Can Obama BUY the Presidency? YES HE CAN!
Public campaign financing is supposed to guard against the Presidency being bought by any one group whether that group is 300,000 strong or 1,000,000 strong! The population of theUnited Statesis 300,000,000 and no one group should be able to run roughshod over the population just because they have enough money to do so. The Presidency should not be for sale! Democrats have fought for years for public campaign financing that would prevent any group from being able to buy the Presidency. If a campaign gets its funds from the public, it is the public that is served. If a campaign gets its funds from a group (no matter how large or small the group is), it is the group that is served NOT the public.
Obama’s campaign ran roughshod over theClintoncampaign outspending her sometimes by as much as 5 to 1; and the so-called “free” press did not do its job because many had stars in their eyes due to the money that was being thrown around. Obama was able to “buy” many more Superdelegates than theClintoncampaign. No campaign should be able to “buy” support but the media remained mute on the process mostly because the media was making money on both campaigns.
Now, we are supposedly in the general election mode and Obama and his one million strong are running roughshod over McCain and there appears to be no one who will stand up for the remaining 299 million citizens who should have a voice in this election. The media that should be the watchdog for the 300 million citizens in this country and should have dogged Obama about his opting out of public campaign financing instead are complimenting him for his political acumen!
There is NO EXCUSE for the citizens of this country and its supposed watchdog media allowing the Presidency to be bought whether it is being bought by a group of 300,000 or a group of 1,000,000! There are 300 million people in this country and 1 million people should not be able to dictate the rules just because they have enough money to do so. Republicans have managed to dictate the rules in some elections because they had more money than the Democrats. It was wrong when the Republicans bought the elections and it is wrong for the Democrats to buy the elections.
Obama’s opting out of public campaign financing shows he is just another politician capable of buying the Presidency and choosing to do so! Guess the remaining 299 million citizens in this country had better just get used to Obama and his 1 million strong dictating the rules because there is no media outlet that is not subject to the all mighty dollar!

BewareTheBelievers
"The Believers" both on the left and the right must be watched! "The Believers" are those willing to crush others who do not agree with their beliefs whatever those beliefs may be! I'm a long-time activist for civil rights, women’s rights, 99%, unions, LGBT, #StopRush Feminist Slut, AARP, Hillary 2016, VETS! Left Democratic Party after what I saw as its 2008 betrayal of women! Returned to Democratic Party with a vengeance in 2011 due to Republicans' extreme religious zealot actions and I thought Obama’s 2012 re-election might be in jeopardy! I was still carrying the hurt I felt from the Democratic Party’s 2008 actions but there was no doubt which party supported the issues I support and which party does everything they can to destroy those same causes! So, rose-colored glasses are gone and I do now see BOTH political extremes clearly; but I’ll call the Democratic Party my home once again!
