Public Financing





On Meet the Press, June 22, 2008, Sen. Joe Biden representing the Obama campaign was really unable to defend Obama's decision to break his word and opt out of public financing as he had pledged to do. Biden's only attempt at defense was to say Obama could not be influenced by big money because he has so many small donors, as if that means he should not need to keep his word. Graham countered that Obama is a "calculating politician" who has shown he is heavily influenced by the far-left in the Democratic Party, particularly by MoveOn.org.








Here is a Reality Check segment on Obama's decision to not keep his word on taking Public Financing for the General Election.
