Re: "Campaign financing for one..." Oh! (You mean that one time when he said he would 'probably' use the public financing. :-) Exactly the same flip-flop Mac's campaign had. :-) McCain's campaign first said that they WOULD take public financing... then they formally sent a letter to the Federal Elections Commission asking to withdraw from public financing - but it was sent after the legal deadline for withdrawal, then they decided that they would take it after all. <g> Re: "Obama is backing away from his "out in six months" promise on Iraq withdrawal" ('Backing away'??????? where have you been? They haven't used that time frame estimate for two years now. <g>) Re: "OBama is using old timers in his admin when he campaigned on Change," (Hiring people with government experience does not necessarily mean that you will not be changing policies in government. Actually, it might just mean that you will be more capable of changing things, since you will be less likely to be tripped-up over lack of institutional knowledge, like Carter and Clinton were early on.) Re: "he accused opponents of using race when he used it el maximo," Sorry, I don't recall any instances of that, (let alone 'maximo' ones!) Can you point to any? Re: "We have permanent bases constructed in many parts of Iraq." You need to put that word 'permanent' inside quotation marks. Iraq is supposedly a sovereign country again. Most likely those bases will be handed over to them. (And the Billions of taxpayer money will have been spend on really nice concrete for the Iraqis....)
