Obama Campaign ‘Assumed’ Romney Would Raise More Money, Advisor Says

That’s what the president’s top political strategist, David Plouffe, told me on GMA when I asked him about the Obama Campaign’s fundraising pitch entitled “We could lose if this continues” that was blasted out following the news that Romney outraised the president by $35 million in June.

“We assumed all along that Governor Romney and the RNC would out-raise us. The real new dynamic in this race is obviously the Super PAC,” he said.

After losing the fundraising battle for two consecutive months, Plouffe said this morning that “money matters in politics” but “you have to have enough money to run and win your campaign and our big concern is these SuperPACs who are, you know, you’ve got a few very wealthy people lining up, trying to purchase the White House for Mr. Romney.”

Today the Republican National Committee Chairman will take Obama on in the same Iowan town. About one hour before the president holds a roundtable discussion in Cedar Rapids, Reince Priebus will unveil a new line of attack against Obama labeling him as an “outsourcer-in-chief.”

How do you tell a Romney supporter from an Obama supporter?

Romney supporters sign their checks on the front;

Obama supporters sign 'em on the back.

I’m just blown away by the number of lies that come out of the Osama admin.

If something doesn’t happen the way they predict or say its gonna happen (which is practically EVERY time)...they just make sh!t up.

And most folks don’t even pay attention...including the Republicans.

We have cats. Observation: Cats will do the darndest things such as leap up onto a credenza, or other taller furniture, miss their target, and fall on their behinds immediately recouping themselves and begin licking their paws as though “Yeah!?, So what you laffin’ at peeples that’s the way it was supposed to happen”.

I get the feeling somebody in the Obama campaign has cats.

That’s a good’un. I wonder if I can squeeze all of that on a t-shirt?

Rope what exactly?

Like who is clueless about union money going to Democrats?

Why would Obama deliberately raise less money just to trick people?

“Like who is clueless about union money going to Democrats?”

Like those numbers are like not included in the campaign totals. Like Union political spending far exceeds their reported federal campaign and lobbying spending.

They are not deliberately raising less. They are just not reporting all that they have raised.

Maybe I’m losing my mind. Seems I remember nobama shooting off his big mouth (racism!) about being able to raise a cool billion for this campaign.

By the end of this campaign, we’ll also hear Team Obama say, “I know you are, but what am I?”
