Obama losing financial backing of big S.F. donor

San Francisco philanthropist Susie Tompkins Buell, one of the Democratic Party's most generous benefactors, is keeping her checkbook closed when President Obama holds high-priced California fundraisers this week.

"I want to look him in the eye and say, 'Thank you so much' " for his work, said Buell, who expresses deep disappointment in the president's leadership on environmental issues, especially climate change.

With Obama's 2012 re-election campaign in full swing, "I would just love to write my big check ... or have a high-dollar dinner here" on his behalf, she said. "I can't."

"I've just given so much money away, and I've never asked for anything," she said in an interview at her Pacific Heights home this week. Now, "I'm asking for something: He's got to be a leader."

Libs Want owebuma To Lead, but not from behind. If you are a big lib donor, and you think owebuma isn't doing enough for your lib pet project, all you have to do is threaten to not donate any more big checks to the campaign. Proving yet again owebuma's heart is in his wallet...

Obama boasted he would have a BILLION dollar re-election fund. So the donors dry up. Obama doesn't care. He'll just take money from the first Stimulus bill...No one knows where its been spent. There was never any accounting.

Why work hard for donations when you can campaign on the taxpayer dime?

Even Obummer and his WH clique recognize that where she wants him to lead is ballot box poison.  It's a dilemna for the Dems, an awful lot of their biggest money is on the far left, but very few votes are there.

This is why lib/dems are known for their skill and expertise in "Threading the needle". The problem is libs are so used to being lied to and taken advantage of, they are shy about writing checks on empty promises.

He will lie his ass off and she will fold like a tent. She could always back Nader or some other env. nut.

I'm sure Chris Matthews or some other Media Fanboy will start throwing around the "r" word in regard to this in about five minutes.

I dunno....... he might be too busy feelin' that tingle runnin' up his leg in order to pay much attention. Ah'm pretty sure he's had on in his ass, too, so he might be busy!

She might not be writing obummer a check, but you know damn well she will be voting for him.
