Progressive Change Campaign Committee Threatens To Pull Obama Support Ahead Of 2012

A liberal group upset over potential cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security delivered pledges Friday to President Barack Obama’s national campaign headquarters threatening to pull its support.

About a dozen people representing the Progressive Change Campaign Committee delivered what they said were 200,000 pledges from people who will refuse to donate or volunteer for Obama’s re-election campaign if he cuts the entitlement programs.

There is a word missing from those pledges. That word is “vote,” as in “No way in hell will I vote for that Dick.”

Oh wait, here it is:

“It’s not a question of who they’re going to support for president, they’re going to vote for Barack Obama. It’s a question of where their time and money is going to go,” spokesman T. Neil Sroka said.

Gee, I bet Dick is really worried:

Obama fundraising report signals juggernaut campaign

President Obama has amassed a formidable team of more than 240 big-dollar fundraisers just three months into his 2012 reelection campaign, including more than two dozen bundlers who have each raised at least $500,000.

---

Here’s the $64,000 question: Why would ANY liberal or progressive in his or her right mind vote for a candidate who is raising gazillions of dollars from big money bundlers?

That’s like turkeys voting for the Foster Farms candidate.

---

I'm still gonna vote for you but you can forget about any donations after this!

The Hill:

Jackson Lee: Congress complicating debt ceiling because Obama is black

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.

“I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness [toward] this president,” said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “Why is he different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully? Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Why did the leader of the Senate continually talk about his job is to bring the president down to make sure he is unelected?”

Earlier in her speech, Jackson Lee said Obama has been targeted unlike any other president.

“I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president — only this one, only this one — has received the kind of attacks and disagreement and inability to work, only this one,” said Jackson Lee from the House floor.

“Read between the lines,” she continued. “What is different about this president that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills, something required by both statute and the 14th amendment?”

Shorter SJL: “You know a brother can’t get credit.”

Funny, but I seem to remember another President who got treated disrespectfully for eight whole years.

You didn’t really think she had a chance, did you?

Bloomberg:

Obama Eliminates Warren as Consumer Head

President Barack Obama has chosen a candidate other than Elizabeth Warren as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the matter.

The president’s choice is a person who already works at the consumer agency, the person said today. Obama may make the nomination as soon as next week, another person briefed on the administration’s plans said.

The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process isn’t public, didn’t give the name of the choice.

Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard professor, was appointed last fall by Obama to set up the consumer bureau until a director was named. Warren previously was head of the congressional watchdog panel overseeing the bank bailout.

This is what happens when a Washington watchdog watches too closely. Nekkid Capitalism:

We have said for some time Warren was not going to get head the new consumer financial protection agency. Obama was not willing to ruffle the banks, and Geithner, who is is most powerful Cabinet member, would not stand for it). Nevertheless, we are disappointed by this outcome. And it seems a bit churlish for this news to be leaked the day after she ran the gauntlet with the House Oversight Panel.

Yves guesses the new choice will be Raj Date, “a former McKinsey staffer and banking industry executive (Capital One and Deutsche Banka) whose name was floated a month ago.”

Among his other qualifications, Raj possesses an Obama, something Warren never had.
