There's no problem with Obama declining public financing. He has that right.
What irks me is his reasoning that public financing is "irreparably" a "broken system" so that is why he must decline its use. Bullshit. Why doesn't he just tell the truth: he can raise (and spend!) more money outside of public financing and that is what fuels a presidential campaign. I guess that would be too honest. Underneath the pretty words, he's a politician after all!
Not that McCain is handling it any better. Attacking Obama for breaking a promise, instead of conceding the guy just has a better fundraising machine? It's not helping his case.
