Romney Blames Obama for His Campaign Challenges

[karynnj]

89. Obama opted out in 2008 to avoid the dilemma that Kerry faced in 2004

2004 was the first campaign affected by McCain/Feingold. Kerry, long time proponent of even stricter campaign finance laws did not opt out - so he had the sme amount of money for a 13 week general election campaign that Bush had for 8 weeks.

This meant he could not throw big dollars in ads at the swiftboat liars without leaving the campaign running on fumes at the end. It was Kerry who was put out by Obama to defend Obama's decision not to accept public money when infinite money could be thrown against him.

As to Obama "lying about" Romney - my question is "on what?" The clearest lie in either campaign is Romney's on welfare. It seems that Romney regrets losing the uneven playing field of 2004.

Not to mention what makes this bogus is Romney could give his campaign a billion dollars if he chose to as his own contribution is not limited.
