Obama's campaign cash haul trailing pace of '08 - Washington Times
By some measures, Mr. Obamas re-election drive, which at one point was projected as perhaps the first $1 billion campaign in U.S. history, has collected tens of millions of dollars less than President Bushs campaign had at the same point in 2004, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) figures.
Democrats say the numbers are not exact apples-to-apples comparisons, with total numbers complicated by the rise of independent super PACs and funds raised for the party organizations.
But the less-than-imposing numbers have prompted a flurry of fundraising emails to supporters to donate ahead of the March 31 first-quarter deadline, including separate appeals from Mr. Obama and first lady
Complicating the donations is that obama is spending money like it was air.
