    Why are many Obama supporters no longer contributing to his reelection campaign?

    Could it be Obama has overpromised and now the bloom is off the rose?

    "I face this challenge with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals."

    From The New York Times.

    There is plenty to be pissed about Obama. First he gave the BushCo crims a free pass for everything. Then stupidly played nice with cons. Just for starters.

    But he's rolling in the $$$ dispite it being 13 months before the election, plenty of time, and many are waiting to see what he does early in this time frame. If he starts kicking con faces then you'll see more $ than even god has. But without it, your side still loses because of uber-stupidity. Think Christie is your savior? :-D

    Sorry, conBgone.

    You are omce again very mistaken!

    Do you realize our national debt is now so large, the interest alone we pay to people and foreign countries who own our debt amounts to $412.5 billion a year.

    Just imagine all the government stimulus programs we could fund for $412.5 billion a year. Thanks to the Democrats, this is nothing more than money down a rat hole that will never benefit the U.S. taxpayers!

    The taxpayers are starting to catch on to Obama's incompetence as our chief executive officer!

    It's because Obama has been a pansy with the evil republicans caving in to their stupidity at every turn. If he starts fighting the Republicans instead of kissing their asses he will get support.

    You are very mistaken, CarlB.

    Barack Obama will continue to be a pansy for the enlightened republicans and will once again cave to their proven solutions at every turn. He simply lacks the backbone, the determination and the "cojones" to do anything else.

    It seems as if Obama cannot please anyone or any group these days.

    Many of his ardent supporters from the last election have come to the basic conclusion he is not proficient and he is not deserving of the high office he now commands.

    "Does he lack leadership abilities or competence? Is he arrogant and out of touch with America? Is he a pleaser first and foremost, rather than someone who cares about getting the job done? Does he not understand how the economy works? “‘Yes, we can!’ has devolved into ‘Hey, we might,’” Maureen Dowd wrote in The New York Times."

    'Said one once ardent Obama supporter: “I’m fed up with the president’s inability to stick up for the lofty goals he once articulated", when he was running for office".

    "Why are many Obama supporters not contributing to his reelection campaign?"

    They have finally admitted to themselves that Obama is a failure, has hurt the nation, and was a mistake.

    Because the excitement he generated in 2008 is long gone. But don't get too excited. The GOP field is so disgusting he just many win reelection 420 days from now..

    because Obama is a complete and utter failure.

    why would they give him more money? he promised them jobs, and money, and free homes and mortgages being paid for.

    Where do you get the idea that Obama does not have a wad of corporate cash?

    Geez, Obama is really reeling them in with his selective crony capitalism and punishing people not in his circle of winners.

    The banksters seem to be betting on Romney winning this time because they know how much of a banker pawn Obama has been and don't think Americans would be quite that stupid to elect him again. My guess is that they are wrong, the voting population is dumb enough to elect zombie Hitler with Mao as VP.

    Funny note: Obama's campaign is already in debt! LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    I guess the better question is how many of Obama's former supporters still have jobs? Can they spare $5 for his election any more? I'm guessing not, he targeted the worst off, the only idiots that would buy in to Hope and Change, now they don't even have change for his campaign...

    The commoners who contributed to his campaign no longer have jobs. However, all of the regulatory, job killing lawyers and Goldman Sachs still have jobs. None of the bankers are sitting in a jail cell. Mission accomplished.

    LMFAO!!!

    Because they are broke, either just trying to make ends meet or out of a job, lost their home...all of the above. Black unemployment is near 17%. 40,000+ on food stamps. Last report about 2-3 million on welfare. This is his voting base....except for my brother who is just an idiot.

    For the last 3 weeks maybe. He wasted a whole two years trying to reason with republicans for health reform and he's pushed more tax cuts than Rush Limbaugh, military spending is still super high, we still have the patriot act and the CIA is still killing civilians with drones, so yes he has caved to republicans time and again.

    Really? the guy is dumber than I thought. He had a filibuster proof Senate and a majority in the House, why was he haggling with Republicans? Oh, yeah, he really is that stupid...

    general knowledge that most of Obama's 2008 was funded by laundered money distributed to appear as if made by individual donors. Many articles about this- close your eyes and cover your ears if you are a Democrat.

    Cause it is tough to donate your welfare check or food stamps to an election campaign? Maybe they are donating rocks and sluts to the staffers?

    I'm not so sure.

    These people have a lot of money they make from the "underground economy". These gains are never reported to the IRS so they can remian on welfare and collect their government checks courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers.

    This is how they were able to contribute so much money to Obama's campaign when he ran for president in 2008.
