Will Obama keep his pledge to use federal funds in a presidential election?
Obama did not foresee the millions he has raised. If he keeps his pledge, the federal funds he will receive will be much less.

Travel codes are a great way to get discount travel no matter which way you decide to move from state to state, or country to country.

he said he will work with mccain to come up with a plan that was fair to everyone

I’m sure McCain wants that to happen because he is raising nothing compared to Obama’s funds. Not gonna happen because Obama and the democratic party are not stupid.

Good . He is rich enough. Throw some of those millions spent on campaign ads my way or to Appalacian kids for that matter.

He did not make a pledge to use federal funds. He made a pledge to use federal funds if he became the Democratic nominee AND if the Republican nominee agreed to do the same thing. A lot of people don’t know that he made that caveat. Since it’s looking like John McCain is backing out of his agreement to use matching funds, thereby violating his own campaign finance law, I doubt Obama will agree to it.

I think he and McCain will have to work out a common ground on this. Ultimately they are both honest and honorable men.
Let’s compare the record:
From the Library of Congress:
Hillary Clinton in her one full term(6 yrs.) and another year campaigning, has authored and passed only 20 pieces of legislation in her term of six years into law. They range from naming a courthouse after Thurgood Marshall to naming a Post Office after Jonn A. O’Shea.
Obama in his first 8 Months sponsored over 820 Bills. Introduced 233 Bills on Healthcare Reform, 125 Bills on Poverty and Public Assistance, 112 Bills on Crime Fighting, 97 Economic Bills, 60 Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bills, 21 Ethics Reform Bills, 6 Veterans Affairs Bills and many others. In his First Year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 Bills and co-spomsored another 427. These Include: 1) the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 that became Law, 2) the Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-prliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act that became Law, 3) the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that passed the Senate, 4) the 2007 Government Ethics Bill that became Law, just to name a few. In all, since he entered the Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 Bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
Why is this not being discussed heavily on the blogs? Obama supporters should be copying and pasting this all over the net and inundating all the Hillary Blogs with this. When people take a hard look… she is not a hard worker. She represents more grid lock and laziness.
This man WILL get things done. His record PROVES IT.
Pass this on to as many folks as you can this weekend. Everyone on your address books, all blogs. Get the truth out and help make things right!

I doubt it. He will re neg on his pledge.
February 2nd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
If he can come to an agreement with McCain who also pledged to use Federal funds.
The 527′s will be in play.
February 2nd, 2009 at 11:26 pm
lmao….whoa! it went from a discussion to a PLEDGE…I love the semantics in this political contest. Everybody is trying EVERYTHING they can to make the other look bad. This has been amazing.
February 4th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
It’s funny and interesting for a conservative to advocate the use of public financing and a democrat is possibly advocating the use of funds they earned by their own merits. ha ha ha ha ….
February 7th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Yet another of his empty promises. He knows well enough that other candidates wouldn’t agree, so he says this knowing he won’t be called on it. Just more of his grandstanding.
February 9th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
no he’s already said that he would not keep his pledge.
And McCain said that he would and that Obama didn’t keep his word.
February 10th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Not going to happen because people never keep the promises they make during campaigns.
