Ok, so this headline means Obama is running out of money?
I thought it was saying hell reach his goals?
No, not all all.
Pretend Obama wants to spend 200 million in September. He had 100 million in foreign donations on Sept 1, and got 20 million in donations from US liberals between Sept 1 and Sept 8. (In June and July, assume he was receiving 4 million dollars a day - He thinks he is going to keep getting that much.)
So he needs 80 million more between Sept 8 and Sept 28, and has 20 days to get it. 4 million a day in “gifts.”
If he is actually only receiving 1 million a day in bribes, he will only receive 20 million more dollars, and has to “cut spending” radically from his goals.
So: Smaller hotel rooms, cram 4 or 8 staffers to a room instead of one or two. Smaller planes. Less printing. Less mailing. Fewer plane flights. Less polling. Less payments to people who have already worked for him. No donations to lower level campaigns who need money. Etc.
He had 100 million in foreign donations on Sept 1
Foreign donations from where?
