams of My Father: I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.

 

From Dreams of My Father: I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.

 

From Dreams of My Father: There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.

 

From Dreams of My Father: It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

 

From Dreams of My Father: I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.

 

From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

Just dawned on me..

This race is boiling down to the opening of the "Mod Squad"

The Mod Squad was a police drama that featured three young, hip, crime fighters. One White, One Black, One Blonde, was the promotional hype-line. The casting was intended to appeal to a youthful, counterculture audience. The basic premise was that the youthful investigators were offered work fighting crime as an alternative to being incarcerated themselves. The show's primary gimmick centered on the three cops using their youthful, hippie personas as a guise to get close to the criminals they investigated. The show was moderately popular during its initial run of five seasons and 123 episodes
