Supposedly, Barak Obama decided to forego public campaign funding due to a deficit and an unwillingness to be pressured by the evil forces of PAC's. So how do you explain this?
"...Obama said he now eschews public financing because the devil (McCain and the GOP) made him do it; Obama supposedly is at a disadvantage because they are "fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and special-interest PACs."

Obama, after he sewed up enough delegates to win the party's nomination, sent word to the DNC to stop accepting PAC and lobbyist donations...."
