Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) announced Thursday morning that he will not accept public financing for the general election, a move that will give him a major advantage over Republican standard-bearer Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

Obama...Who cares what is right or what I said. Just look at all the gobbs of cash I've raised since I said I would accept public financing. It's obvious that I now have an advantage which I'm going to use regardless of what I said or what is right for the system. After-all...It's all about winning.

Well he did not really use the words in the second paragraph but he might as well have. So much for him being a different kind of politician.
