Coming Soon to an Administration Near You

Well : Having hauled in a record $208,333 every hour of every day last month — $150 million in all — plus a few more unreported millions so far this month, Barack Obama is worried that he might come up short in the political money war with the John McCain-Sarah Palin ticket. Just to relieve himself of that $150 million before the polls open, Obama will have to spend $12.5 million a day. But he needs some more. Do you get the feeling this is a preview of his real tax policy? Tagged as: ...

NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
... Day, do you think there'd be a lot of media carping and whining about rich Republicans buying the White House? Probably 24 hours a day, seven days a week until the final vote had been counted, correct?

This obvious hypocrisy struck the Los Angeles Times' Andrew Malcolm Thursday (emphasis added): Having now ...

Obama’s Fundraising Fraud
Pajamas Media —
... the biggest underground finance operation since Nixon deployed the plumbers as his key operatives in 1974. [image] John McCain’s got a problem. Democratic nominee Barack Obama has raised more than $600 million in his presidential campaign so far. In September alone, Obama raised $150 million, and his organization’s fundraising machine continues to pump out pleas for cash, including an appeal for small $10 contributions sent before the “deadline,” so backers won’t miss out on a nifty “ Obama-Biden Car Magnet !” All of this might sound impressive — a sign that citizen ...
