Obama declining public funding

0 Barack Obama declined public campaign funding and decided to raise money on his own for his election campaign. McCain immediately lashed out at him saying he didn't keep his promise. The reason Barack Obama broke his promise was that he realized he could raised more money than the amount provided by public funding of 85 million dollars. Obama defended his decision saying public funding is corrupted. I think Obama made a really smart move but probably he should have kept his promise because the move shows that he's not trustable.02br
