A Broken Promise

CNN's Campbell Brown, of all people, writes today about Obama breaking the first promise he made to the American people:

"One year ago, he made a promise. He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits.

Then it became clear to Sen. Obama and his campaign that he was going to be able to raise on his own far more cash than he would get with public financing. So Obama went back on his word."

It is because of this broken promise that Obama is able to buy 30 minutes of airtime on five different TV networks tonight.

I just want all you to remember that as you watch Obama tonight. How can you believe anything he says when the very airtime he purchased to speak to you is based on a broken promise?
