The Wall Street Journal claimed he only raised $30 million in June, in a not-so-subtle attempt to take some wind out of his sails. I won't hold my breath as I wait for the apology.

As a Democrat I had really hoped his fund-raising for this month WOULD suck. Would've served him right after his, you know, gutting the Constitution for political reasons and all.

Well, let me lay my cards on the table. I am concerned about Obama. And most would agree, a measly $52 million is clear evidence of the lack of support he is enjoying from women -- still smarting from his sexist tactics to take the nomination away from Hillary.

Yes, most would agree, we are concerned!!!!

No, not a good idea in light of the Republican attack machine poised to savage Obama in the fall. I hope Obama can bury McCain and the GOP by forcing them to spend in areas they thought were safe and maybe, just maybe we'll have a chance to end this war in Iraq and put our country on a proper course again.

I hope we will see some new stories from the MSM retracting their faulty narrative of the past few weeks which claimed that Obama was having trouble raising money because of: a) opting out of public financing; b)continuing backlash from Clinton supporters; c)voting on FISA; d) commenting on Supreme Court opinions; d)left-wing discontent, and e) right-wing smear attacks.

This anti-Obama narrative was preposterous because it was not based on actual street-level reporting, but rather on scanning the blogosphere for expressions of outrage and umbrage. Maybe now journalists will try a little real reporting before they write their next wave of dubious campaign stories.

Thanks for the biggest laugh of the week:

"Maybe now journalists will try a little real reporting before they write their next wave of dubious campaign stories."

My understanding of the "lie to reports that Obama had been having trouble raising money" is that the "lie" came out of Obama's own campaign, whether deliberate, disingenuous, or otherwise.. He/they told those who received the fund-raising letter, that receipts were down, that the RNC/McCain Campaign not only had a great deal more money on hand, but that money in the bank far surpassed the Obama/DNC treasury. A "correction" took less than 24 hours. Obama still has money to burn. Keep your hands on your wallet, count the silver, act like it's your brother-in-law who needs yet another loan.
