Obama Raises Over 70 Million For His Campaign.....

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's campaign raised more than $70 million combined for his re-election and the Democratic party during the summer, an amount that gives him a clear advantage over his Republican rivals but is less than his initial fundraising effort.

The fundraising total announced Thursday exceeds a goal set by the campaign of $55 million combined for the July-September fundraising period but is about $16 million less than Obama raised during the April-June quarter.

The numbers include $42.8 million for Obama's campaign and $27.3 million for the Democratic National Committee, which will help Obama's re-election effort next year.

Obama still leads his Republican rivals in fundraising by tens of millions and can save most of it for next year because he does not face a primary opponent.....snip~

Already Obama is calling himself the Underdog. Yet Romney only has 17 mil. People are still giving to him. Even though there has been a drop off as well as the canceling of fundraisers for him.

Romney is canceling fundraisers?

I can't believe Obama has raised so much but this should really show everyone he is in cahoots with the special interests and not some champion of the people, which is what his voters believed the first time around.

Hmmmmm Elibe. Those are Democratic Fundraisers. Still they thought they would have more. Plus now he is losing the Jewish support. That means money! Lady Jane Rothschild already ante'd up with Huntsmen this time round.

But just how is he helping the country out by spending money for all that money he pulls in? They plan to break 750 million dollars this time. Think that 750 million could help out with some infrastructure? Shouldn't all those Democractic Donors be trying to help their part of the country and not wasting money by partying?

U-know.....Ask not what your country can do for you. But what you can do for your Country. Althought we can make it simpler. How bout doing for your own state and not Washington D.C.

Haven't you heard? The conservative court ruled in Citizens United that corporations have the right to free speech and political donations. It's the law and the Constitution, sorry if you don't like it but you have only your own people to thank for it.
