Obama in tears is begging his fat donors for even more money: “My upcoming birthday next week could be the last one I celebrate as president …”

According to the sympathetic NY Times (“Record Spending by Obama’s Camp Shrinks Coffers”) Obama squandered whooping $400 mln. on his dirty campaign and he “has bombarded his supporters in recent weeks with increasingly urgent pleas for money”.
Obama had huge advantage over Romney in funding, since Romney spent a lot on primaries and the Republicans has collected much less than the incumbent Spender-in-Chief.
Says NY Times: “President Obama has spent more campaign cash more quickly than any incumbent in recent history”
Do we trust such a spender our economic recovery? Thre are only two choices provided – and I am going to be cursed for “not giving enough choices”. But let’s be straight: we do have only two choices in our real life.

+25I agree about Obama's reckless spending habits, but here's something you might enjoy. The White House Occupant gave a 3 minute speech during his last Birthday Party in Chicago. He needed a Teleprompter. I might also add that after not using a teleprompter for a couple of weeks during his crecent ampaigning and after numerous gaffes, he's back on Teleprompter script. It amazes me how people can support someone who is so unfocused and intellectually bereft, that he can't string a few coherant sentences together.
That aside, I have a few points to raise. One, Obama hasn't had a "huge advantage over Romney in funding, since Romney spent a lot on primaries..." There are two separate campaign funds, one for the primaries and one for the general election. At this point, Romney has outraised Obama for the general election, thanks largely to the number of billionaires that have been contributing to he and the super-PACs that support him. http://www.forbes.com/sites/c...
Two, where is the report that Obama was "in tears"?
And three, blaming any candidate for the sums of money that are spent on a Presidential campaign today is pretty disingenuous. They all have to work within a system that's been tipped ridiculously in favor of big money, thanks in no small part to the disasterous "Citizens United" Supreme Court ruling.

It is interesting to note, however, that Forbes appears to be a bit bipolar given another op/ed piece they ran titled: "Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama?" http://www.forbes.com/sites/r...
But having said that, I feel that the amount of money spend on campaigns on both sides is vulgar and outrageous. The amount of money that is pissed up the wall is disgraceful.
He thinks he can spend his way to re-election just like he thinks he can spend our Country to prosperity.
What a joke.
RUDE LEFTY TROLLERS ALL OVER THE NET?
Yesterday they even photoshopped a COP spraypainting over the CONSTITUTION while calling Conservatives bad.
He lived in mansions even when he was nobody. Now as a pay-back for damaging the US interests on multiple occasions, he is going to get huuuge “donations” to the rest of his life. Well, until once Navy Seals might visit on of his “huts”
