A week after his last money plea, Obama asks everyone for another $5
LA Times ^ | Oct 30, 2008 | Andrew Malcolm

It seems like only a week ago that The Ticket was whining about Barack Obama whining that after raising $605 million through September to buy the presidency, he was asking all of us one last time for just $10 more for some reason.

And we figured out that, October money aside, he'd have to spend $12.5 million a day just to unload September's haul by Nov. 4.

The Democrat is already outspending the Republican by three and four-to-one, which if it was the other way around would surely be unconscionable. So last night Obama dumped several million bucks on several TV networks, which they don't mind, to talk at us slickly for 27 minutes about his change that we need.

And when that was over, pingo, here comes another e-mail from Windy City HQ. You'll never guess what. He wants more money. More. Still.

Doesn’t this Marxist have enough campaign cash already? After all, didn’t he promise to take public financing??? He’s already received far, far more than he originally promised to take.

Perhaps he’s concerned about returning the millions of dollars of illegal contributions should he lose.

...any reporter worth his spit would start to look into the money pipe this clown has developed. It wouldn't surprise anyone here at FReeperville if he was getting cash from OBL himself.

Yes, what happened today with the big scandal-news the WaPo broke yesterday about Obama accepting up to $300M in donations via untraceable pre-paid credit cards?

What?

I can’t hear you?

Not even crickets?

I think this all goes to show that the man, who claimed that RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT WAS GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR BEING PRESIDENT cannot maintain a budget.

He’s outspent his competitor 3-4 to 1 and STILL is neck and neck.

Record breaking election spending and his still can’t close the deal.

You can’t fool all of the people all of the time, Barry.

This is like being hit up for "Change" by the same panhandler EVERY DAY on your commute to and from work.

I wouldn't give NObama one red cent of hard earned money, because he would just waist it on his infomercials. This man is eat up with the power he has over stupid people, who believe this gutless wonder.
