<<<< Understand that it was Obama who broke his promise to abide by campaign finance rules, back in 2008. While he whines about the money being raised against his presidency, he is the one who set the standard for the recent rush of campaign contributions, not the GOP.
Obama Trails Romney Again in Battle for Campaign Cash for second consecutive month
Several top Obama donors said privately that
Mr. Obama’s attacks on Mr. Romney’s private equity career, the president’s
handling of White House relations with business leaders and his criticisms of
tax rates for the wealthy had made it harder for some of his allies to raise
money on Mr. Obama’s behalf from the financial sector and other industries.

Editor's notes: Understand that comparing Obama 2012 to Obama 2008 is not the only
comparison that is worth the mention.
When we compare the GOP 2008 financial campaign ($530 million) to
the GOP 2012 campaign season, with
Romney on track to raise $800, the
difference is telling and adds to the cautious warning in the words of our news
blub.
Last month (June), Obama
raised $70 million compared to Romney’s $106 million and is spending at three
times the rate of Romney. In Iowa, for example,
Obama has purchased 42,000 advertising ratings points, the bulk of which are extremely negative ads
railing against Romney on a personal level.
You should know that the media industry recommends the purchase of 1,000
ratings points to ensure full saturation for a particular advertisement. In
short, Obama is flooding the Iowa market
with negative adds in this state.
In the end and to date, he
is polling down in the black community,
with young college aged voters,
with women --- traditionally, his voting strength.
