7/9/10: Obama's Failed Economy Affects His Fundraising Abilities

Is Obama losing his appeal? Or have Obama's failed economic policies come back to bite Democrat voters in the wallet, thus reducing their ability to shell out $250 to watch President Bow n' Tax talk down America in person?

Pres. Obama is the best fundraiser the Dem Party has, but his drawing power is way down from its peak during the '08 campaign.

Obama is heading to MO and NV today to raise money for Sec/State Robin Carnahan (D), running for an open Senate seat, and Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid.

But Carnahan's campaign wasn't able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots event on Carnahan's behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.

Lil' bit of both, perhaps?
