The reason this matters is that Obama has been caught in a lie and the media, for once, isn't letting him slide on it right now. Even some of his most vociferous supporters know that if Obama wins this way he can be credibly accused of "buying" this election and that he has struck a blow at one of the left's biggest complaints about running for office... the "corrupting" influence of money in campaigning.

p>Personally I have no problem with a candidate raising his own money to campaign on, but it does matter when the candidate has pledged to play by the campaign finance rules and then bailed out at his first opportunity. And the worst of it is that he has tried to make excuses for his actions instead of taking responsibility for them. That matters to me and it will probably matter to a whole lot of those independent "swing" voters who were looking at him as a political change of pace. This may be the point where they start to recognize him for what he is: just another politician. br> -- Eric Edwards br> Walnut Cove, North Carolina /p>

It is amazing!

The words were barely out of my computer's mouth when Barack Obama went and proved them once again (as if they needed to be proven).

This is the essence of what I wrote on Friday:

"The recent history of the Democratic Party -- both in politics and in government -- has been a steady stream of broken promises and broken own-rules.

"It's a pattern, I tell you, a pattern!"

Absolute monarchs, you see, are exempt from rules. They are exempt even from rules they make themselves.

p>Look on, ye mighty, at a future under Barack the Exempt and his Democrat minions, and despair. br> --
