Breaking a promise, Obama rejected public campaign financing, freeing
him up to accept unlimited funds from deep-pocketed limousine leftists
like George Soros and the gem-encrusted moonbats infesting Hollyweird.
But now that the vacuous hype is beginning to peter out, the
Obamessiah is not floating in money like he once was. The Gray Lady
laments:
After months of record-breaking fund-raising, a new sense of
urgency in Senator Barack Obama's fund-raising team is palpable as the
full weight of the campaign's decision to bypass public financing for
the general election is suddenly upon it.
Pushing a fund-raiser later this month, a finance staff member
sent a sharply worded note last week to Illinois members of its
national finance committee, calling their recent efforts "extremely
anemic."
At a convention-week meeting in Denver of the campaign's top fund-
raisers, buttons with the image of a money tree were distributed to
those who had already contributed the maximum $2,300 to the general
election, a subtle reminder to those who had failed to ante up.
The signs of concern have become evident in recent weeks as early
fund-raising totals have suggested that Mr. Obama's decision to bypass
public financing may not necessarily afford him the commanding
financing advantage over Senator John McCain that many had originally
predicted.
Meanwhile, contributions to Republicans have been on the rise since
the Palin selection reenergized the party.
Obama tells us that we don't need to expand drilling if we just
inflate our tires. But it's his own campaign that's going flat.
