Another request for donations arrived in the inbox today. The messages supposedly are from any of a number of Obama people such as Michelle, Joe Biden, or the campaign manager.
John Kerry is the “author” of the latest solicitation complaining that Bob Perry, who contributed to the organization, "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," that helped expose the more than lackluster Viet Nam "Service" of John Kerry, just donated $3 Million to the Republicans.
He critically says, "One man. Three million dollars. And that's just the start." But, a million from Bill Maher is no problem.
Could this be because Obama's fundraising is way down? The DNC raised 45 million in February, and it isn't known how it will be split among all candidates. Obama himself raised about 34 million dollars in February compared to 55 million in 2008. His super PAC Priorities USA Action spent $684,489 against Mitt Romney, but only took in $59,000 in January. Half as many big donors are writing him checks than at this point in 2008.
He is making an assertive effort to get $2 and $3 donations. Emails requesting that amount come one or two times a day. And, he has just unleashed a massive text message contribution solicitation where the text message says, ““Support Pres Obama in less than a minute using our new secure system. Just reply with the amount you want to give and we’ll charge your saved credit card.”
Some, like Bruce Springsteen, are complaining that Obama has acted too slowly in job creation, and that he hasn't stopped foreclosures "somehow." He also says that he is "too friendly" to corporations. Obama held a $38,000 a plate fundraiser for Wall Street on March first.
Other big Democrat pocketbooks are dropping out. Some wealthy liberals and Wall Street executives...

How inconvenient.
The only difficulty he ever experienced was to get himself born...and that effort was only as strenuous for him as it ever is for anyone else!
From that point on, it has been handouts and consideration from others .... he isn't even his own person in any sense of the word!! Actual effort, struggle and achievement based on merit are foreign concepts to him, I am sure.
Go entertain yourself, Lurch.
Kerry has stumbled into a correct analysis. The American People are putting Truth to the fraud that Obama has been peddling. That is what it means to be Swiftboated.
