Obama campaign still asking for contributions
In what he called “my last election,” President Barack Obama scored a hard-fought but comfortable victory over Mitt Romney last month, but that doesn’t mean his email list will no longer be hit up for campaign cash. To wit, Mr. Obama’s electoral operation, Obama for America, is asking their supporters to contribute after filling out a form backing his plan to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
“Thanks for sharing your story. The next chapter begins today. Stand with President Obama for the next four years,” a subsequent contribution form declares. Suggested donation amounts range from $15 to $1,000 and a picture of Mr. Obama is presented with the text, “Stand with me, work with me, let’s finish what we’ve started.”

The permanent campaign continues.
He’s running for a third term. Who wants to place bets that by year 6, the Democrats will be demanding presidential term limits be scrapped?

I have to ask, WHAT did bho/team do with all the money they got for the re-election? Did they spend a great gob on paying people to vote for them? bho/team will always be asking for people to fund them for something?
Also, did bho/team pay anything for his constant campaigning using AF1? bho wasn’t suppose to use AF1 for campaigning was he? Oh, that probably doesn’t effect bho, he doesn’t do anything legal?

Hey, give the guy a break. Third term elections don’t pay for themselves.

Obama: You folks are just mean. I gotta raise half a billion for my Presidential Library, you know. /s

I’d like to contribute this raised middle finger. Don’t spend it all at once.

Hillary and Bill are still paying off her 2008 run. What the hell do these people do with the money?

100% guarantee all ‘contributions’ are just laundered taxpayer dollars that originally went out in porkulus or other green programs.

His campaign probably has a lot of debts to pay. They may have spent $1B but didn’t raise $1B.
Holding off any predictions that he wants to really violate the Constitution and seek a 3rd term…for now.

Don’t be so sure that this dictator will leave office in January 2017 on his own accord. I sure don’t.

They need it, desperately, fools.

Remember that for 2014.

I’ll take you up on that. Did the same for some wing nuts who thought GW would become a dictator too.

He always said he needed 10 to 12 years to fix the mess.
I don’t expect him too. Neither do I expect his cult following to stand down in 2016. We will hear cries of violence and riot if we don’t allow him to run again. Another thing that could happen is FLOTUS could run. She said she was thinking about it. If she does and I expect she will, the repubs should just save money because there is a snowballs chance in hell that they would win against the “First Black Woman President”. No, I expect the Os will be around for a good long time. The Tories won and we now have our King and the royal line to rule over us.
