I Just Knew That Obama Would End Up Stiffing Harry and Nancy

Poor Harry Reid. Poor Nancy Pelosi. They had those BIG dollar signs in their eyes whenever they gazed on their big new cash cow Barack Obama. They imagined the millions and millions he’d rake in, not just for his own race, but to finance all of their Senate and House races. That money they had their eyes on was one big reason they spurned Hillary Clinton for “The One.”
But I always had a hunch that “The One” wouldn’t bother to come through, and probably couldn’t.
Look, I’m leaving on my private jet this minute, my pockets stuffed with $30K cash, so I can get to Barbra’s pad for the songs and the schmoozing. I’ll say hi to Matt and Pamela for you! But I just had to share this article with you quickly:
Cash-poor Obama says no to Reid
Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal appeal to Barack Obama: Help me grow the Democrats’ Senate majority by sharing some of the $77 million you’ve got in the bank.
Obama’s campaign said no.
Although Democratic insiders say a better deal could still come, the Obama campaign so far has agreed only to let Senate Democrats use Obama’s name — as well as those of his wife and running mate — in mail and online fundraising pitches. The campaign has planned no joint fundraising events with House or Senate Democrats, and insiders say none is likely to be held before Election Day.
In rejecting a direct request from his Senate leader, Obama has put a fine point on the financial pressures he’s feeling as the presidential race turns toward the fall.
Look, my assistant has George (Clooney) on hold, so I gotta go. He’d better be at Babs’ tonight, or else.
But do read all of “Cash-poor Obama says no to Reid.”
Harry’s gettin’ the full Obama treatment — a lot of lovin’ promises followed by a big deadly push right under the bus. I sure hope the wheels on that bus are jacked up high enough for all the bodies under it.
Maybe the Congressional Dems need to rent a bulldozer and a crane! Adds Politico:
Democrats on Capitol Hill have grumbled for months that it has been hard to orchestrate campaign events and appearances with the Obama campaign. One Democratic strategist said the campaign frequently turns down requests to have Obama appear with a Democratic incumbent or challenger, and that the events that do happen come only after some “very heavy lifting.”
