"Senator Obama has promised to change the way things are done in Washington and this step is a sure sign of his commitment. The American people's priorities will set the agenda in an Obama Administration, not the special interests."


uh oh. Now Obama won't be beholden to lobbyists and large donors in order to get elected . He'll have to continue to rely on the general public donating small $20.00 donations and actually answering to them. So as opposed to Hilary, he'll actually have something to challenge McCain with, since his campaign is nothing but lobbyists, to dictators, the energy companies, banks wanting to foreclose on average Americans etc. etc.


Obama's not taking any more because he's already gotten a shitload from the oil companies to begin with.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
