The latest donation request from Obama for America wreaks of desperation.

Jim –

I’m the national finance director here at OFA.

I know we’ve been sending you a lot of email lately. That’s because we’re staring down a critical fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight.

You know what that means for your inbox, but let me give you a sense of what that looks like around here.

The staff and I are working around the clock, powered by too much coffee. It’s been way too long since we called our moms. And we’ve all had more pizza and bad takeout in the past few weeks than anyone should have in a year.

No one’s complaining; that’s what we signed up for. And we’re not doing this just because it’s our job to make sure the campaign has the resources it needs. We’re doing this because it’s part of what defines this movement.

From the beginning, we’ve refused to take money from D.C. lobbyists and corporate special interests. Our operation is fueled by people inspiring each other to take ownership of this campaign.

That’s why we’ve been emailing this week, and that’s why I’m obligated to remind you once more that the deadline is coming up in a matter of hours.

If you’re able to, will you chip in just $3 today?

For all of us here at HQ, and all of the staff and volunteers across the country counting on these resources, I really appreciate your help.

Maybe if they weren’t out to kill the rich they wouldn’t have to beg for so many $3 donations.

Just because I reported a nasty rumor about Dear Leader, (that he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry), at http://www.attackwatch.com , I’ve been getting spammed. I’m about to report that somebody has stolen their email list, and is spamming folks to blacken the Won.

Obama campaign money problems could be a sign from Uncle George Soros that another Communist tool belongs in the White house. It might just be an attempt to get the ONE not to run.

What is with the Obama people whining and then saying, “not that we are complaining”. Its their new mantra.

So pathetic.

Imam Obama received millions from mid east muslims in the last election. Now he thinks those donations will not come in? The mid east muslim leaders will shake down the masses to get him re-elected to further establish a caliphate and then destroy Israel and America, afterall, they both share the same goal.

Somehow this has to be the fault of Bush. Or maybe teabaggers.

Why beg? Why not just have Bernake print $3 dollar bills or “green bucks”, which will be created expressly for “green jobs”? Then, Obama and the Dems can just launder the “green bucks” through another boondoggle solar panel manufacturer right into their campaign coffers.

They need to fill out their donation lists, so that they can claim that their donors are “mostly” small. So it doesn’t look so much like they only have one or two, and they are foreigners, to boot.

I’ll have to take a better look at the rebate form the Nigerian Prince Al Sharpton sent out to his poor elderely. Was there a box on the bottom to share $3 with obama?

I more or less said almost the same thing a few weeks ago.
I said that Soros (seeing that Bummer is a loser and an incompetent with sagging numbers) has loosed the dogs of war on Obama and that’s the reason we’re now hearing so much in the media about his scandals. He’s being dumped and this is the buildup.

Glad to see I’m not the only one thinking this. I’m sure it will be the Hildebeast that he picks next, another Alinsky disciple.

Why don’ they just go out and collect $3 from the smelly wretches Soros has paid for in their fake “Occupy Whatever” protests. What convenient timing for all this. Haven’t heard any of the monosyllable droolers quoting their talking points say anything about the biggest thief of all: The U.S. Government

David Axelrod: Obama faces ‘titanic struggle’ to win reelection

President Obama faces a “titanic struggle” to win reelection, his top campaign strategist, David Axelrod, said Tuesday, given high unemployment and the poisonous partisan atmosphere in Washington.

“In 2008, we had the wind at our backs,” Axelrod said, according to MSNBC. “Now, we don’t have the wind at our back. We have the wind in our faces, because the American people have the wind in their faces.”

Be sure to send Rufus a message at: info@barackobama.com

It is rather preposterous that with all the dinners and donations, 35,000 a dinner.

Obama wants to reach that Billion mark. Why?

But then again, Politicians, one in particular named Bloomberg bought his election.

You see what a thrill that guy is! NOT

Truly, despicable. Just because you have the money doesn’t mean you can win, oooopppsss! it does.

Patty, if they haven’t figured out zero plans on keeping the a large portion of his war chest, they deserve being taken to the cleaners.

With all the talk of corruption, I wish those who aren’t would be named. I just wonder how long that list would be and if it were the truth.

I thought they were offering $3 to eat with Obama. I didn’t think it was enough, but now you say they want you pay? That tears it.

$3.00 is way below the reporting limit. Obama’s campaign did the same thing in ’08 and were thus able to collect under-limit donations from people around the world not legally elegible to donate money otherwise.
