John McCain: Obama lied about public financing

[CrimsonWhite]

An actual legitimate attack from McCain.

CNN) -- Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain sat down for an interview with CNN's Larry King on Wednesday.

The interview ran after his opponent, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, appeared in a paid television address on several major news and cable networks.

McCain denied that race will determine the outcome of next week's election pitting him against Barack Obama, who hopes to become the country's first black president. He said, "I am totally convinced that 99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent of Americans are going to make the decision based on who is best to lead this country."

McCain trails Obama by about 7 points in CNN's national Poll of Polls, and is also behind in some polls in must-win states.

Thank you, good interview!

 

[DavidS]

Obama breaks campaign finance promise? Old news.

 

[Coloradomtnman]

Old news and unimportant. Every politician lies or goes back on campaign promises. Read my lips, no new taxes. Get over it.

 

[rayboyusmc]

Find his quote. He never promised to use public funding. I believe he said he would pursue this option with the republican candidate if he was nominated.

John is pissed because for the first time the Dems have out moneyed the repubs.

Nasty cranky old man who needs rest, not the presidency.

McCain sort of skips over his flip flops in the interview. Socialism question on the 700 billion bailout. This is an emergency.

John is pissed because for the first time the Dems have out moneyed the repubs.

Trust me, if John was able to accept private donations like Obama is, you'd be seeing a whole new set of figures. I'm not saying John would match Obama, but it wouldn't be such a drastic margin.
