Somebody slap that idealistic fool upside the head !
How foolish for Obama to take the vow of political poverty! He's getting it the good old American way- from the people who are taking a stand to get their country back . Get tough, Obama, and don't give away your lunch money!!! You will need every bit of it .
For the first time in donkey's years the Democrats are going to have a money advantage. Take the money and run. Until a way is devised to stifle the 527s, the Obama campaign should not agree in the slightest to limit their ability to raise and spend money because they are going to need every penny to fight the Republican slime. There are alternatives to limiting contributions. I don't know the law but maybe on his web site he could suggest that people make a donation to the DNC instead of to him, or split their contributions, or give some money to candidates lower down the ticket. Don't turn your nose up at good money.
I simply do not understand how anyone can consider what the Obama campaign is doing to be anything other than public financing.
What's the point of ANY public financing approach? To reduce the influence of special interests, nothing else. Not to "level the playing field". Why should that be a goal?
I would like to hear much less from Ms. Claybrook...she has had the wrong approach to everything she weighs in on, for as long as I can remember.
All Obama has to do to limit donations is pay off Clinton's debt. That will stop me cold from donating.
Me too ! (but he can't pay from campaign donations *phew* they have to be specially directed)
That won't happen, it's not legal. Stop with the knee-jerk reactions.
That said, I must admit - I had the same reaction to the story until I did some research ;-0
