Should 0bama Share His Campaign Contributions?

For the first time ever in U.S. history, the candidates for president have raised more than $1 billion. The candidates now file campaign finance reports monthly.

[Brown Deer]

The total receipts for John McCain are $360,167,824 and for Barack 0bama, $639,174,282, well above $250,000. If Barry truly believes in spreading the wealth, then why isn't he sharing the almost one billion dollars in campaign contributions that he has received with any other candidates?

He talks about oil company profits, but those profits actually go to the stockholders. Who are the stockholders? Mostly mutual funds and hard working Americans with 401-k plans and IRAs. Who owns the mutual funds? Children saving for their future education and people like us with 401-k plans and IRAs.

He likes to put down the oil companies with their thousands of employees and millions of American owners, but Barack Hussein 0bomba is a person that we know very little about. Who knows if he is even a natural born American citizen? Yet, millions of people, including people on welfare and foreigners are pumping money into his campaign, a campaign that promises redistribution of wealth. It seems like the redistribution of wealth is going directly into Barack Hussein 0bomba's pockets.

let him blow the $$$ on himself keeping the $$$ from his fellow mates thus ruining everybody’s chances

Obama: Do as I say, not as I do

[madison10]

Of course he should share. Obama should set an example by spreading HIS wealth around first. I wanna see how (if) it works.

Personally I think Obama is a selfish, narcissist.

[Ulysse]

The answer to your question seems obvious

[Abathar]

If the one loses can he bank the balance for another run in 4 years?

Properly invested he could see a very nice return, in fact if he loses I imagine he will begin his re-election plans on Nov. 6th, low level of course, but still...

Should 0bama Share His Campaign Contributions?

It depends on the restrictions his muslim contributors placed on the money.

“The system works better when you spread the wealth around.”

OK, so I’m waiting to see the checks the Obama campaign is going to write not only to McCain, but to Keyes, Baldwin, Barr, Nader, McKinney, etc.

Wonder if Jesse and the other brothas will give BHO a shakedown for their cut of that $600 million pie.

Exactly!

[C210N]

Yes, the obvious answer is no.

Would you want money, if the original source was Soros?

Would you want a bank robber to share his "wealth" with you?

[apocalypto]

I thought it was illegal to share campaign contributions. I sure would not want to contribute to Canidate A only to have him pass it on to Candidate B whom I might dislike.

[hosepipe]

The money left in Obama campaign coffers after the election should be substantial.. making the boy quite rich.. Because his campaign money belongs TO HIM...

[CindyDawg]

It would be very selfish not to.

[Alex Murphy]

Precisely!

[madison10]

It probably is illegal, but it was the thought that counted...Obama passing around HIS wealth. Wouldn't want it to go the other way, though. :)

[4Liberty]

No, no, no. The One should control ALL the Wealth. Don’t you guys get it?
