Obama spends record amount of time fundraising
Politico44 ^ | 6/6/12 | DONOVAN SLACK
No, it’s not your imagination: President Barack Obama is spending a whole lot of time fundraising, perhaps more than any incumbent president in history.
Including this week’s trip to California, he will have spent eight of 24 weekdays during the past month – that’s a third of them - on the road and collecting cash.
His event Thursday morning will mark his 153rd fundraiser since announcing his reelection bid last year. That’s nearly double the number that his predecessor George W. Bush had attended by this point in his reelection campaign, according to CBS’s Mark Knoller, who put 43’s early June number at 79.
Neither White House nor campaign officials responded to messages seeking comment.

Nothing to spin. The dude is out of touch and getting more and more like Dubya every day. Of course, the dude running against him blows just as hard. Gotta love what this country has become.SuperHornet wrote:Cue the poli trolls to spin this in ...3...2...1...
That's the problem. People can cry about Obama all they want, he is just like Dubya (except Dubya cleared brush, Obama fundraises) the next President will be more of the same. No reason to think that Romney will be more "in touch" than Obama is, dude was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.93henfan wrote:Nothing to spin.

It's easy, and fashionable, to take smug potshots at both parties. So tell me, 86, what would you do to improve the political process in America?BlueHen86 wrote:That's the problem.

Instead of a donkey and an elephant, I think both parties should change their logo to a lemming.

If we actually had "two" parties that would be a start in the right direction.Ivytalk wrote:You want more? I give you Italy. Wonderful.kalm wrote:

So you don't think there's a dime's worth of difference between the Dems and the GOP? As a matter of ideology, you're wrong. If you posit that the " great middle" is disenfranchised, you may have a better point.kalm wrote:If we actually had "two" parties that would be a start in the right direction.Ivytalk wrote: You want more?

2) the "great middle" IS disenfranchised. I am now officially a disciple of the 86hens, UNI88's, Clucks, Ursus's and Gannonfans of the world. There was a time where I might have fallen into the warm embrace of traditional conkunism as I grew older. Unfortunately, there are too few traditional conks left.
And I am a traditional small government Conk."Cynic" is the best compliment you can pay me.Ivytalk wrote:Cynic.kalm wrote:

Cynicism (Greek: κυνισμός), in its original form, refers to the beliefs of an ancient school of Greek philosophers known as the Cynics (Greek: Κυνικοί, Latin: Cynici). Their philosophy was that the purpose of life was to live a life of Virtue in agreement with Nature. This meant rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, sex, and fame, and by living a simple life free from all possessions. As reasoning creatures, people could gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which was natural for humans. They believed that the world belonged equally to everyone, and that suffering was caused by false judgments of what was valuable and by the worthless customs and conventions which surrounded society. Many of these thoughts were later absorbed into Stoicism.
