Brit Hume praises Obama opt-out of public funds
Fox’s Brit Hume agrees with Barack Obama’s decision not to take public funds to run his campaign.
Hume said, “It’s a flip-flop. It’s worth it. And I say by and large good for him for a couple of reasons. One is that Obama really has proved that the limits necessary, because of public financing, if you take it, do not merely screen out the evil influence of all the rich people in America, but they also make it impossible for a great many individual donors to make their voices heard through their contributions.”
