Obama to Dems, your Screwed

[Boston Tea Party]

WASHINGTON -- Democrats in the House and Senate will have to rely on their own fundraising prowess after learning they will not be getting any help from the president's re-election campaign.

According to Politico, Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina and White House senior adviser David Plouffe told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that Democrats in Congress will not be able to rely on the $30 million they received in 2008 and 2010 from Obama for America (OFA) and the Democratic National Committee.

President Obama has also committed to attending just one fundraiser each for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), according to the report.

"Our top priority and focus is to secure the electoral votes necessary to reelect the president," Messina told Politico. "There's no doubt that Democratic campaigns face a challenging new political landscape with special interests giving unlimited amounts to super PACs. We're committed to doing everything we can to elect a Democratic House and Senate, and we're having a conversation about the best way to achieve that goal."
