    You are dumb as rocks Opti/taco salad/green rock. Are you standing in line with Wixom thinking that Obama has to stand on the fundraising sidelines while MittFlip has untold hundreds of millions in PAC money he allegedly has zero control over gearing up for the biggest spending election the US has ever seen due to the Citizen's United decision.

    Damn you are a GOP hack.

    Little Walter the Schtick is so cute. Another bobbin head for Opti/taco salad/green rocks posts about the evil Obama fund raising.

    How come the GOP butt kissers get all up in arms when people who oppose their ideas give money to candidates who don't have (R) behind their name?

    Is it because only one side (yours) is supposed to be able to have money work for them?
    Little Walter the Schtick was probably one of the goofs crying about the Stryker money going to Democrats in 2008. The first GOP whine heard because rich folks are only spposed to help Republicans get elected.

    GRR- I would actually challenge any conservative on this board happy with the Republican Party. Boehner is weak, etc.

    You can have all the "Freak Show agenda that is Hollywood" campaign money, more Obama friend campaign money 'donated' in return of millions in Federal 'Funding' (aka Solyndra, etc.) and any other huge Obama contributors that suck our current tax dollars, our children's tax dollars, and our grandchildren's tax dollars to enrich themselves on unbridled and un-audited government 'investments' that will yield the usual ZERO results but ensuring Democratic contributors are happy - http://www.usdebtclock.org/

    Speaking of your campaign contribution 'investments' - if you give any - what are you expecting back from yours? You want /obviously expect something back from the (very blue and overtly and pridefully corrupt 'Crook' County) President? What is your political motive? Or is it the usual just jealous, vindictive hatred of others that spent that extra two+ hours in the office/plant so they can deliver the results they work hard to earn and get paid for?

  • This is an outrage.

    Pervis Muldoon

  • Now I've read the article and I'm even more outraged. "Obama is also the only president in the past 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state in his first year of office." The President of the United States of America visiting some of those United States? Scandalous.

    With the only intent and mission for a campaign shakedown. You can take the President out of Crook County and the insanely corrupt and $40B in debt State of Illinois, but you can never take that culture of corruption and 'Pay for Play' shakedown political approach out of the President.

    Yes, on our dime, yes - it is appalling and outrageous.

  • greenrocks "outrage" . A nice job of ignoring reality.

    We are supposed to join him in his outrage while the Romney campaign isn't naming their bundlers.

    "Every presidential nominee going back to 2000 has revealed the names of influential supporters known as "bundlers" because of the way they persuade others to give money to a candidate. Every nominee, that is, until Mitt Romney."

    We have a freakin' buffett of reasons to be outraged like greenrocks.

    Romney's Big-Dollar 'Bundlers' Stay Anonymous : NPR

    Since 2000, every presidential nominee has revealed the names of influential supporters known as who persuade others to give money to a candidate. But this year, Mitt Romney's campaign is not identifying its bundlers.

    The hypocrisy oozes out of your pores like the water over Niagara Falls. The Republican Party is owned by the Koch Brothers, Rupert Murdoch and other mega wealthies and run by Grover Norquist. All have the goal of destroying the Democratic Party and lining the pockets of their wealthy buddies. Murdoch is as sleazy as it gets and his son may go to jail.

    And if you really want to place blame for the need to do all of this fund raising, look to the conservatives on the SCOTUS for the Citizen's United ruling.

  • A political candidate is raising lots of money? I'm appalled at a candidate doing something that every politician on Earth has attempted. Anyone who thinks is big news is either a partisan hack or a moron.

    My bigger disappointment in President Obama is that he had talked about election reform, including the need to look at the influence of PACs on the process. He and his campaign are indeed doing what every other candidate is doing, they're doing it well, the Romney campaign is playing the same game, and there is a built-in advantage for the incumbent in this system. I support the idea of 100% publicly funded elections, but with his election in 2008, I had hoped we'd see a President who'd at least attempt to gain some control over an out-of-control system. That President Obama is just like any other politician is, in fact, why many on the left are disappointed in him.......

    Didn't the Citizen's United ruling take the bat out of Obama's hand in this regard?

  • The 5 previous Presidents all used public financing for the general election, so this isn't exactly a fair comparison.

    Not to mention that fundraisers (in politics the term is a misnomers) aren't really the most cost efficient ways to bank money on a political campaign.
