Obama's money woes

[Balt Observer]

President Obama has money troubles. The president's re-election campaign was rumored to be a $1 billion juggernaut, it was supposed to dominate the 2012 election. But it has fallen short of that lofty number, by a lot.

The inability to reach the big B is a warning signal to the base. In 2008 Democrats had every reason in the world to donate, and they need to be convinced of the same this time around.

Of course part of the problem stems from Super PACs, groups that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on candidates, as long as they do not co-ordinate with those candidates. The disparity between the Super PAC backing Obama -- Priorities USA -- and the conservative one affiliated with Karl Rove -- American Crossroads -- is stark: American Crossroads has ten times as much money in the bank as Priorities USA.

More bad news for Hussein. He's going to be outspent. He might want to take a page out of the Taliban manual and launch a guerrilla war.

What? Not even a single libbie wants to reach into their wallet and spare poor Hussein a dollar? For shame. No wonder he's going to lose.

Funny thing is it's been the right all along claiming that they'd be going up against Obama's billion dollar machine... I don't think I've ever once heard the Obama campaign itself claim that they would raise a billion dollars... have you?

[Balt Observer]

Maybe you should donate and help him out.

Just sayin

[michiganjoe]

Mr. Obama ended February with 12 times the cash on hand as Mr. Romney.

[Balt Observer]

The super PACS will blow Hussein out of the water, and you very well know it, "Joe".

More classic dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge from Balt Observer. You didn't address my point. Here's the scenario:

-Right says Obama will have a 1 billion dollar warchest
-Obama campaign never makes such a claim
-Obama campaign isn't raking in the 1 billion dollars the right, and only the right claimed it would
-Conclusion, Obama has money troubles cause he doesn't have the billion bucks he never claimed he would have...

Sounds kinda ridiculous to me, but hey whatever floats your boat.

What's the bottom line? Hussein will be outspent massively and shelled into oblivion.

It helps being a modern conservative if you are slow witted.

Whatever it takes to erase the Hope and Change faker out of the record books is fine by me.

That's the kind of selfish idiotic thinking that will doom this entire country to be nothing more than subjects in a kingdom ruled by corporations and the uber wealthy.

They earned the right to be uber-rich by being born rich though. I think that's how the reasoning goes.

Somehow, I don't believe you would feel the same way if it was Obama that had the massive campaign war chest. It would probably be more a means to an end, to your reasoning.

[soulflower]

Obama is crushing Romney in campaign cash and he will crush Romney at the polls in November

[Balt Observer]

And when all else fails, stick your fingers in your ears, your head in the sand, and start yelling at the top of your lungs.

Wonder if Mitt will use his Swiss account that he failed to disclose on his tax return.
Flip Flop Mitt has about as much chance as Newt.

The race hasn't begun and Obama is already spanking him by double digits.

Balt Observer the tooth fairy isn't real.

You're exactly right, the race hasn't begun and the heavy shelling of your liberal demigod has yet to begin.

Somehow you'd be dead wrong. What I'm talking about has nothing to to with partisan politics. I know that being a hyper partisan that's hard for you to imagine. For me it's abou the incedibly corrupting influence of money in our political system. What these billionaires and zillionaires and corporations are allowed to do now transcends party. We are headed toward a nation of, by and for the uber rich and it's sad that you don't seem to care because this time around it's going to benefit your guy.
