Obama's Email: I will be outspent
posted over 12 years ago
Thomas --
I will be the first president in modern history to be outspent in his re-election campaign, if things continue as they have so far.
I'm not just talking about the super PACs and anonymous outside groups -- I'm talking about the Romney campaign itself. Those outside groups just add even more to the underlying problem.
The Romney campaign raises more than we do, and the math isn't hard to understand: Through the primaries, we raised almost three-quarters of our money from donors giving less than $1,000, while Mitt Romney's campaign raised more than three-quarters of its money from individuals giving $1,000 or more.
And, again, that's not including the massive outside spending by super PACs and front groups funneling up to an additional billion dollars into ads trashing me, you, and everything we believe in.
We can be outspent and still win -- but we can't be outspent 10 to 1 and still win.
More than 2.2 million Americans have already chipped in for us, and I'm so grateful for it. As we face this week's fundraising deadline, will you donate $3 or more today?
Every donation you make today automatically enters you to join Michelle and me for one of the last grassroots dinners of this campaign -- today is your last chance to get your name in.
These dinners represent how we do things differently. My opponent spent this past weekend at a secretive retreat for the biggest donors to both his campaign and the super PACs that support him.
I've got other responsibilities I'm attending to.
Donate today to stand for our kind of politics:

Thank you,

I'm not going to lie, after watching this video about the 700 people donating 250,000 each, I sort of am afraid for this country's welfare. Most rich people want to keep their money, and they will be republican on issues. They have calculated the money that they will invest in Romney's campaign, and they have foreseen their profit by doing so. I don't want this country being ran by who has the most money. I simply hate that idea. This is why I appreciate some of the rare billionaires who vote democrat so much more, because they truly have compassion. Anyways, I'd like to know you guy's opinion.
