Obama raised $46M in March

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in March raised $46.4 million and spent $37.7 million — not including money raised with the Democratic National Committee, new federal campaign finance filings indicate. That easily exceeded what presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney generated for March — $12.6 million — while still facing a stiff primary challenge from Rick Santorum, who’s since dropped out. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee raised $7.3 million in March, not including Obama committee-related transfers. The DNC, which operated a joint fundraising committee with the Obama campaign, may use the money it raises to benefit Obama and other Democrats.

At that rate only 322 million through October, half what they spent last time and far from the billion they threatened to raise.
Not sure how that superPac will do with illegal donations and rich liberals etc.

No he didn't. He did what every other President has done; he sold a promise of access to the White House in another term. Only difference with this guy is where the money is coming from.

It seems to me that this second time around Obama’s election team looks as bloated and inefficient as everything else he has done in the last 3 years.

They better raise a lot more money than that.... Because the only way Obama is winning this one is by buying the entire country.....these willing to be bought....

Even people who I know are hard core leftist will have a very hard time voting for him and will probably sit out or just vote down ticket....

In there moments of honesty they know they have been sold a bill of goods....
