C. GATSBY'S Weblog: "you will learn the truth and the truth will make you free. John 8:32

Last year, Obama responded in a questionnaire that he would “aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”

Now, flip-flop Obama has reversed his campaign promise and will forgo public financing. Obama says the “system is broken.” Why did it take Obama this long to figure out that the public financing system is “broken?” Obama, whose campaign is based on change and reform, shows his true character. He is a man of dubious integrity and one who does not keep his promises.

This should be no surprise. Obama first supported his pastor of 20 years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who preached racial hatred and anti-American sermons for years. Then, after an overwhelming public outcry, Obama broke ties with his pastor. This time it took Obama 20 years to deduce that his former pastor was making hateful remarks.

America needs a president who has character, not one who flip-flops like Obama.

Last year, Obama responded in a questionnaire that he would “aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”

Now, flip-flop Obama has reversed his campaign promise and will forgo public financing. Obama now says the “system is broken.” Why did it take Sen. Obama a year this long to figure out that the public financing system is “broken”?

Obama’s main reason: “John McCain’s campaign and the Republican National Committee are fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs.”

This is false. The truth, according to Annenberg Political Fact Check, is “donations from PACs and lobbyists make up less than 1.7 percent of McCain’s total receipts, and they account for only about 1.1 percent of the RNC’s receipts.” In 2004, PACs furnished about 10 percent of the DNC’s total fundraising, and only about 1 percent of the RNC’s total.

Obama, whose campaign is based on change and reform, shows his true character. He is a man of dubious integrity who does not keep his promises.

America needs a president who has character, not one who flip-flops like Obama.
