On February 1, 2007, Barack Obama, through his Obama Exploratory
Committee,
asked[1] the Federal Election Commission "whether, if Senator Obama
becomes
a candidate, [may he] provisionally raise funds for the general election
but
retain the option, upon nomination, of returning these contributions and
[accept] the public funds for which he would be eligible as the Democratic
Party's nominee."
Obama "used campaign donations generated by PACs and lobbyists to bankroll
the birth of his White House bid -- though he's banning that money for his
presidential 2008 race," Lynn Sweet re****ted[2] February 9, 2007, in the
Chicago Sun-Times.
"Obama's conversion to a laudable higher standard does not negate that
money
from sources he now disdains helped paved the way for his kickoff in
Springfield [Illinois] on Saturday [February 10, 2007].
"Obama has been raising campaign cash for two political pots -- Obama 2010
Inc., his Senate re-election committee, and the Hopefund, another war
chest.
Obama, until his recent conversion on the eve of his presidential run,
took
more than $1 million from political action committees.
"An examination of disbursements from the two funds reveals how Obama was
able to use legal loopholes commonly used by other presidential contenders
to pay for White House testing-of-the-water expenses," Sweet wrote.[3]
