Obama’s Fundraising — ‘Extremely Anemic’ September 8th, 2008 8:33 pm

                                                                       

Having chosen to forego public financing for all the wrong reasons, reports of the Obama campaign are that they are extremely disappointed and increasingly nervous over their fundraising levels. An unidentified finance staff member sent a sharply worded note last week to Illinois members of the Obama national finance committee, calling their recent efforts “extremely anemic.” I am guessing spending $6 million on an elaborate Greek temple wasn’t such a bright idea after all.
