Obama Supporters Barraged With Pleas for Cash
nytimes.com ^ | August 1, 2012 | MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Posted on 08/01/2012 11:24:19 AM PDT by BarnacleCenturion

Each plea for money from President Obama and his allies has become more urgent and desperate than the last.

His campaign’s chief operating officer said on Monday that “we’ve gotten our behinds handed to us.”

Vice President Joe Biden warned on the same day that Mr. Obama would lose if “the other side spends us into oblivion.”

Michele Obama worried aloud about waking up on election day “wondering if I could have done more.” And Al Gore, the former vice president, said victories by the “extremist fringe” would “spell disaster” for the country.

The answer, according to all of them? A donation of $3 (or more) by midnight on Tuesday. (The e-mails don’t say “Pretty please!” — yet.)

Ted Cruz, TEA Party candidate for the Senate who won in TX last night, spent about half as much as his GOP establishment opponent spent.

The Dems are setting up an excuse for the disastrous loss they know is coming in Nov. As for me and my house, we will crawl to the polls on broken glass to throw this bum out of the White House.

Hate or hate Romney more but the guy is getting done fundraising unlike McQueeg did in 2008. I think the Obama team got caught flat footed on that one. They blew their wad with Bain, did not work, if you beleive the polls they are dead even which means Romney is ahead 2-4 points and in battleground states like Ohio Obama may lose 5-10 points off his 2008 numbers.

I’ve never contributed to any political party and I’m not a “Romney-bot” but all these pleas from O to send him a few bucks incline me to send a few to Romney.

The comments on that site are pretty telling if accurate.

You should probably toss your cookies first as well. Better to do it in the can than on the keyboard.

The Obama campaign was raising money the same way in 2008. What’s different this time around?

Good idea!

At the rate our economy is going, that is about all our paper dollars will be worth eventually.

I wonder how long it will be before Obama issues an Executive Order authorizing donations to be made using EBT Cards.

Not to allow this would be racist.

Dig down through the comments on the NYT page. One of them mentions Freepers!

The majority of ridiculous comments on this post are no surprise at all, given that the article was linked to on Drudge. Keep on keepin' on, freepers.

I get these emails from The One-ster all the time.

They are incredibly pathetic and really brighten up my day.

“we’ve gotten our behinds handed to us.”

I've heard Moochelle is hitting the Rocky Road pretty hard these days.
