A $52-Million MonthPosted on Jul 17, 2008
As Barack Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, said in an e-mail to Obama supporters, the campaign has developed a “very aggressive strategy” that requires aggressive fundraising efforts as well. Judging by Team Obama’s tally for the month of June, those efforts are quite literally paying off.

Here we are, on the brink of economic disaster and these two political shills are bragging about who has the most millions?
Anyone who sends either of these phonies a penny needs to have their heads examined. Most americans are trying to figure out how to keep from losing their jobs and houses and yet the campaign for corporate greed goes on.
Disgusting.

He has single handedly destroyed public financing of elections which is why he is getting more corporate contributions than McCain. Public financing was the last best hope that the public would have a say in government. He’s a corporate lap dog.

Good work for the team. Just goes to show how desperate Americans are to escape the final death throes. Folks might be too broke to pay attention, after this nearly 8 year GRAND HEIST…but that instinct for survival is strong. So yeah, we’re coming up with our last 50 cents. Better than taking a chance on the lottery.
The odds are far better.

Sure, no corporate donors will want any return on the millions given to elect either D or R sock puppet.
SOS, different year, different puppets.

He raised and spent $50 million dollars more than Clinton and beat her by a nose—pulling in an obscene $265 million in campaign investments….er, donations before May 1st.
Who here believes he hasn’t sold his political butt to every available bidder?
Combine that with him replaying the same progressive message that we’ve heard from every “new kind of politician” since 1968: that he won’t play the “game,” even as he’s playing it; and that he’ll change the rules in Washington DC even as he gets fully vested into them.
New kind of politician my fanny!
