WASHINGTON -- It has been a very rough patch for Our President, and I do believe it is going to get rougher still. Do not be surprised, as the month goes on and August runs into September, that his campaign budget becomes tighter. President Barack Obama is spending more money than he is raising. It will get worse. A president who mismanages the federal budget the way Obama does cannot be expected to manage his campaign budget much better. Lavish spending, it turns out, is a way of life for the community organizer who became our 44th president. Lavish spending on Campaign 2012 will be looked back on and seen as one of the campaign's greatest weaknesses. He can spend the money, but my guess is he will not be able to raise it.
Yet this week he had other headaches too. This week, "Politico" finally reported the dissension and backbiting that have been rumored for weeks within the campaign. You will be hearing a lot about this in the weeks ahead. The magical team that David Axelrod and David Plouffe put together in 2008 is falling apart.
At "The American Spectator," we reported years ago that this team was in reality the greenest pack of greenhorns ever assembled to take over a White House. For over three years, the mainstream media have covered for the Obama galoots. It is a perfect example of the Taranto Principle by which the mainstream media's biased reporting only encourages liberal excess. Well, now Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett and all the rest of Obama's minor figures who aspired to be major players are at each other's throats. It will fall to the president to gather them up and lead them to one more term in the White House. Except that as Ron Suskind demonstrated in his excellent book, "Confidence Men," Obama does not lead. He cannot. He just walked out on another meeting.
But there is more. Niall Ferguson dominated the cover of "Newsweek" to tabulate the carnage that is our economy. Also he added up the foreign policy failures of the administration. It does not look good. Ferguson rather rudely asked Obama to "Hit the Road, Barack." Finally, the president reported that his dog Bo is overweight and will be going on a diet.
So with all this drear, Our President hastily called a press conference the other day. He has not held one in months. He attempted to say that his charges that Mitt Romney has been responsible for at least one death and is a tax cheat were not outside the "bounds" of presidential discourse. "If you look at the overall trajectory of our campaign," he said, "and the ads that I've approved and are produced by my campaign, you'll see that we point out sharp differences between the candidates, but we don't go out of bounds." Actually, if Romney is responsible for all the misdeeds Obama has laid to him, he should not be running for president. He should be behind bars.
Lately in Washington the scurrilous tone of Obama's campaign has even made the mainstream media uneasy. They again launch into their false theater about how "both sides do it and oh woe is us." They cite the Obama campaign's claims about the dead woman and Romney's taxes. They mention Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager, who charged Romney with a "felony" for the way he exited his business connection with Bain Capital. Then they bring in their examples of the Republicans' excesses. Inevitably, they go back to 2004 and the charges that Senator John Kerry, then the Democratic candidate for president, had his war record mangled by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and other Republican apparatchiks. Though wait! The Swift Boat Veterans spoke the truth. They even relied on taped Congressional hearings before which Kerry charged his fellow combatants with war crimes. His problem was his record in Vietnam, not the Swift Boat Veterans' allegations. The mainstream media also trot out an allegation about Romney claiming that the Obama Administration is "gutting" welfare. Two Republicans, they say, were among the governors who asked for some sort of waiver on welfare. The Republicans deny it. It is all pretty thin gruel.
Let us come to the point. Obama is reaching out to his very own special constituency. It is composed of those who believe that the Republicans would put up as their candidate for the presidency a person who in his business life would engage in fraud, tax evasion, even murder. Obama is casting his net for the moron vote. I do not believe that there are enough morons out there to reelect him.
The Obama machine acts like they believe the Mayan 2012 end of the world theory and are just spending away everything like they have no tomorrow.
That is the problem, everyone believes that there will be no tomorrow.
I don't know about that statement. I was always told that 50% of the people you meet in life are morons. The key here is getting the morons to the voting booth.
“I do not believe that there are enough morons out there to reelect him...”
It seems that the author may not live in a blue state.
Just saying.
‘Seems simple enough to me. He’ll simply default on everything he can’t hit the taxpayers with. It’s the democratic way.
An excellent point! Now his supporters can watch him waste THEIR money just like he's wasted ours the last 4 years.
Remember, the low turnout to Zero’s campaign stops is DELIBERATE.
If you believe that, I have some lovely swampland to sell to you.
This could be a very, very important point for the Romney campaign to begin making now, and to continue pointing out as we move toward November.
The reason is the fact that, as President, Obama can spend our kids' money by printing and borrowing more. As a candidate, he can only spend what he is able to raise.
When hearing that Obama spent his campaign funds too early, and it is part of the cause of his dropping in the polls, the most disappointed will be his core constituencies. They may begin to see him as the loser he's always been. It will be very dispiriting to his base.
What he's doing to his campaign is analogous to what he's been doing to the country.

&&&
Well, no, there are not enough morons among legitimate voters, but with the help of illegal and multiple votes the Rats are golden for this election.
If he wins, there is no tomorrow for this republic.
I don’t think Obama knows what ‘OUT OF BOUNDS’ even means.
No one has ever told this POS ‘NO’ in his entire life.
With more than 2 months left in this campaign, I am expecting anything out of the Chicago mob style of politicking.
The only good part of all of his bahavior, IMO, is that more & more fence sitters will see him for what he really is....or at least a glimpse of what he really is.
Perhaps people like me who have not trusted him since he came onto the National scene will be vindicated.
I am pretty good at saying “I told you so”, also.

I personally am delighted that $1 million from each Morgan Freeman & Bill Maher is mingled with all that other monty Obama is wasting.

let’s hope that is true.
2012 Team Ohaha is using the 2008 Anita (Mao) Dunn strategy to manipulate voters, to downplay Ohaha's destructive policies ....and his scary plans for the next term. Dunn said later, THEY, and only THEY, decided what the media should know about 2008 candidate Ohaha.
The 2012 Ohaha campaign keeps fudging its campaign income and outgo reports---as a way to build "deniability" in order to fool the voters.
Ohaha has tons of money secreted all over the place....and he grabbed control of the census---that means he's got all the CV he needs to falsify FEC reports. There are people "donating" to Ohaha that have no idea they are financing his reelection.
====================================================
ACTION NOW: ATTACK THE MO OHAHA INTENDS TO USE TO GET REELECTED.
Remember, voter fraud is the Chi/mobs' specialty---do NOT underestimate Rahm and Axelrod (both running O's reelection), and Valerie whatsherface in the WH.
Let us not forget----the minute they hit the WH, the Chi/mob went into action: the WH Chi/mob took over the census---and now have all the CV they need to file phony FEC reports using stolen federal dollars falsified as campaign contributions.
Do not underestimate the wealth of cash the Ohahas/Chi-mob can come up with to rig the election......remember, these are the kingpins of corrupt Chicago politics. At one time, conscientious FEC investigators verified money was coming from legal citizens....but if Obama wins there will be no investigations.
There are billions unaccounted for in Obama's "stimulus" packages (some used in the last election cycle).....the Ohaha kingpins have tons of money stashed away for 2012.
==================================================
POINTS TO PONDER
<><> author Dean Koontz estimates there's about $90 billion missing from the US Treasury.
<><> Ohaha's ex-COS Chi/Mayor Rahm Emanuel is running the reelection campaign---this Wall Street turd knows where all the money is hidden. Rahm also controlled all US Treasury assets (at Obama's behest) when he was COS.
=======================================
WATCH FOR PHONY FEC REPORTS from "Obama for America" and two other DNC-joint fundraising committees — the "Obama Victory Fund" and the "Swing State Victory Fund,"......and whatever other voter frauds they dream up.
============================================
Obama's 2012 reelection motto: "Don't worry--we're harmless"
“Let us come to the point. Obama is reaching out to his very own special constituency.

I hate to say this but why shouldn’t the dimmies think that people would believe such things? Look what the dimmiekrats put up for a candidate, a man of totally unknown origins who cannot manage to open his mouth without lying and who is known to associate with criminal types including a homegrown terrorist. I could go on and on but I need to get some sleep tonight. I hope there are not enough morons out there to reelect him but let’s face it, it was the morons who elected him in 2008. I didn’t think there were enough morons to reelect Clinton but I was obviously wrong. If there exists anything at all which America has in great surplus it is morons.
Better than a bridge to nowhere....
I got a shiny new high speed train to nowhere in CA to sell to that guy.
