In a USA Today Op-Ed piece, Barack Obama responded to the issue of spending limits in the general election. He will seek an agreement, but it will not be an easy agreement to craft since supporters on both sides can cheat the system.

Let’s see if the press is capable of reporting on this issue in a fair manner. They will actually have to dig in and understand the issue, which means it might take longer than a 30-second explanation. They have 24 hours per day available on cable news, so one would hope they could deal with this responsibly. Unfortunately, that might be too much to ask.
