CNN: "Obama rakes in $52 in June"

Read it for yourself at CNN.

Sorry folks - campaign's over. Obama raised only $52 for the entire month. Clearly his donor base has dried up. Who knows why - could be economic reasons, or concerns about the candidate's economic or foreign policies or experience issues. It's too soon to say. But if the election is less than four months away and Obama can only raise $52 (which he probably found between the cushions of David Plouffe's couch), and McCain got $22 million, there's no way Obama can win.

I'll pass out hankies if necessary.

This is why it's important to include figures like "millions" if you are stating large dollar amounts.

Hillary's gonna be thrilled to learn she now owes all of $11.

It seems to be fixed now.

I had a feeling they'd fix it eventually; that's why I quoted it in the thread title. Fortunately I told you guys, my coworkers and my girlfriend first.
