He's full of crap. He's just accepting money from the folks who work for the special interest instead. Goldman Sachs (greediest walls treet investment firm) is his biggest contributer, because they are looking forward to making Billions off of the Carbon Cap and trade system. Politicians need money to get elected and Obama is no different.
McCain offered to only take federal money, no special interest money at all, and Obama declined the offer.

If you look up the Goldman Sachs folks on the Federal election commission website you will see that they are all giving the max of $2900 per election cycle. If they could make money off of it the folks at Goldman Sachs would crush your grandmother and sell her blood.
For some reason Goldman isnt giving John McCain any money I wonder why???
