Yea I disagreed with that comment as well. The secret to this issue is that it is nearly impossible for the presidency as a branch of the government to pass this law. Who the president is doesn't really matter. Legislative power mainly lies in the congress, and with that gives them a lot of power. The only way I could see meaningful change in campaign finance is if another political party somehow gained a foot hole in the US congress.
