| How much do you think it costs to go up against the right wing media machine? |
|
For those of you who are angry about how much Obama is trying to raise for 2012, take a moment to think about what he is up against:
- Several major cable news networks, all of them rightwing except for one (at certain times of day).
- Radio stations that play Beck, Hannity, and Rush.
Do you think a measly million or two dollars is going to be effective against such a powerful machine? What would you have him do?

| 1. Citizen's United will require that he raise a ton of cash. |

The whole point of that legislation was to let the big money put the GOP in charge at every level of government.

| 3. Could be. Let's face it ... BP has an incentive to donate 5 Billion ... |

to any right wing nut just to get them to reverse course on that 20 billion dollar gulf oil fund. They'd save 15 Billion.
Same for the financial companies. What's 1 billion if you can net 5 or 10 more on the other side thanks to a Tea party president?
