Obama and his Hollywood friends are all rich millionaires and billionaires. So what's he complaining about?

Could you possibly write a more partisan headline, DN? You see the headline, which mentions _only_ Obama's spending, but then a little ways into the article, we read "Obama's television ad spending... is at rough parity with the Republican challenger and several outside GOP-led organizations combined. They appear positioned to outspend the president and his allies this fall, perhaps heavily." I'm sure your newspaper ran a few articles on the Citizens United ruling, no? So, when you said "Obama spends $100 million on ads," what you meant to say is "Both sides spend the same amount on ads."

DN, show a little journalistic integrity, eh? This is just getting pathetic.

Whew!! And Obama is complaining about Romney and his spending why? The real question is why isn't Obama spending that money on touting his record for the past four years instead of trying to create a negative impression of Romney? Oh, I know...he has no record to stand on!

It's too bad all this money is not helping the economy or deficit that he has created. The IRS should confiscate Obama's campaign funds to pay for all his personal expenses and overrun on his expense accounts.

Romney keeps campaigning like this to create another socialized health care plan may put himself out of the running and shoe in Ron Paul to take over the country.

Romney better listen carefully, no health care plans at all. None. Leave health care a free market service like it is supposed to be. Every government in the world who does have any socialized health care wishes they could bet rid of it and here Romney is trying to show his ignorance and allow Ron Paul to shut him down.

Repeal Obama care and Romney Care ideas. They are both bad ideas and economically dumb plans.

This would be amazing news if only the romney campaign were spending zero on campaign ads. But they're not, are they? But, the story provided the cheap partisan headline somebody wanted.

Just think of how many starving children this money could have been used to feed. Where is the compassion the liberals espouse?
