Quantcast

I just got an email from Barak. He says; "I just got back from Iowa, where we are being outspent 2 to 1 on the air." I wonder if that is true?

We expect Mitt Romney and the Republicans to outspend us.

What I will not abide is getting outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work our volunteers are doing -- talking to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.

We are in control of that outcome, but our time to close the gap is dwindling. After three consecutive months of being significantly outraised, it couldn't be more urgent.

What are the facts?


The Demoncrats have raised some $490.6, and spent $404.9 through Jun this year. The Republicans, $437.7 & $314.5 respectively. The Dems have raised in Jun '12 $69.1 and spent $78.7. The Repubs, $92.5 & $46.2 respectively.

    Obama runs his campaign like he runs the country. Spend more than he takes in and always someone elses money.

    Too late! Moreover I don't think he has any intention of doing anything of the kind. By him the nation is composed of the oppressed & the oppressors. He sees himslef as the solution to that situation.

    Only a fool would donate money for Obama. But I don't believe him of course. He is the perpetual liar. And considering 98% of Hollywood are leftist freaks and they are loaded with cash. And they only back sickness and greed. He is surely spending hand over fist. He is simply so greedy he also wants idiot sheeple to think he needs their last dime. And pathetically they will oblige.
    And he also has all the Muslim countries and other American enemies supplying him with cash. They want to watch America go under. And Obama is the man for that.

    So you are trying to say that the New York Times (NYT) is lying?

    What do these articles say to you? To me they are trying to paint an overall picture of the "forest" by only painting one "tree". Each of these articles focus on specifics & not over all campaigns. Plus they only cover spending in May & Jun. The NYT coverage was by year, this one from Jan through Jun. Seems like you are relying on cherry picked info.

    "The 2012 presidential election is the first in which outside groups empowered by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizen's United decision will play a major role." This statement is an outright lie! Unions have been in the thick of elections from the beginning of unions.

    I'm not trying to say anything about the NYT. How could I call the NY Times anything, when nothing you posted indicated your information is from the NYT??
    I didn't give my opinion one way or another. I posted two links to get people interested in researching the information themselves, and not rely on a blog that doesn't offer any evidence to its claims.

    Obama is full of it, he's a liar, manipulator & uses smoke & mirrors to cover his azz. Maybe the Republicans know how to keep to a budget & Obama spends donations like he's Ni%%er Rich!!!!

    Republicans are not all that good at staying on budget either. But with the Tea Party (can I say) Caucus, they are going to have to watch their "Ps" & "Qs".

    I live in Iowa. The President was all over here 4 years ago. I have heard his message over and over again first-hand.

    Four years ago he had an audience. Today the facts speak for themself. Words are good but only if you can show a connection.

    His actions speak clearly to his belief system, not his words. Iowa sees it.

    It is clear for anyone who has walked this journey the past 4 years. It is not about the individual, President Obama. It is his policies and his inability to lead.

    Did you send him an email back telling him to SUCK IT UP, and learn to budget his money better? Like we have had to do? Tell him you looked through your meager budget and there wasn't a PENNY in there to send to him. That's what I would have told him.
    BTW He is lying through his teeth.

    Obama just blows money. But what the hell it's not out of his pocket. He just can't control himself when he has other peoples money to play with. Look what he's done for our Country spending money foolishly.

    I'm tired of his whining about no money. The Repubs were outspent in 2008.
    Gee, what happened to all those loyal supporters, Barak?
    Maybe you should have another cocktail and chill. Maybe you could even take a minute and learn what the word budget means. Just a thought.

    Hope before its all said and done, Obama gets 'out spent' by the Romney-Ryan ticket way more than that! Love hearing those corrupt regressives 'moan and groan' exactly like they did over Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin.... Dems have no idea how to budget their money, its gonna be interesting to watch them try.

  • No nons... DuncanO... 2012/08/18 16:16:20

    He doesn't like to 'lead', but he loves all the benefits and adoration; so he wants the
    job. Fortunately he loves to campaign.....he has never stopped.

    I hope he never has to campaign another day after Nov. 2012, because if he is
    elected, he will be flying around the country promoting himself and basking
    in the applause.

    I think Obama is just starting to feel the ground swell of Real Americans who are finally waking up to the self destructive path he has been leading our country on. It is up to every American no matter what party or religion or race or what ever to put down these affiliations that divide us and do what is right for our country. And that is to vote Obama
    Out of office. There will be plenty of time to argue the future of our country's destiny but
    right now it's very existence as we know it is in peril. Buzzy
