Friend --

I just got back from Iowa, where we are being outspent 2 to 1 on the air. Voters there mentioned it to me more than once.

We expect Mitt Romney and the Republicans to outspend us.

What I will not abide is getting outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work our volunteers are doing -- talking to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.

We are in control of that outcome, but our time to close the gap is dwindling. After three consecutive months of being significantly outraised, it couldn't be more urgent.

Will you make a donation of $5 or more?

https://donate.barackobama.com/Outspent-in-Iowa

If we win this election, it will be because of what you did.

I don't get to tell you enough how grateful I am.

Thank you,

Barack

P.S. -- In a few weeks, I'll accept our party's nomination for president onstage in Charlotte, North Carolina. I wouldn't be there without you. Any donation you make today automatically enters you and a guest for a chance to join me and Michelle as VIP guests of the convention. Hope to see you there.

LOL.    I have not one bit sympathy for these jilted donors who feel like used diapers by Obama. 

Any moron paying 40k for a dinner and can't even get a picture or handshake with this ghetto gutter creep gets nothing but laughs by me.

Yet, Obama had no problem when he reneged on the campaign finance law in 2008 and spent McCain into the ground.

That was the left's real beef with Citizens United, from the start. It allowed the right to match the left's built-in Super PACs (unions, Hollywood, etc).

Yup, the left already has a funding machine and a ground game in the form of unions. Unions forcefully extract (or should I say STEAL) money from workers, and then turn around and use that to fund operations meant to support far-left candidates.

But now that states are reforming their public-sector unions and membership is PLUNGING as a result, the money ain't there.

Funny how liberals are short on cash from their "supporters", once membership and dues ain't mandatory anymore.

Obama's problem is that he blew his wad way too early and now w the horrible economy that has nevber recovered - the small donations are not rolling in at all.

Many of his donors are tapped out now.

He's fallen prostrate for Hollywood; he's groveled before the gays.
Where, oh where, is Obama going to get the loot now?

The poor souls who donated 25, 50, 75 dollars in 2008 who fell for his lies are all jobless, broke, homeless, strung out, and in despair now.
