Cash-poor Obama says no to Reid
politico via Yahoo news ^ | sept 16,2008 | John Bresnahan

Posted on 09/16/2008 6:01:46 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal appeal to Barack Obama: Help me grow the Democrats’ Senate majority by sharing some of the $77 million you’ve got in the bank.

Obama’s campaign said no.

Although Democratic insiders say a better deal could still come, the Obama campaign so far has agreed only to let Senate Democrats use Obama’s name — as well as those of his wife and running mate — in mail and online fundraising pitches. The campaign has planned no joint fundraising events with House or Senate Democrats, and insiders say none is likely to be held before Election Day.

I think Obama is a POS.

But even I do not slight him for not giving any money to Reid.

He would just spend it on kiddie porn.

Its all about the “O.” Does anyone know if he helped out the Clintons with their debt?

Could he be paying fees for Hill and Bill to do campaign appearances?

Just askin'.

Wonder how much those 300 foreign policy advisors cost?

Can you imagine how long it takes to get a concensus on a policy matter from 300 people?

With his burn rate the way it is, I wonder if the “contingency” that he sent up to Alaska has round trip tickets.....

This sounds like what he did to Hillary. What comes around goes around and this could finish Obama if the race remains close and he needs party help.

Between Obama and Hillary, they really put a hurt on the Democrat donor base. The little people have coughed up a lot of small donations for Obama, but people don’t have a lot of extra cash lying around now with gas, food and other necessities continuing to rise.

Obama’s having a big Hollywood fundraiser, but I think so far he has tried to distance himself from the left coast elite. Hobnobbing with them shows that he’s out of touch with the bitter clingers.

Someone should put together an article on what his spending in office would be like, considering his election spending rates.

Considering the current economics on Wall St., might make for a timely piece.

Have you noticed that Obama has been going it alone alot lately.. NO Hillary, No Bill Clinton, No Pelosi, No Howard Dean, No John Kerry,No Jesse Jackson, Not even Michelle Obama out there stumping with him. Could it be because his real friends.. Rezko is in jail, and his other real pals are too shady to be seen.

I've often wondered why his supporters talk about the 300 advisers as though it was a good thing. It would just mean chaos at a practical level. Anyway, what matters most is the person at the top.

They all agreed to help him but I don’t see a lot of them around on the TV news, just his campaign staff and a few others.

"Unfortunately, it was only his middle name."

LOL!

“Kerry had Tereza Heinz, who does Obama have? besides Streisand?”

You’re forgetting, he’s got the other BIG “O,” Oprah.

Emperors have no need of legislators.

. . . the Obama campaign so far has agreed only to let Senate Democrats use Obama’s name — as well as those of his wife and running mate . . .

I'm beginning to think we can win back the House and Senate.
