"The lie needs to be put to the very idea that President Obama might be outspent during the 2012 election. Nobody knows how much the candidates and campaign will raise in the weeks ahead, but, so far, the numbers are pretty clear. To date, the Democratic National Committee, the Obama campaign and Obama super PACs have raised $471,400,000. This does not include at least $400 million that the labor unions have pledged to spend on Obamas behalf. The Romney campaign, Republican National Committee and Romney super PACs have raised $264,223,126 and much of that was spent during the Republican primary contest.
Anyway, there is a myth in American politics today that Obama will be outspent by Mitt Romney. Maybe that myth exists because Democrats, including Carter Eskew and President Obama, say it is so. It must be a fundraising tactic to scare contributors into giving, because the numbers suggest something completely different.
If Im wrong about these numbers, I wish that Carter, President Obama or other readers would let me know. Lets not quibble over groups like the NRA or the Sierra Club. But any honest analysis of the funding at the top of the ticket confirms that Obama has a huge advantage. As more reliable information is confirmed, I will pass it along. In the meantime I think that the Obama campaigns complaints about being outspent by Romney should be greeted with skepticism.
As for the campaigns themselves, Obama began with a $100 million cash advantage, and still has nearly $100 million more in cash on hand. Romney has been doing much better than Obama at fundraising lately, but he had to spend a great deal on the primary campaign, while Obama faced no serious primary opposition. Since the primary season concluded and Romney officially became the nominee, the Obama campaign has outspent Romney 3-to-1, and the Obama ads have been over 75 percent negative."
You buy into that “lie” about Obama having a lot more money. LOL!
Plus Romney is a rich guy.
You are right too .
The Obama media literally publishes every Axelrod press release as ordered like this fund raising lies .
We live in scary times when the US media is owned and operated by Soros operatives and America hating sociopaths .
See, I was right, getting info from the “Washington COMPOST”.
Obama's supposed financial disadvantage in this campaign season is an insidious lie, a put on, a fairytale. It must be dismantled, and would be, in an unbiased media.
Remember, this is the "billion dollar" Obama. Expect his side to have a 2 or 3 to 1 financial advantage.
Factually, Romney and the Republicans haven't much chance of matching Obama dollar-for-dollar and need very dime, nickel and penny that can be pulled together.
