Good. He should “spread the wealth around” and it give to some of the homeys that voted for him.
To: weegee
You'd think with all those millions, he could afford to get a certified copy of his original birth certificate. Notaries can't be THAT expensive!

how much came from overseas?
how much did Soros fund him though prepaid credit cars and I can’t still believe that is legal and why the GOP is not banning them so we do not have to face the same crap again in 4 years.
What is wrong with the GOP, get them banned?

All I can say is Barry has one helluva lot of “favors” to return with a haul like that.
Without a doubt, the Presidency has now been bought and paid for.

Here's how the liberal media reports Obama's fundraising:
Obama reported raising $104 million in more than five weeks immediately before and after Election Day. It was his second biggest fundraising period and a fitting coda to a successful presidential bid that shattered fundraising records.
Now, compare that to
an article in the WAPO in July 2003 on George W. Bush's fundraising:
Almost all of the top Bush fundraisers are in the top 1 percent of the nation's incomes, and many are in the top one-tenth of the top 1 percent. Consequently, they are among those who benefit the most from administration legislation reducing the top income tax rate, the capital gains rate and the elimination of taxation on dividend income.
The moral of the story is, when Democrats do it, it's good. When Republicans do it, it's bad.

The question is,,who received the most in LEGAL contributions?
To: AmericanGirlRising
According to this article,
Obama raised 100 million more than Bush and Kerry combined.
McCain raised about half as much which was more than either Bush or Kerry.
Finally, I doubt no matter who ran against Obama, we would not have come up with 750 million.

$745 million raised for 66,882,230 votes that’s over 11 dollars per vote. If you count in kind contributions from the networks and NYT the number is significantly higher.
