Brother, can you spare some "change?"

The Obama fundraising machine has already started begging for 2012 re-election funds. The campaign is admitting to potential donors that The Teleprompter-In-Chief is "weaker," but maintains that he has indeed "recovered" from all the mayhem he has created-so they will pony up the dough.

From the WSJ, "Donors Told Obama in Weaker Position":

President Barack Obama's advisors are telling potential donors that he is in a weaker position heading into the 2012 election than he was in 2008 and are detailing potential vulnerabilities of likely opponents, according to people who have seen their presentation...

Part of Mr. Messina's presentation is to caution donors that while Mr. Obama has recovered after the trouncing his party took in the 2010 elections and is well-positioned for 2012, he will face a tough re-election fight that will require substantial donor support, according to people familiar with the presentation....

The slide show cites Michigan and Pennsylvania as places where Mr. Obama's standing has dropped since 2008 while GOP support has gone up. Using bureaucratic short hand for President of the United States, the slides warn: "POTUS maintains clear but narrowed support" and note there is "significant work to do to increase support among key demographics."..
