Obama breaks promise on campaign finance

# Story Highlights
# Campbell Brown: Obama pledged to accept public financing last year
# But, she says, he switched when he realized he could earn more on his own
# He's rolling in dough earned on a broken promise

One year ago, he made a promise. He pledged to accept public financing and to work with the Republican nominee to ensure that they both operated within those limits.

Then it became clear to Sen. Obama and his campaign that he was going to be able to raise on his own far more cash than he would get with public financing. So Obama went back on his word.

On this issue today, former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, an Obama supporter, writes in The New York Post, "a hypocrite is a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue -- who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. And that, it seems to me, is what we are doing now."
Just another politician corrupted by money.
