Got any CHANGE?

What is up with the Obama-mercial? Y'all please correct me if I'm wrong. He spent a ton of money to speak to America for half an hour in prime time. He got that money because he broke his promise to use public campaign financing.
Is anyone else thinking that Obama should take some of his own medicine? I mean, wouldn't all that money be better spent if he REDISTRIBUTED it to all of the needy people in America, or even the world? And since he wants the government to control how a major portion of my hard earned money is spent, I think it's only fair that I should be able to tell him how he spends his millions. But wait a minute, individual freedom is sacrifieced for the good of the collective in his socialist-in-democrat's-clothing-ideology. So what I think doesn't really matter.
And getting back to broken promises, how did the $250k salary threshold magically change to $200k?
What other campaign promises will he break? Maybe he'll decide to reduce the size of the government. Maybe he'll make sure that people who have worked hard for their success are not punished financially. Maybe he will appoint judges to overturn Roe v Wade. Maybe he'll make sure that we stay in Iraq to help stabilize the country until our presence is no longer needed.
But the way I see it, he has proven that he is a professional campaigner who cannot be trusted. The United States will have him as president at the peril of the American Dream.
