Some may call it flip-flopping, but I call it being outright hypocritical. I am referring to Sen. Barack Obama’s announcement that he will not accept public financing for his presidential campaign.
Public financing would have limited his campaign spending to no more than $85 million from September till Election Day in November. This is where the hypocrisy kicks in.
He previously agreed to public financing, but has since found out he can raise a lot more money in other ways. Obama thinks he outflanked Sen. John McCain with this maneuver, but in so doing he showed his true nature.
Isn’t it considered a breach when an individual, whether in the public or the private sector, breaks an agreement?
I’m sorry, but I could not put my trust in an individual who would resort to such an action.
