Team Obama demands top DNC Fund-Raiser to raise $60 Million by JulyScotty Starnes | June 1, 2011 at 7:16 PM | Tags: 2012 presidential election, Michelle Obama, Obama fundraiser, President Obama | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-5na |
Fundraising on the taxpayer's dime. This is the only accomplishment (besides bankrupting America) Obama can truly claim.
WASHINGTON--President Obama's top fund-raisers, meeting in Chicago on Wednesday were asked by Obama campaign manager Jim Messina to raise $60 million for the Obama 2012 re-elect and the Democratic Party by the end of June, I've been told.
The $60 million June 30 second quarter goal--part of a power point presentation to members of the Obama 2012/Democratic National Committee National Finance Committee--is equal to the amount raised during the comparable time by the 2004 Bush/Cheney campaign and the Republican National Committee.
Whatever the comparison, members of the NFC--Obama's major bundlers--people who use their extensive personal networks to convince others to make campaign donations--were huddling at the Hyatt Regency on Wacker Dr. to map strategy to raise what Messina has said was "north of $750 million" for the 2012 re-election campaign.
It takes a lot of money to lie.
Obama and First Lady Michelle, I've learned, will hit the fund-raising trail again this month in a quest to raise big money early on for the Obama 2012 re-elect and the DNC.
Nothing unusual. Obama never stopped campaigning.
Mrs. Obama headlines fundraisers in California--Pasadena and the Bay Area on June 13.
Obama has fund-raisers June 13 in Miami; June 20 in Washington aimed at Jewish donors, June 23 in New York City for gay and lesbian contributors and June 30 in Philadelphia.
All at the expense of the U.S. taxpayers. So much for that laser like focus on (insert your favorite Obama promise here).
