WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, together with the Democratic National Committee, raised more than $68 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina said on Thursday.
Messina told supporters in a video message that 98 percent of the donations were made up of $250 or less, illustrating growing grassroots support for Obama, a Democrat, as he works to hold on to the White House in November's election.
The fourth quarter fundraising haul puts the Obama campaign and DNC fundraising at over $200 million for the year. The two groups had raised roughly $155 million through the end of September.....snip~

I call bullshit that all his donations are grassroots. I think CL and I had something up on his fundraiser out in Cali which was like 35k a plate. Yesterday he was in Chicago for 3 fundraisers. One waas at someones house and it was like 1100 to get in.
Either way.....he raised 750 million last time. Last year they were talking a Billion. His expectations have come down. Plus now he isn't garnering so much of that Jewish Money. Also last time the DNC split their money with Hillary and him. So it is less than last time round by far. But talk about buying ones way into the Presidency. Doesn't get any better than this. :angry:
