Obama is desperate for cash. He cannot get enough of it from the black base. He’s turned off the radicals in not being radical enough, plus he’s fighting a war for oil in Libya. He’ll need to raise at least $100 million to prove he’s viable for 2012. So where can he turn to?
The homosexual lobby is powerful, influential and rich. It will be interesting to watch the cross tabs for blacks. They’re adamantly against homosexuality and homosexual marriage. Will elite black pastors switch out for Obama?
Homosexual issues don’t do a thing to assuage the radical base and they’re not going to go along easily. Obama’s in a very tight spot.
Surely you jest? The black vote is pathologically locked to the Democrat party. There is absolutely nothing nefarious enough that Obama could do to cause the needle to move from it's current 90+% commitment to the Dem's...
Fund-raising for Obama’s re-election is likely to shatter all previous records:
The president is making his campaign official slightly earlier than is typical for an incumbent so he can get a jump on fund-raising in a season that’s likely to shatter all records. Obama’s team has been asking campaign bundlers to raise $350,000 each, no easy task since campaign finance laws limit gifts to $2,500 per donor. Two sources tell CNN the campaign team hopes that in total their bundlers will raise $500 million, leaving the campaign to raise another $500 million and amass a record-breaking $1 billion war chest.
Obama raised $745 million for the 2008 election.
