Obama in a ToughSpot $o$

[Jackson]

It's even hard for Obama to run on promises this time. He knows better there. The best he can come up with is to attack his opponent with lies but his opponent will attack his record with facts.

Donors are not stepping up to the plate for Obama as they once did.

Obama Trails Romney Again in Battle for Campaign Cash

[Jackson]

In a worrisome development for the Obama campaign, Mr. Romney, who until now has been heavily dependent on donors giving the maximum federal contribution, also showed success in June drawing small donors, a traditional strength of the Obama campaign.

Reflecting the intensifying general election matchup with Mr. Obama and conservative anger over the recent Supreme Court decision upholding the president’s signature health care law, Mr. Romney raised about a third of his total in checks of under $250, officials said on Monday. Mr. Romney and the R.N.C. now have about $160 million in cash.

“This month’s fund-raising is a statement from voters that they want a change of direction in Washington,” Spencer Zwick, Mr. Romney’s finance chief, said in a statement.

Mr. Romney’s surge puts him on track to raise the $800 million his campaign and the Republican National Committee hope to bring in by Election Day, leaving the real possibility that Mr. Obama could be outspent despite the advantages of incumbency.

And with political reality reasserting itself on Mr. Obama, he is being forced to rely more heavily on traditional Democratic constituencies, like Hollywood, labor unions and gay donors, as well as his own millions of small donors.

Barry has a record now and it ain't pretty. Hope and Change, Transparency and all the other BS he campaigned on ain't gonna cut it this time round.

He's deflecting like a bastard because he knows his record sucks.

All we're gonna get from Barry till Nov is class warfare, Bain and any other kitchen sink he can hurl to change the subject.

No matter what he tries its still gonnna be about the economy, jobs and the clusterfuck ACA that we are now saddled with.

That bad?? I think he will lose but only by a small margin. Never underestimate the voters.

You mean the economy that Republican values have ruined and Obama's stimulus is beginning to turn around and the Affordable Care Act that Republicans oppose because they really don't want all americans to have access to affordable health care?

You're right. This IS what it's going to be about.....

But not the way you're thinking!

obama sees his pending loss as a failure of democracy itself! The only way to prove we still believe in democracy is to elect him!

This makes no sense whatsoever. He understands the concept of the grass roots. He just doesn't see that it turned against him.

Game the system????? When Pelosi wrote bills in her office and wouldn't let Republicans enter any input on legislation and Reid won't even allow a budget be brought to the floor. Oh WOW. Just WOW! Talk about gaming the system! You stepped into that one my friend.

Just because they believe it doesn't mean it isn't a lie! They are stupid that way. Jaysus.

The problem for Willard is that he has to run on the Republican record. The record of the "I don't care" health plan, protecting tax cuts for billionaires, trashing our credit rating

On top of that, Willard gets to run on his charming personality

It would be Barack Obama that presided over the first EVER downgrade of our nation's credit rating. Spin it as you may, ratings agencies took a look at Obama's plans and decided that downgrading our credit rating was the option. I'm willing to bet that Mitt Romney has an absolutely stellar credit rating.

Yes, and a lot of these "donations" may come back to bite Mitten in the ass later. He has always used questionable means for fund raising

Probably not. You see Romney has been through multiple bankrupcies through his association with Bain Capital.

Romney cited a statement from Bain saying that of the 350 companies the firm invested in, “Eighty percent of them grew, which is good news, and 5% went bankrupt. You can imagine — the only ones you'll hear about from the other side are the 5%,” the presumed Republican nominee said. “You won't hear about the 80% where jobs were created.”

If any other "average" American has to file bankrupcy it usually destroys their credit.

I wonder if Mitt is somehow an exception to this rule?

And if so why....and how?
