Democrats carrying significant campaign debt after winning a string of House and Senate races are grumbling about President-elect Barack Obama's financial reserves, saying the party's leader is sitting on a pile of cash while Democratic leaders are broke.
Obama's organization retains some $30 million after his successful presidential bid, but it's unclear how the Democratic president-in-waiting might use the money. Members of his party are doing their best to appeal for the funds without appearing greedy, ungrateful or hostile to their new leader.

How about a bailout for the Tweezers household? We’d be much cheaper to rescue than, say, GM. :)

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee carries some $19 million in debt and less than $3 million on hand. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is nearly $13 million in debt.

He should give 20 dollars of it to George Obama and give 500 to his Aunt in Boston. That way he can prove that selfishness is not a virtue after all!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone ever think there will be a full accounting of how Obama raised this much money. His fund raising when he ran for the senate was very primitive. How could he in such a short period of time have constructed a fund raising mechanism of the type we have seen? I can't believe for a minute that he got this type of money from $50 to $100 dollar contributions. I simply don't believe it. There is a major story here if there were investigative journalism still around.
There is a rat behind this whole thing.

Mulls what to do? You can bet your life they'd know what to do with it if it wasn't theirs.
What happened to "spread the wealth around"? Invest some of it with Joe the Plumber.

He could use it to fund more Muslim terrorist Putsches, like his cousin Raila Odinga’s in Kenya.
Hey, he could burn churches all over Africa with $30 million. With the women and children still inside, of course.
