Another Obama flip-flop: Campaign raising “soft money” from big donors posted at 11:20 am on August 16, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Can anyone remember a reform pledge Barack Obama hasn’t broken? First, he insisted that he would remain within the public-financing system, as late as February, then suddenly pronounced it “broken” when Obama didn’t want to stay within its spending limits. Next, his campaign went “negative” first against John McCain when he had pledged to eschew such advertising. Now Barack Obama and his team have begun raising millions of dollars in “soft money” from unions and PACs despite his ...

“We Will Not Take a Dime from…Special Interest PACs”
Say Anything —
O’blurry makes bad on yet another campaign reform promise by accepting, not dimes, but millions from special interest PACs.
But, in case you missed his sanctimonious refusal to take such money just a short time ago, Hot Air points to this bit of video:

Obama does not accept contributions from federally ...
