Obama's brand involves a new kind of politics, something that doesn't involve political expediency -- which is why it was a blunder to flip flop on public campaign finance for the general election.

Read the memo. Nobody was "chided" and that claim is a vast overstatement. If volunteers say they'll do something and then don't follow through, you find other volunteers to do the job. It's that simple. If this was medical relief and doctors didn't show up to give treatment, guess what, other doctors would pick up the slack. THAT IS ALL THAT THIS MEMO IS. I've heard much harsher language in an office building than this memo states. That memo is/was not news, but IS nothing more than a waste of internet server storage space and bandwidth.
Obama is a bone head when it comes to money - especially other people"s money.
A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden in Englewood that Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a onetime campaign volunteer is now under investigation by the Illinois attorney general amid new questions. (suntimes, 2008)
In other words Obama spent $100K of Chicago tax dollars on a badly built gazebo. Now that"s a bone head you can count on.
I'd prefer that over the bonehead you're probably backing, who along with his campaign staff have a large responsibility in the "crisis" we are now facing.
You are so wrong! The democrats caused this mess and they are responsible for it.
Bill Clinton on Thursday told ABC's Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been "resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac"

THIS IS OUR CAMPAIGN - He will be OUR PRESIDENT. If the fat cats won't pony up than we will. I have started a personal goal of raising $5000 for the campaign by October 1st - and time is running out. PLEASE HELP

We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late.
