Obama's Katrina?

Not that you will see anyone in the legacy media making the comparison.

Gingrich: Obama Cancels Campaign Trips Due to Hurricane, Didn't Cancel Them Over Benghazi

Seems Poetic

Obama Campaign Borrows $15 million from Bank of America.

Priorities

Obama focuses on campaigning, fundraising; Official presidential duties are few and far between.

Smart Diplomacy

Obama had no time to meet with Netanyahu (apparently he needed a siesta), but Romney will be speaking with him today.

"So, on a highly symbolic date, mobs storm American diplomatic facilities and drag the corpse of a U.S. ambassador through the streets."

"Then the president flies to Vegas for a fundraiser. No, no, a novelist would say; that's too pat, too neat in its symbolic contrast."

Mitt Romney Hates Naked People!

The Money Game

Team Obama raised $75 million in July, while Team Romney raised $101.3 million.

Remember when Obama was predicting he would run the first billion dollar campaign?  Feels like a long time ago.

Obama Runs Campaign Like He Runs the Country

Obama campaign spends more in June than it takes in.

The Vetting: Obama Was For Private Equity Before He Was Against It

Breitbart.com:  "President Barack Obama has attacked Gov. Mitt Romney's record in the private equity industry as CEO of Bain Capital. But ten years ago, as he struggled to raise funds for his long-shot U.S. Senate campaign, then-State Senator Obama decided to embrace the private equity industry and its wealthy Chicago political donors. At one point, Obama even sponsored a resolution in the Illinois Senate calling calling private equity firms like Bain 'the best opportunity for long-term economic vitality' and for 'the creation of jobs.'"

Does this mean we can soon expect another about face?

Disaster Relief

On the one hand, Romney sends buses, supplies, and staff.

On the other, Obama poses for pictures.

And sells tank tops.

Same goes for birthdays and anniversaries.

It may be unbelievable, but it's real.

Obama Launches Campaign in Half Empty Arena

Via Breitbart.com:  "It's a campaign faux pas to hold an event in a room that isn't full; to promise the media a more-than-capacity crowd then fall this far short of that promise is utter incompetence. In 2008, Obama ran a near-flawless campaign, buoyed by enthusiasm and effective organizing. But it's not 2008 any more, and on day one of the 2012 campaign, Team Obama has already made an embarrassing blunder."

Obama Has Held More Re-Election Fundraisers Than Last Five Presidents Combined

But, in his defense, he makes a far better campaigner than President.  And even then, he is well off his own 2008 pace for actual dollars raised.
