    Obama Campaign & DNC Raise 68 Million.....

    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~

    Reuters – 6 mins ago.....<<<<< More Here!

    I call bull$#@! 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.

    There is no way that 98% of the 68M was $250 or less. I could see them taking larger donations and splitting them up then bundling but that's not the same thing.

    I am quite sure you and I were talking bout those fundraisers out in Cali. Grass roots movement my ass. You think Soro's, Gates, Buffett, and Goldman Sachs is giving Obama 250 dollars or less? Lady Rothschild. This is what I am talking about and the media should be gone after for trying to spin it any this way.

    Yes, we were talking about those fundraisers here in CA. Like you said there were also the ones in Chicago and ones in Florida that Obama attended on the same day his Jobs Bill went before the Senate. It is obvious where his priorities are. I am sure the media on the right will go after him for this.

    Oh yeah Dennis Prager was hitting him on it.....plus some writers for TownHall Mag and The Blaze! Should have seen and heard all the Military helicopters that were flying all over Chicago before he got here and after he got here. Big time security for some reason. Never saw such with Bush and or Clinton this way. I mean it was a lot just for the President stopping to do some fundraisers. Nothing Exceeds like Excess!
