It was reported yesterday that Barack Obama decided to break his pledge to enter into the public financing system.

No great surprise - it’s not as if he’s been honest or consistent. This is just the latest flip flop, and as usual he has a bad excuse.

When trying to explain why he was declining public funding yesterday, Obama cited the role of third party groups, own as 527 groups, saying that McCain is “not going to stop the smears and attacks from his allies running so-called 527 groups, who will spend millions and millions of dollars in unlimited donations.”

That is a pretty lame excuse considering liberal 527 groups spent $146 million during the last Presidential election, while conservative 527 groups spent $46 million over the same time.

And this year, liberal 527 groups are, again, raising and spending far more than conservatives.

Once again, Democrats are cornering the marketing on hate and fear, and they’ll be spending more than ever between their 527 groups and the broken pledge fundraising of Obama.

I guess the public financing system isn’t the one he used to know.
