Letter from Obama

[CPL_Primeaux]

I am signed up on the Obama web site. This is the kind of **** they have been sending out. Michelle Obama send garbage like this out as well. I think I joined it because of that rumor watch thing he had going a while back.

"Friend --

I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent in his re-election campaign, if things continue as they have so far.

I'm not just talking about the super PACs and anonymous outside groups -- I'm talking about the Romney campaign itself. Those outside groups just add even more to the underlying problem.

The Romney campaign raises more than we do, and the math isn't hard to understand: Through the primaries, we raised almost three-quarters of our money from donors giving less than $1,000, while Mitt Romney's campaign raised more than three-quarters of its money from individuals giving $1,000 or more.

And, again, that's not including the massive outside spending by super PACs and front groups funneling up to an additional billion dollars into ads trashing me, you, and everything we believe in.

We can be outspent and still win -- but we can't be outspent 10 to 1 and still win.

More than 2.2 million Americans have already chipped in for us, and I'm so grateful for it. As we face this week's fundraising deadline, can you make a donation of $3 or more today?

Every donation you make today automatically enters you to join Michelle and me for one of the last grassroots dinners of this campaign -- today is your last chance to get your name in.

These dinners represent how we do things differently. My opponent spent this past weekend at a secretive retreat for the biggest donors to both his campaign and the super PACs that support him.

I've got other responsibilities I'm attending to.

Donate today to stand for our kind of politics:

Its not politics without MONEY!
Why do we need to buy politicians!
They are self serving and can be bought!

 

[Gus McCrae]

I don't see what the big deal is. I'm sure Romney sends out similar stuff.

Most will say this is a good thing as it's a sign that Obama is losing.

"that's not including the massive outside spending by super PACs and front groups funneling up to an additional billion dollars"

so tell everyone how much of this type of support goes to you!

 

[CPL_Primeaux]

Hes just so damn arrogant then I see him askin for money. It just heated my blood for a minute.

 

[The_Shadow]

Yea, the politics has devalued the money, put people out of work, raised their heath care expenses and has the balls to ask for money!

 

[Jack]

Hasn't he raised over a billion dollars already?

I don't like Obama, but see nothing wrong with this. Every politician wants money, it seems. Why should he be the one crucified for it?

"I've got other responsibilities I'm attending to."

Apparently those do not include using grammar check

I might be slow, but I don't understand this post at all.

I might be slow, but I don't understand this post at all.

He's dragging out the old "they all do that" line. While true, it's often just a technique used to be dismissive by people who don't want to critically examine the particular point at hand. Not that this thread has any earth shattering points. The most memorable usage I can remember was when Bill Clinton perjured himself about Monica Lewinsky.

My and likely is point is that we should use the same measuing stick for each candidate. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Obama that actually mean something. Here he is doing what everyone should know he is going to do and every candidate is going to do. I'm more interested in the deltas..... of between him and Romney, there isn't much.

That would be awesome.

Send that Monopoly money and expect a visit from someone in a dark suit from a 3 letter agency.

Obama doesn't need as much money as Romney for a lot of reasons . His voting base gets free rides to the polling places courtesy of their Churches along with a sample ballot , dead people vote for him , and the state controlled media provides free advertising by keeping him in the spotlight 24/7 .

What law would he be violating ?
