TEAM OBAMA BEGINS PLANNING $1 BILLION REELECTION CAMPAIGN
http://www.politico.com/playbook/ ^ | 1/14/2011 | Mike Allen

Good Friday morning. TOP TALKER – DNC BRAINSTORMS 2012 WITH BUNDLERS -- Jeanne Cummings: “Bracing for a half-billion-dollar onslaught of outside GOP cash in 2012, President Obama’s advisers are quietly working to bring back together the major donor base that produced a record-breaking fundraising haul in his first run for president. In the past few months, Democratic National Committee aides have contacted several of Obama’s earliest financial backers to brainstorm about when and where to host the first money-raising events. Several big donors said they expect the Obama 2012 operation to open its doors this spring, with a string of fundraisers to generate the early cash needed to rebuild the president’s high-tech campaign operation. … ‘They are getting organized in Chicago to start a massive two-year campaign, which I believe will be successful, but has extraordinarily large challenges in some of the major states,’ said Philadelphia philanthropist Peter Buttenweiser, who hosted one of the first Obama presidential fundraisers in 2007 and is in talks to organize an early one for the re-election. …

“Obama was scheduled to go to New York this week to meet with about 25 large bundlers and supporters … but that event was canceled after the Tucson shootings … The one piece of Obama’s fundraising apparatus that has been managed closely since his inauguration is his online, small donor base. … But a billion dollar presidential re-election bid is unlikely to be launched or sustained for long exclusively with small donors. Even in 2008, Obama’s eye-popping online giving was matched with larger donations generated by roughly 700 big and small bundlers. Rebuilding that half of his financial operation is critical to his prospects and talk of it dates back to before the midterms when the president hosted a string of late summer DNC fundraisers.

It started the other day — his stump speech was delivered while standing on six coffins.

All money needs to be accounted for and where it came from. Republicans need to put this in place before the elections. Too may questions came up about this during the last election.

He only stood on three; they used the other three for his teleprompter crutch.

No, he will go back to his middle eastern bundlers.

He will also cheat a whole lot.

They could have reduced this piece to two lines.

He had $700 million - a lot of Saudi money in 2008 and bought ALL the media. Now he owns ALL of TV as the Saudis have major investments. Fox is falling in line as well.

The POS may win. All of TV will be demonizing Palin 24x7 for the next 2 years.

Based on past experience and after handling and administration fees are deducted...about 40.

As a memorial service, the U of A event was an obscenity... as a re-election campaign kickoff, it was great.

Yep. If you run for president, you should be subject to an audit.

2 things republican Govs and state senates,

1 : Pass a law requiring full documentation, original documents required.

2 : Repubulicans pass new campaign finance laws requiring all donations be verefied not voluntary, passports, home adresses, everything. Make all donations come via the IRS. That will make Obama crap.
