News broker earlier today that the Romney-Ryan campaign has hauled in more than $10 million since Rep. Paul Ryan was added to the ticket last Saturday. A heavy majority — 68% — of that came from new donors. While Ryan has had a good first week on the campaign trail, his counterpart, Vice President Joe Biden, has had such a terrible week that he has been taken off the campaign trail and given an evident time-out for the weekend.
Shortly before noon central time today, the Obama campaign fired off the following fundraising email. Addressed from the president himself, the email notes that his campaign finds itself being badly outspent on ads in Iowa.
Subject: This is critical:
From: Barack Obama info@barackobama.com
Friend –
I just got back from Iowa, where we are being outspent 2 to 1 on the air. Voters there mentioned it to me more than once.
We expect Mitt Romney and the Republicans to outspend us.
What I will not abide is getting outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work our volunteers are doing — talking to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.
We are in control of that outcome, but our time to close the gap is dwindling. After three consecutive months of being significantly outraised, it couldn’t be more urgent.
Will you make a donation of $5 or more?

If we win this election, it will be because of what you did.
I don’t get to tell you enough how grateful I am.
Thank you,
Barack
“What I will not abide…” The email scolds his supporters for not keeping up with the other side’s fundraising.
“What I will not abide…”
You know, I bet Vladimir Putin speaks in the same sort of tone.
Irony: Democrats trying to raise money from a base that is mainly focused on collecting government cheese.
Haha. Quite true!
Who hid my cheese?!
….is shovel-ready. You’re not getting it. Ha, ha….
Math suck, donut, Barry?
And because of the stupid laws introduced by the racist Republicans, the cost of taking dead voters to the polls will be skyrocketing !
“Please sign over your government welfare checks to my campaign in order to insure that you will continue to get your government welfare checks.”
Look, you told everyone and his kid brother that you were going to raise $1 billion, and now you are begging for $5 because you were outspent in the mega battleground state of Iowa.
Smartest guy in the room? You are making Biden look like an intellectual giant.
Yo Democrats: Next thing you know, he’ll be asking for your goddammed EBT cards.
“Vee haf vays of making you geev money!!!!!”
Ha ha ha ha hah!
“We are in control of that outcome, but our time to close the gap is dwindling. After three consecutive months of being significantly outraised, it couldn’t be more urgent.”
If you are in control of the outcome, why does time, much less dwindling time, have anything to do with it?
And if you have “outcome control” why is it even significant that it has been going on for three months, not to mention “urgent”.
I suggest Obama supporters not flush any more money down this irrational money hole.
Heh, I’ve got that in my inbox, just haven’t opened it yet. Sounds like he is upping his game, until now it’s been asking for $2 or $3.
The Dude abides
Best Sam Elliot quote ever!
That Guy Abides Too.
Yeah, well, that’s just like, you’re opinion, man
Obama thinks he has control over the outcome because he did in 2008 with all of the voter fraud that took place. Thank God that republicans were voted into governorships in 2010 to put in place voter id laws. There is no doubt that thousands and thousands of felons, dead people, vacant lots, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck voted for him. I hope Pennsylvania gets to keep their voter id law they put in place. Now maybe they will not 100% and in 2000 115% of registered voters in Philidelphia vote in the democrat precincts. There is no possible way a county can have 100% of the registered voters vote. Some might be sick, or in the hospital, or at work and couldn’t take off, or too lazy, or disinterested. These people have been stuffing ballot boxes long enough and it is high time that We The People say we will not tolerate vote fraud. Hurray I thin I will give to Romney again.
I think we should write them back and say ‘but Barry, we gave you all our money for Wall St., Solyndra, etc…the check has already been cashed. Sorry ’bout your luck.!
– who helped raise a billion for you in 2008. Also:
“Obama to Romney: Release 5 years of tax returns, and we’ll shut up” — since you already have them but for some reason for the first time are reluctant to leak, try releasing your own medical records and academic transcripts first just to show your good faith to Romney. In a show of sincerity, Romney won’t question your birth certificate, baptismal record and the like.
“Latest Obama Fundraising Email Carries Angry, Panicked Tone”
Isn’t “angry” one of those subliminal racist words that are so trendy these days?
Maybe pjmedia should search for a different adjective.
