This is interesting.  Barack Obama spoke out in favor of public financing in 2006 arguing that it would cost taxpayers less in the long run because of all the requests for pork projects and other “shenanigans” tied to private campaign contributions.

Now he has refused to accept public financing as he originally supported.  Watch the video.

Look how Barack Obama criticizes pork projects.  He himself has requested well over $300 million in earmarks.  He criticizes pork barrel spending and earmarks and he is a huge participant in it.

How can anybody give any credibility to anything Obama says when his behavior contradicts everything he claims to stand for?  We are talking about massive hypocrisy here.  Hypocrisy, lies, and outright fraud.
