Gee, he raised more money last month than McCain did in his entire campaign through the end of January.

That's not terribly comforting...

[Mariner]

McCain's money will start pouring in now that he's the GOP candidate.

Count on it.

[Truth is a Weapon]

Has anyone thought of auditing these donation roles to see if they are legit? It would not be too tough for Soros or some other big donor to write some bots to make thousands of $100 donations.

[InvisibleChurch]

I thought his supporters were poor and oppressed.

Really? I don't think I know anybody planning to contribute to McCain. There are plenty of conservatives out there running for House, Senate, governor, etc. For most of February, McCain was the clear nominee, and he only raised $8 million. There's a reason for that.

What’s the rule on money designated a “windfall”? Aren’t those supposed to be taken away from the greedy people who receive them?

O could help erase the deficit if he would just continue for 4 years. Please don't stop.

[gathersnomoss]

Nah, McCain took care of that.

More than $45 million raised online in February.

If this has not been a Leap Year, Obama would have not raised nearly that amount in February!

Note to Self: Start Freeper Movement to Abolish Leap Years in order to stop the Democratic Fund Raising Machine as well as to decrease the number of days our children are taught Evolution in our public schools!

[Dixie Yooper]

Could this mean that people are giving him their mortgage payments???

[Always Right]

More than $45 million raised online in February More than 90% of online donations were $100 or less

Very misleading. That could just mean there were 9 donations of $100 and one for $44.999 million. Not that that is legal, but you get the drift.

[bert]

He could save 100,000 crack babies with that money or send 2 million fatherless kids to kindergarden, or save 0 queers from aids, or build a half mile of New Orleans levee, or buy 10 windgenerators or .....

What a terrible waste

Obama wants to be president 1974

I don't get it. Is the "narrator" supposed to be funny by saying "negro" so many times?

[BARLF]

I don’t know, I just found it and the guy speaking doesn’t look like Obama,does he?

[trumandogz]

I did not realize that Obama was only 13 years old when he went to college.

It would not be too tough for Soros or some other big donor to write some bots to make thousands of $100 donations.

What! Campaign contributions to a democrat that arn’t on the level. I can't believe that!

Notice that money in politics is only a problem for the MSM when Republicans are raising it.
