Team Obama to donors: Get off sidelines and send cash now
The Hill ^ | May 31, 2012 | Amie Parnes

President Obama’s campaign team and top supporters are telling donors they need to get off the sidelines now so they can compete with GOP super-PACS waging an expected $1 billion campaign against them.

The deluge of cash from outside groups backing Republican Mitt Romney has prompted a sense of urgency among Obama’s supporters. Their message to donors is simple: send money now.

TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: cash; obama
Perhaps the biggest surprise for me is Romney will have more money, directly and indirectly, than Obama.

I'm not surprised. I thought the early predictions for Obama’s 1 billion reelection take were overblown.

Guess those who have profited from BO’s taxpayer-funded stimulus bonanza better fork over his cut now, or they’ll be added to his Enemies List. Intimidation and threats are essential to Chicago-style politics.

"...send cash now!"

That sounds all too familiar....bailout money to bailout various companies too big to .........no, no, to pay off the Unions who got this man his current job, while paying off others to keep him at his job....and to let government take over...how many Auto showrooms were closed while others were left open....Obama is a master at taking money out of our treasury to use as he sees fit. The Obama's have amassed an enormous fortune in three and a half short years - America is crumbling....where did/do they get the money....Michelle quit her faux job and the Presidency doesn't pay for them to live so lavishly............

Reminds me of the famous shortwave preacher Dr. Gene Scott, who never wasted time on PBS-type begging, the soft-sell or subtle urgings like most of them do - he’d just rant for a while and then holler “NOW! Get on the damn phone!” - and play music until the required total had been received in pledges.

Some of the music was pretty good.

You'll remember how cockily Obama was bragging about how he'd raise and spend $1B to totally overwhelm any opponent. Well now, lookie here, seems the braggart is having trouble raising the bucks while the opposition is flush with cash. Sweet.
