BARACK OBAMA'S PUBLIC FINANCING FLIP-FLOP
CONCORD - Fergus Cullen, Chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, made the following statement today on Barack Obama backing out of the public financing system:
"Today Barack Obama broke his promise to the American people by backing out of the public financing system he previously said he would participate in. Obama may claim to represent a ‘new' kind of politics, but judging by his actions he is nothing more than a typical politician, willing to do or say anything when it's politically expedient."
