He’s rolling in dough earned on a broken promise. And Obama has failed to adequately explain why he broke a pledge on public financing.

Raw Data: Obama’s Promise…
In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election. My proposal followed announcements by some presidential candidates that they would forgo public financing, so they could raise unlimited funds in the general election. The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and Senator John McCain (r-AZ) has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.
Is this “change we can believe in” or more of the same? The fact Obama cannot stick to his personal plans is troubling. How can we believe he will keep plans that include 300 million people?
Secondly, if this is how he will “aggressively pursue” goals, then he is going to be an ineffective president full of words and flowery speech, but lacks action.
