“Senator Obama’s words are contradicted by deeds. He said he would — he pledged to take public financing as now Senator McCain has pledged. He has just reversed that pledge.
–Hillary Clinton surrogate Lanny Davis, CNN Late Edition

Obama spokesman Bill Burton on Thursday called public financing “an option that we wanted on the table,” but said “there is no pledge” to take the money and the spending limitations that come with it.

Obama Renigs on Public Financing

Before Barack Obama was the presumptive Democratic nominee - before he was even the frontrunner - the then long-shot candidate signed a pledge in February 2007 that if he would accept public financing in the general election if the Republican nominee agreed to do the same.

The candidate touted this pledge in a candidate’s questionnaire from the Midwest Democracy Network in November of last year. He wrote, “In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election….If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”
