Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"
- Liberal opinion writer Helen Thomas, describing the Obama admin's penchant for heavily scripting public appearances & press conferences - 7/1/09
Payin’ for change before the election, and having to pay for it immediately after
Just when you thought you’d heard it all:
The Ticket reported, jokingly, the other day about the latest Barack Obama fundraising appeal.
He’s the fellow who raised way more than $605 million and, would you believe it, won the presidential election campaign to bring real change to Washington.
As an important part of changing the money culture of Washington he was asking for another $30 donation from everyone on the e-mail list.
It seems that in addition to his 6/10ths of a billion dollars to move into the White House, the Democratic National Committee spent way more than the $100 million in cash it had raised.
In fact, it took out “substantial loans.”
Well, it turns out now, the DNC’s debts are far worse than originally imagined. Today, Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe sent another urgent e-mail to supporters seeking at least another $30.
Here’s what he said:
“We’ll get to work transforming this country. But first, we need to take care of the DNC.”
Did we hear that right? Now that Obama’s the president-elect, the top priority is the Democratic National Committee?
To drive home the point elsewhere in the same e-mail Plouffe adds: “Before we do anything else, we need to pay for this winning strategy.”
I’ve gotten these emails in my inbox this week as well. Each time I’ve read them, I’ve shaken my head in disgust. Not that we needed any proof that the Democrat party doesn’t manage its money well, but this is sort of like the icing on the cake.
So in order to get the “change” they were promised before the election, supporters are being told that before Obama can officially start that “change” process that the DNC needs to be bailed out by those same supporters.
Frankly, if his supporters are willing to bail out the DNC, I say let them pay for Obama’s socialistic agenda, too – and leave those of us who didn’t support him the heck out of it.

Why can’t Sen. Obama spread his campaign wealth to pay the DNC…that is ludicrious and I can’t even believe they would have the nerve to ask their supporters to bail out the DNC, it does not bode well for the rest of us…
Hope and change don’t come cheap, don’tcha’know.
Give and give again, Give ’till it hurts.
Even those of us who didn’t give will eventually end up giving.
And man, is is gonna hurt.
It cost a trillion dollars to buy the presidency?
My MY!
At least they didn’t steal it.
Can’t argue with idiots. I hope they send him 50.
Change–
That’s all you’ll have left. Small change.
Because that’s his money, Melodye. He meant spreading your wealth around, not his.
Whenever you hear a leftist talk about how we need to give more to those less fortunate (or to the DNC), you know he means give your money, not his. It’s why liberals donate much less to charities than conservatives.
Larry – they didn’t steal the election, but maybe filched a couple of states through their ACORN activities.
Now come on GWR. I firmly believe that Barack sent the DNC his 30.00 donation!!!
Isn’t J. F’ing Kerry still sitting on a boatload of cash from his failed bid for the presidency?? Last I heard it was like 20 Mil. – Lorica
I cannot believe the DNC has the nerve (the audacity of hope for your change, you might say) to beg for more money.
And if the morons of the party give them money, it’s officially the party of stupidity.
And, according to him, one of his qualifications is that he ran a campaign.
Not very well, eh?
I am still in shock that they raised so much and spent so much! Talking about helping our economy and they are spending 600 million on a campaign. Blows my mind. And now to learn that the liberal illuminati are asking for more money! WHAT? What is going to happen to our country?
This is outrageous! The DNC is crying poverty while Obama’s campaign staffers get an extra month of pay, a Blackberry, and their campaign-issued computers.
