The WSJ looks at gripes from Democratic donors, which tends to be described as particular to a subset of the fundraising world but actually exist with various groups, and gets some acknowledgment from Team Obama about a lack of maintenance:

"I don't think we have been particularly attentive to the so-called care and feeding of donors," said David Axelrod, Mr. Obama's former senior adviser, who is now advising the re-election campaign.
"It wasn't a lack of appreciation for supporters," he said. "I think it was largely a function of the fact that the president and everybody around him was absorbed in dealing with some fairly significant challenges." Still, Mr. Axelrod and Obama re-election officials said the campaign's fund-raising totals would put to rest any doubts about Mr. Obama's donor base.

But an amazing anecdote suggests there's still a lot of work to be done with donors who think the administration has been tone-deaf:

At a recent gathering of major donors here, former National Economic Council Director Larry Summers, who headlined a breakout session on the economy, got into an exchange with a donor that resulted in the man walking out of the session, according to people at the event.

The donor told Mr. Summers that he'd had trouble getting approved for a loan, according to people present. After the man repeatedly returned to his personal troubles, Mr. Summers said that no one at the conference—where attendees were asked to raise $350,000—was experiencing the kinds of financial difficulties faced by ordinary Americans. The man got frustrated and left the room, people at the event said.

"I don't think we have been particularly attentive to the so-called care and feeding of donors," said David Axelrod

This is interesting Obama and his boys view their supporters as mouth breathing drooling loony bin patients in need of care and feeding. Maybe there is some truth there.

The man got frustrated and left the room

Reads this boy finally realized Obama is not a halo wearing messiah.

Some quotes from this Wall Street Journal article left liberal Politico declined to cite:

"Obama doesn't care about us. Let him take care of himself"

"not contributing a dime"

"worse than Republicans"

"He's going to need more than $1 billion to explain the record he has."
