The June 2012 campaign finance reports reveal an unsurprising pattern:
Obama spent more than he took in (received $46 million, spent $58 million), while Romney spent less (received $33 million, spent $27.5 million).
July totals are due at the Federal Elections Commission by Aug. 15.
Meanwhile, Obama and his team are sending out more frequent and increasingly desperate-sounding pleas for money, howling that Romney has an unfair financial advantage.
The advantage may or may not be real when you figure in PAC and political party spending. Regardless, I think it’s a bit rich of the Obama machine to complain!
In 2008, Obama reneged on his promise to stay within the public campaign financing limits that McCain agreed to, has been fund-raising the entire time Obama’s been in the White House and did not have to spend anything on a 50 State primary fight.
A recent fund-raising email from VP Biden had the subject line: “Romney defeats Obama?” The text warned that such a headline might be possible on the day after the election if supporters don’t dig deep into their pockets now.
“Don’t let anyone convince you that this is a sure thing — our opponents have almost unlimited resources at their disposal, and we already know they’ll outspend us by a good amount,” Mr. Biden warned. “What we do now decides the headlines on November 7th.”
Romney’s campaign manager forwarded Mr. Biden’s e-mail to Romney’s list of supporters and suggested the recipient donate “to make sure the headlines read correctly in 100 days.” LOL

How can barry be spending so much while flying around for free on our plane? Somebody needs to be audited!

Since PP might be sleeping in, and no one would blame him, thought I would add a little tidbit for grudge today:
Two of our favorite “fat cats”, Moore and Sarandon, are lamenting their support for Obama
http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/08/02/michael-moore-i-wouldnt-say-i-support-obama/
Moore says he will still vote for barry
“Obama has a conscience. He knows the difference between right and wrong,” Moore said. “And I’m hoping in a second term” … he’ll be the Obama that we want him to be.”
(yeah, Obama knows wrong from right. Too bad he only believes in the wrong part)
So MM is still “hoping” for the change.
(place Pistol Peteism here, because I sure can’t come up with quips this early like he does)

Einstein said the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

“I wouldn’t say I support him. I would say I will vote for him.” That’s pretty much where a lot of us were with McCain in 2008.

Remember that the real reason McLame lost was because too registered republicans stayed home. Let’s hope the same thing happens to obummer this time.
