Obama campaign: Romney fundraising edge means ‘we’re in trouble’
Yahoo! News ^ | August. 6, 2012 | Olivier Knox

President Barack Obama's re-election campaign warned supporters in an email plea for cash on Monday that Mitt Romney's vast fundraising edge means "we're in trouble" with scarcely three months to go before Election Day.

"We got beat three months in a row," the campaign said in the unsigned message. "If we don't step it up, we're in trouble."

The appeal came hours after the two sides released their July fundraising totals, revealing that Romney and the Republican Party scooped up $101 million against the $75 million hauled in by Obama and the Democrats.

“Where is S0r0$ when you need him? The Goldman Sack? The Islamic Caliphate?”

Obama’s trouble is not that he’s not raising enough money. It’s that the American people are sick to the gut of his rot!

A national can of Raid is about to be unleashed on this cad of a pest!

Seems like Obama needs a bailout.

Just wait until the Democratic National Convention tries to put support for same-sex marriages as part of the party plank. The backlash would make what happened with Chick-fil-A seem like a minor event in comparison, especially since most of the US voters still do NOT approve of this!

Is Romney working to raise money, or is it falling in his lap? I think it may be the latter. We have seen no fundraising ads or materials of any kind for Romney at our house. I think what may really be bothering the Obama camp is that they are begging for money and losing the money chase, while Romney is just campaigning.

I've gotten Romney fundraising materials in the mail, but not an overwhelming amount for this time in a Presidential election year.

IMHO - This is classic misdirection and a halfa**ed attempt to position himself as the underdog.

The real test will be if O’Bozo elects to reject public funding for the fall presidential campaign as he did in 2008.

Just more disinformation. If his campaign was sitting on a a billion, and who knows perhaps they are, they would still be gnashing their teeth.

It’s a fundraising tactic.

My suspicion is that it’s going to be a close election. A lot of money will be spent by the two candidates trying to distinguish themselves, when their underlying philosophical differences aren’t that significant.

The gop-e should’ve run a conservative.

I agree. The GOOP has shoved the most liberal POTUS candidate down our throat since Gerald Ford. We lose no matter what. The best hope for our country is to elect conservatives to the senate and house. 4 years of gridlock may save this country

If Obama the candidate were the same as Obama the president he wouldn't have to worry so much about money. The sorry truth is that Obama is a Little Theater thespian in a $1,500 suit. But if he raises enough money he can run more commercials portraying himself as something he isn't. He blew a trillion dollars on the “Stimulus” and how many jobs did we get for all that money? A hell of a lot less than we got from Bush's trillion-dollar wars.

In March the MSM was bragging that Obama would be the first to raise $1 billion in a Presidential campaign.

Wrong. Running the USA into the ground and rubbing voters’ noses in it means you are in trouble.

Fans of the Ulsterman Report know that it is the Wall Street

In 2008 the cults of the left were disciplined and united, this time around the arrogance and bullying tendencies have surfaced, and president dipstick is seen as chasing their lead.

Normally, the republican candidates pick up a much higher percentage of their campaign donations in smaller amounts from more people than the dems. Wonder how that’s holding up this cycle? I don’t know anyone who would donate to romney. I figure since the establishment wanted him so badly, they can fund him as well.
