Obama’s goal of 20,000 small donors in September misses target by nearly 44% or 8482 donors

obama-flyWould you donate to someone who’s face attracts flies like feces? Obama is so bad, even his astroturf campaign isn’t even pulling in 60% of it’s goals anymore. The goal for Obama’s September astroturf campaign was to sign up 20,000 “small donations.” September ended, and the Obama regime was only able to pull in  11,518 small donations. This misses the target by 43.5% or 8,482 donors. Lets justs call it Obama’s donor stimulus bill or something. ABC as usual tries to sugarcoat the story, but even with ABC in Obama’s back pocket, the numbers don’t lie.

The Obama campaign, which has prided itself on robust engagement of its grassroots supporters, appears to have stumbled in an effort meant to enlist at least 20,000 small donors by the end of September.

A campaign website set up to track the grassroots fundraising competition reported just 11,518 donations through 12:47 p.m. on Sept. 30 — a surprising result given the intensive focus on the program by Obama’s campaign team.

The president himself had offered a phone call to the two individuals who gathered the most contributions as a top prize.
Obama campaign aides have publicly advertised a $55 million fundraising goal for the third quarter, which ended Friday — a number they’ll likely reach and exceed.

Since then, there are signs the campaign has struggled to energize some groups of high-dollar donors, particularly those on Wall Street who had supported his 2008 campaign. Aides have also cited the cancellation of several fundraisers during the debt ceiling debate and the typical summer-month fundraising doldrums in an effort to lower expectations.
