On campaign financing: Obama
In Florida, looking for a smart energy strategy, questions Friday
about opting out of public funds use in his campaign cropped up
during Sen. Obama's session with reporters.
Sen. Obama doesn't want special interest money--and that is history
making.
"(To)free ourselves from dependence on special interest and lobbyists,"
is the reason for a decision not to use public funds--which are a mix of sometimes unidentifiable funding sources.
"That is not a recipe for reform," Obama told reporters.
So what is all of the fuss about? Obama is still committed to fixing the system. John McCain wants to limit however, the amount of funding Obama gets to use.
Republicans don't want Obama to get his message out--the message of
Change in states that traditionally are GOP territory--according to Jack Cafferty--sort of.
Sen. Obama made his comments from Jacksonville, FL after addressing a group there.
It looks like Sen. Obama is in it to win it.
When it was advantageous to McCain, he considered opting out of the
public finance system but I guess he changed his mind.
Sen. Obama also wondered aloud why McCain talked about trade Friday in Canada instead of Ohio or Michigan. Retooling NAFTA was an issue during the February Democratic debate co-moderated by the late Tim Russert.
We all have our own road to achieveing the American Dream.
"I come to politics because my own story. I wasn't born into wealth or privilege but was given extraordinary opportunity...the country allows you to make it if you try. I think it is the essence of the American dream and I think that dream is slipping away. It is the American Dream we are fighting for in this election," Sen. Obama said.

Pregnant with possibilities?
It seems a group of teen girls living near Boston made a pact to get pregnant around the same time and raise their babies together.
There are about 17 girls pregnant at the school where normally there would only be four per year.
School officials investigated and found out about the scheme.
Officials at the school health clinic became suspicious when the girls in question kept going to the clinic for multiple pregnancy tests and seemed disappointed when they came out negative.
One of the girls said she got pregnant by a "24-year-old homeless guy.
The school superintendent said the girls are generally girls who lack self esteem and love in their lives.
Seriously? Girls want to be teen mothers?
They must be well-off.
