I can’t believe I’m typing this. I can’t believe I received this in my inbox from Obama For America
Friend —
I’m so jealous of you that I can barely write the rest of this email.
Imagine shooting hoops with Carmelo Anthony, Patrick Ewing, Sheryl Swoopes, Kyrie Irving, and Alonzo Mourning. Oh, and you’ll get to meet President Obama and Michael Jordan over dinner, too.
Now stop dreaming and make it happen. You and a guest of your choice could join President Obama and some of the greatest basketball stars for a special night at the Obama Classic.
Pitch in $3 or whatever you can, and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win.
Hit the court with Patrick Ewing and Melo? Trade stories with the President? This is the kind of stuff your kids will tell their kids, and no one will believe it until you show them a photo.
Don’t worry if suiting up with hoops stars isn’t your thing.
I know you’ve got a kid or a friend who would love nothing more than to play with their heroes while you cheer them on from a courtside seat.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to chip in and support the President, it’s time to get off the bench.
Donate $3 to automatically get your name in the hat:
https://donate.barackobama.com/Obama-Classic
Even though I’m jealous, I hope you win.

Total desperation, Romney has took in more cash that Obama the past several months.
Romney Raises $25 Million More than Obama in July
Once again Mitt Romney’s team has managed to raise significantly more in donations than President Obama’s campaign during the last month. According to the two campaigns, Romney’s side brought in roughly $25 million more in July than Obama did for his election effort.
The Romney campaign today claimed it raised $101.3 million in July for Romney for President, Romney Victory, and the Republican National Committee. By comparison the Obama campaign tweeted that they had brought in only $75 million last month, although the Obama team did try to stress their small donor focus, pointing out that they received donations from 761,000 individuals.

Obama is losing his cool. He knows he is in deep trouble. Obama can’t depend on businesses to donate, he has trashed the majority of them. Obama stating about the “small donor” is because he wants them to forget that he rubs elbows with the wealthy.
Romney trounces Obama in fundraising for 3rd month
Money wasn’t supposed to be a worry for the president’s campaign, which smashed fundraising records in 2008. But Mitt Romney’s team has hauled in more than Obama and his allies for a third straight month, raising the once-unthinkable question.
While the race for voter support is tight, according to polls, Romney’s robust fundraising and a crush of money from Republican-leaning political action committees have forced the president’s campaign to spend heavily through the summer.

Obama campaign: ‘If we don’t step it up, we’re in trouble’

Obama is spending faster than it is coming in. He should not have started this early. I hope he loses in a land slide.
