Obama’s Illinois financial backers told recent results are “extremely anemic”
“After months of record-breaking fundraising, a new sense of urgency in Barack Obama’s fundraising team is palpable as the full weight of the campaign’s decision to bypass public financing for the general election is suddenly upon them.
“Pushing a fundraiser later this month, a finance staff member sent a sharply worded note last week to Illinois members of Mr. Obama’s national finance committee, calling their recent efforts ‘extremely anemic.’
