Obama raises $86M haul in second quarter
The Hill ^ | July 13, 2011 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 07/13/2011 7:14:03 AM PDT by Al B.

President Obama raised a mammoth sum for his campaign in the second quarter collecting $86 million to support his reelection, a figure that should far surpass the fundraising totals for his Republican challengers.

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina announced the haul in a web video posted Wednesday morning, outlining for supporters the president's second quarter numbers, as well as a bit of the campaign's fundraising strategy.

The $86 million figure represents a sum that includes contributions directly to Obama's campaign, along with money collected by the Obama Victory Fund, the joint-fundraising account established to benefit the president's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Mostly untraceable under-$250 donations. Crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

For some reason those ‘millionaires & billionaires’ like Obama more than he likes them.

How much of this was from him campaigning from the WH, and let’s see a list of donor names. Transparency, wasn’t that the word he used? Uhuh!

Will he have to pay taxes on the $86 million or is it an above the law loop hole?.

hmm no, its misleading, Obama’s campaign raised $47 million, the rest was dnc, flogging crap.

Now Obama’s campaign under that score if he wants to rais 1 billion is not going to get it under that fundraising.

If he was really concerned with the SS checks, he’d donate all those millions to help with the situation.

The Republican National Committee, in a separate statement, claimed Obama’s fundraising was a testament to how unfocused he is on the economy.

“It’s obvious that despite his claims that he’s focused on creating jobs, it’s clear his priority is saving his own. We always knew Obama would raise the first billion-dollar campaign and he’s going to need every penny of it to defend his abysmal economic record that has left millions of Americans without jobs,” the RNC said.

Obama needs to be removed from office and tried for treason for the harm he has intentionally done to America. All the money in the world won’t help him where he is going.

The Obama campaign declares 98 percent of their donations were for $250 or less, and that the average was $69.

Right...

Be very cautious when you claim superiority for the TP.

Obama has not even begun to rake in his contributions from his massive crony Corporations. (GM, Siemons, GE, Mega-Banks, BP, etc,,,)

The MSM machine has also planned an attack strategy never before seen.

This thing will be far from easy, if not impossible.

[ This thing will be far from easy, if not impossible. ]

I agree.. The democrats have got voter fraud perfected..
and are coming up with new gambits.. at least new to republicans.. (who never learn)..

It will a miracle if this election is honest and straight forward..
The democrats “Dear Leader” is at risk... and the democrat machine politics as well..

I would not rule out visits with “offers one cannot refuse” from Union goons..
That is..... IF they are not happening as I speak...

IF ever poll watchers were in order this time is a MUST...
With video, live action and everything.. video cameras are cheap and available..
