I'm sorry, this seems really pathetic. The guy needs more money? Gee, I can't wait to see what kind of spending he does in office. If any one has an extra $10 to throw down for the campaign and they think he really needs it why don't you consider the implications here. If he can't win on what he's got then he doesn't deserve to win. I wouldn't have the nerve to ask for another dime. Political spending gone wild indeed.

Exactly what I was thinking. Wanton spending when it ain't comin' out of your own damn pocket is a scary thing . . .

Hide your silver fillings . . . I have a feeling they'll be coming for those soon, too.

I want to know why Obama supporters and the MSM aren't up in arms over this.

Obama's fundraising has gone above and beyond an acceptable amount and I think he better rethink his 'white man's greed' statement that he has in The Audacity of Hope.

Obama's supporters probably feel that they can give him every spare dime they have because, come April, he'll be 'spreading the wealth' to them.

Shameful!

That's to cover his backend when the gov't tells him to give $200 million back to all those unnamed foreign (influence peddlers) people who donated.

I don't think it is as bad as you might think...

Would you think the same thing if McCain was ahead in the polls and asked supporters for a lil more money?

The thing you have to remember here is that he is not just campaigning for the office of president. He is trying to garner support for democratic candidates on the ballot in many states. They are trying to get a huge majority in congress this year.

Not that it shouldn't bother you that they are shooting for a fillibuster-proof majority, but that is the reason for the massive spending.

The more states he can preach his "change" message, and make the republicans all look like bush/mccain, the bigger chance the democratic candidates have...

He has to fund the "Barry Soreto Fan Club" newsletter somehow

Still, asking for more money at this point is nothing but greedy. This guy never ceases to amaze me and not in a good way.

Actually, this has a very familiar ring to it that I'm surprised no one has brought up yet.

Sound like the bailout package? We need more money!

*sigh* Not elected yet and he's already trying to screw his own party over. Amazing, the nerve of that person.

This is a pretty far cry from his promise to only run on public funds back when he was a long-shot.

I cant wait for him to buy more channels and airtime. Maybe he'll start his own network like Algore did.

It's be nice if he put this money (close to a billion now) toward his welfare schemes.

When I saw this, first I was upset. He once agreed to public financing, changed his mind, solicited donations worldwide, and now wants more money.

Then I got to thinking. I should stop delaying the inevitable and simply send him and the DNC all of my money. Not like they arent going to wind up with it sometime next Jan. anyways.

And we are gonna put him in office during the worst financial crisis in history...

And he wants more????

Yeah, sure dude, you can have my money when you pry it out of my cold dead hands

Let him go back to Goldman Sachs and grovel for more

Hmmm... Interesting. He didn't ask me for $10 in his latest email. He asked for 100. Maybe because that's what I sent last time... Whoever sent in this article is a cheapskate!

By the way, he never made a promise to run on public funds. He promised to pursue an agreement with McCain. Their lawyers met and Obama's lawyer said there was no agreement that could be reached. I'm so glad!

Sad to say, I think that is part of the plan.

He made a pledge. And he broke it. Election watchdogs are criticizing the move.
