Senator Obama's opt-out of public financing came as no surprise. It was a politically expediant move. However, the switch is disconcerting, not just because he broke his word or changed his mind; it's troubling because he signed a pledge. When most Americans sign a 'pledge' it's considered a legally binding contract. Yet this was a 'pledge' and not a contract? So it should be noted that a pledge from Senator Obama is a non-binding agreement. Signature, no signature, this is different than changing on a position, he promised to do 'x' signed off on it then did 'y'. Politically it was most likely the right thing to do, he will have much more money this way. However, he revealed to the American people in the process that a promise, a pledge, and his word are negotiable.

Respectfully, Obama's not shown that his promise, written pledge and/or his word are negotiable.
Nor has he just revealed this.
He's shown, yet once again, that his words and pledges and promises mean nothing. Period.
Seeing you people cry about this is laughable.
"Seeing you people cry about this is laughable." Do you not realize that when you sign your name to a document, you must adhere to the document. It's kind of like signing the U.S. Constitution - now all government officials are to uphold the laws of this country. Apparently, Obama thinks he can get away with not using the laws?
Exuse me - I meant Declaration of Independence. I apologize for the mistake. You get the idea though.
"Seeing you people cry about this is laughable."
- As laughable as watching you people cry about his flip/flop on FISA? Or NAFTA? Do you think this will be the last time "you people" get forked over when the wind blowing thru B.O.'s empty suit changes direction?
FYI - the "you people" crying the most about the financing flip/flop are B.O.'s pals like Mark Shields, WaPo, et al.
Seems like standard Obamaspeak to me.
