Fundraisng Follies

Another example of Obama not being a true Democrat is his rejection of public financing. Now questions are being raised about his fundraising and the RNC is raising a stink over it.

There has always been something highly suspicious about all of the obscene amount of money he has raised.

Campaign 2008

Dumbbell Obama raised $66 million, which he is going to need since he stupidly bypassed public financing:

Mr. Plouffe said Sunday that the Obama campaign began September with $77 million in its bank account. Democratic officials said the party raised about $17 million in August and finished with a similar amount in the bank. The combined total gave Democrats an estimated $94 million in available cash for the presidential race. There is greater urgency, though, on behalf of Mr. Obama’s campaign since he did not receive $84 million from the Treasury — as Mr. McCain did — when he formally accepted his party’s nomination.



And what about the Republicans?

Mr. McCain set a personal record in August by raising $47 million. And Republicans started September with just more than $100 million, according to party officials and fund-raisers for Mr. McCain. That amount reflects money coming from the national committee, a balance left in Mr. McCain’s primary account that has been transferred to the party, and money held in a joint account for both entities, as well as several state parties.



What insane thinking went into Obama's head and his campaign's? This is MADNESS. The GOP is flush with cash, and this shithead just throws the Dem's chances away by rejecting public financing.

This alone will cost him the election.

This guy is a ringer; there is NO question of it.

Campaign Outrages

Despite reports "Obama's" fundraising numbers are down, he still managed to raise an obscene $52 million in June.

Speaking of the presumptuous nominee, it is the right wing who is at fault for his wife's constantly putting her foot in her mouth, not her fault. She's reportedly staying home while he's traipsing around overseas.

The interview is here for the record.

According to the National Review, "Obama" may have thrown out his legislative records, his medical records consist of a one-page summary, his list of law clients is unavailable, he won't release legal or billing records on the alleged five hours he worked on behalf of Rezko, and there's no paperwork for grants between 1997-2000. link

"Obama" gave out lots of cash when he was elected to the Illinois legislature.

Campaign Financing

Just in case you care, this writer from Newsweek seeks to explain why the most common myths about Obama's campaign finances are myths.

The trouble is the writer doesn't really explain the OBSCENE amount of cash Obama is raising. He was raising more in one month than the Mouth raised in all of his campaign in 2003-2004.

Something is seriously awry with this. Democrats are apeing Republicans with this obscene fundraising from what I think are questionable sources.

Excluding His Sleazy Chicago Backers,

Barack Obama has a money-raising machine that is the envy of the political world.

Obama is a gifted politician by anyone’s measure, but what distinguishes him from earlier insurgents is his ability to fully harness the excitement that his candidacy has created, in votes and in dollars. Three forces had to come together for this to happen: the effect of campaign-finance laws in broadening the number and types of people who fund the political process; the emergence of Northern California as one of the biggest sources of Democratic money; and the recognition by a few Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists that the technology and business practices they had developed in their day jobs could have a transformative effect on national politics.


Barack is gifted, all right, but in ways that will surely get him indicted in the near future.

His donors are what made him, and his donors are will ruin him.

This article is a good example of why we need public financing of elections.

Campaign Notes.

With the obscene amount of money Obama is raising, with more money raised in a month than the Mouth did all during the 2003-2004 season, just WHO is financing him?

Speaking of which, his call for campaign finance reform is downright hilarious.
