WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--President Barack Obama raised a combined $86 million for his re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee in the second quarter, outpacing Republican fund-raising leader Mitt Romney and likely out-raising all GOP challengers combined.
The total included about $47 million for the Obama 2012 campaign and about $38 million for a DNC "victory" fund.
The campaign announced the totals in a video from campaign manager Jim Messina, emailed to supporters around 5 a.m. Wednesday.
The president's campaign total topped the $18.25 million raised in the April-to-June quarter by Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who leads the GOP field in fund-raising and in national polls.
Unlike Romney's war chest, which is committed to the primary campaign, Obama's money can be used for the general election, so he can husband his funds for the head-to-head contest with the eventual GOP nominee next year.
While numbers are incomplete, Obama has likely outraised the combined GOP field in the second quarter.

Yeah probably most of the donations came from Muslim intrest groups and sympithizers and other country destroying orginizations with their liberal agenda. I wonder if George Soros kicked in.

they earned that money, it is theirs. just like the money you earn is yours.

i can apply the same logic and say you should give ALL your money to help fix the debt.

problem?

Mupphet.Man · Jul 15, 2011

If anyone of them did that, there would be more than just me thinking, "that dude has his head on straight." I have basically given up on politics though... They are all the same, they all lie, even precious little Obama, change, HAHAHAHAHA, fuck you assholes who voted him in so overwhelmingly, then bragged shit would change.

Change??? You're right, it's changed. It's gotten worse. Not all his fault, but he hasn't contributed shit to the welfare of the American people. BUT, he gets a big ol' jet to play with, that counts for something, right?

Obama will win again in 2012. Not because he was a good president, he isn't. He will win because we fear REAL change, and faggot is the incumbent.

Yeah man, problem, I pay taxes to "fix the debt." What little I might keep under the table, whatever have you, I would gladly contribute, if everyone else did as well.

My extra 10k a year doesn't touch them.

When there is such a HUGE disparity between the average American and the proverbial "top 1%" how can you get off saying it's the same for both of us? People like Obama can afford to help more, I can't. I help with my share... It would be ridiculous to ask more from me. YES I GROW POT. That doesn't make me rich, it doesn't make many of us rich. The money we make from doing this, is almost not worth the risk, and it takes work. I will IMMEDIATELY start paying taxes on my dope the day it is legal, until then they can suck my hairy nutts.

olylifter420 · Jul 15, 2011

we aint politicians bro and we do give them our money, i pay taxes as well

Couldnt of said it any better bro! I agree...

Shit if i was a millionaire and my donation could influence changes to benefit me and my buddies, i would donate millions, but im not a millionaire and hate politicians... so yea, i aint rich either...

Besides

I wasn't saying he should give ALL HIS MONEY AWAY. Fuckin' greedy assholes, always leaping for their wallets when someone starts talking common sense... I alluded to them giving the money for these ridiculous campaigns to the debt, why not? They are supposed to be public servants, not venture capitalists... I would respect a candidate much more if they were that sensible. Let me see Obama, should you spend MILLIONS on your shitty ass campaign, or cut my grandmothers social security and medicare?

Grow a brain, read, then come at me with some bs. I never said take all his money. I said these campaigns are stupid. Just plain stupid.

What's the solution you say? CLEAN ELECTION SYSTEMS. They work.

so do the politicians raising money for their campaigns. :dunce:

sounds like a perfect argument for why we need to return to higher tax levels on the rich.

again, so does the president and all the other politicos raising campaign funds.

if they have to give away money that is theirs, why shouldn't you?

have fun digging your logic hole even deeper.

they have to give away their extra money but you don't. :lol:

and you call them greedy :clap:

you want more of their money but you are not willing to give up more of your own....yet THEY are greedy? :dunce:

Mupphet.Man said:

why don't you give more money that you don't have to in order to help with the debt?

you can, ya know. the IRS will take it, i assure you.

Mupphet.Man said:

no sensible politician would give away money that would be used toward their campaign. that would in fact be pretty dumb.

about as dumb as the line of reasoning you and olylifter have ventured down.

Mupphet.Man said:

yeah, you only called them greedy while saying they should give away money that they don't have to, yet you are exempt from the same rule.

yet I need to grow a brain :lol:

olylifter420 · Jul 15, 2011

ok bro, like if them giving away that minuscule amount of money to help with the debt is going to affect their wallets! Please man, i make donations but i dont get to enjoy any benefits big time donors do, but i still donate, do you donate?

OK... If you didn't take from my rant there that I favor adjusting our tax system you are dull. Yeah, they need to be taxed more, they can give more, and they are Americans too. Already, we, the middle class, pay more than our share. You may argue we use more services, so it makes sense, but that's why we are Americans - or at least, that used to be a good selling point here. Everyone is supposed to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No one should "milk" the system, I know I don't! The system needs to be there though, because everyone falls on hard times. If you are a millionaire or billionaire and you can live knowing there are so many horribly impoverished people out there who need such basic things as food, and you bitch about taxes - fuck you. And fuck everyone who agrees with them. If you want to live like a third world country, move there.

It's been nice throwing words back and forth, but I'd be better off talking to my plants.

Mupphet.Man · Jul 15, 2011

Basically, "logic master," it has to do with everyone giving an amount that is equitable to what they have. Why would you tax a homeless man as much as a millionaire? Doesn't make sense to me. Let's be real here anyway, the 1% could spend all day and all night for the rest of their lives, (and not work a day - in fact most aren't self-made), and when they died they'd still have more than enough. That's the principle here. It's not about me not wanting to give, I do give. I feel that my tax burden is equal to my standard of living. I can't say that they should feel that way, if they do, and you understand why, then fill me in with your "logic."
