"new politics, honesty and transparency in politics, not the old politics"?
Why does this not suprise me?
I'm partial to Obama, but the man tends to believe his own rhetoric, which blindsides him. Now that he's raking in money, he may be considering his good-goverment stance. But people wouldn't be too surprised about that if they were go to Harper's Magazine and track down a Ken Silverstein artice called "Obama, Inc." that appeared in the November 2006 issue.
If Obama really believed in what's doing, he ought to keep his word, take the public money, but turn over his 1 million donor list to the DNC. Let the Democratic party raise the money for him.
A greater irony, still, is McCain, Capt. Clean on the "Straight Talk Express," also trying to wiggle out of his commitment.
And some people wonder why Ralph Nader is running.
