Ok so we have all been hearing the storyies that McLame is running out of money.

We also may recall the same thing happened to Hillary's campaign.

So I have a theory. Wealthy people are so rich they never have to budget, so when they are running their campaigns, the money flows freely because they are not accustomes to constraining their spending.

Now I am not knocking the Wealthy, but when you consider Bush Comes from Old money, it's little wonder he just spent like crazy, and never tried to budget.

And McLame has had his's wife money, if not her LOVE, for a long time, I serously doubt he would be much better.

I believe the fact the Obama only recently Paid off his and his wife's college loans in My opinion is proof they understand the value of a Dollar, and the importance of learning how to stretch it.

1. I used to work for a billionaire... in her home office...
Fifteen people on payroll to manage her money. She didn't know how to order food for herself at Subway... I'm series!

You may have something here.

2. Would Obama handle budgeting, etc, for the campaign himself?
Wouldn't you hire somebody for that?

3. You would think, but if they people they hire all wealthy, and let's face it spending other people's
money is fun and easy.

If every one is acting like it's a limitless well, they are not "budgeting" they are only spending
