Obama Campaign Calls Out The WSJ On Their Reporting
Just in on Mark Halperin's The Page, the Obama campaign has responded to the Wall Street Journal story about their $30 million haul in June:

Spokesman Dan Pfeiffer:

“The Wall Street Journal report of our fundraising numbers is way off the mark. It appears that after 18 months, some in the press still haven’t realized that anyone who is talking about numbers doesn’t know what our numbers are.”

2. LOL! Hope it wasn't LESS than 30 million.
That would suck.

7. Great answer! I hope that
with an answer like that they will not announce that they have raised $31 million! WHEN are they going to announce? Is there a deadline? End of this month? Anybody knows?

15. You are right.

The website says July 15th is the quarterly deadline. July 20th is the monthly deadline.

16. WSJ (Now Owned By Rupert Murdoch) Is Just An Arm Of Fox News
Before the WSJ merely had anti-Democrat bias. Now that it is owned by Rupert Murdoch, it has an agenda like Fox News.
