Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama makes an announcement that must have party members running scared.

Yesterday, bad news hit the fan with Obama telling Senate and House Democrats there would be no money coming from the DNC, this election cycle, a rather shocking development in view of the fact that the Lame Stream Media has been telling us "all is well" with Obama and his campaign funding goal of a billion dollars.

Understand that he has been officially campaigning since the first week of April, 2011. In the 11 month period since then, he has raised a disturbingly low $178 million, according to this graph from the Washington Post.

$178.1 million raised

Of course, Democrat SuperPac money is considerable, but most of that will be used in support of Obama's re-election, with two of these Pacs being run by his subordinates. GOP SuperPacs are well heeled, as well.

In effect, Obama threw his Democrat congressional partners "under the bus" with this latest announcement. "You're on your own" has to be have the feel of a knife in the back, to many within his party. I personally believe that Obama has been the worst thing to happen to the Democrat/Progressive party ever; disappointment is palatable within his base and visceral within the larger electorate.

One can only play word games until reality becomes unavoidable - and that time is now. Will it benefit Dems or the GOP ? That is not yet clear, but it is certain that Obama is running well behind his expectations for this point in the campaign.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Fox News Poll shows Obama beats all GOP candidates 6 to 1 in the Hispanic vote. 72% - 14%

Joe Scarborough called this poll "fatal" for Republicans.

WSJ Poll shows Obama 19 points ahead of Romney in the women vote.

The GOP has alientated women, hispanics, blacks, gays, healthcare, unions... am I leaving any group out?

40% say the GOP primary has made them less happy with the candidates - 3 to 1 over those that say they have become more happy with what they've learned.

Looks like 4 more years.
