Obama has held more re-election fundraisers than previous five Presidents combined as

[spursncowboys]

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Since keeping your job is a 1st term president's main goal. Also since he has so much negative, he has to go around and fund-raise. The article said he is the first president in 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state. That says alot since there seem to be more battleground states this year than any other year.

"he has so much negative"

only in your opinion/Fox fantasy world

It's a Citizens United world. No other Dem pres had to face Wall St and billionaires dumping unlimited, secret $100Ms against you.

wasn't Obama the pioneer of declining federal matching funds in order to raise unlimited soft money?

BHO was the first billion dollar presidential candidate...

[Winehole23]

... nobody ever faced one of those either, until 2008

[Winehole23]

the role of soft money in Obama's 2008 victory no doubt forms part of the political context of Citizen's United...

the price of buying the WH has been increasing for decades.

Barry just happened to be the inevitable candidate who broke past $1B.

I expect Willard Gecko to outspend Barry, with billionaires, Wall St, and UCA favoring him heavily. Money is Gecko's primary advantage since he's so unpopular with a large percentages of Repugs and Americans.

so what's the point of the thread?

Wow. Maybe someone at those fundraisers understands how gas prices works.

It surprises me you don't understand the point. It has been said many times Obama never stopped campaigning. He should be working on those "promises" that got him the job instead of making new ones. To help prove that point, it has been proven he goes to more reelection fundraisers than the last 5 presidents combined.

Also, I think I speak for many of us in expressing disappointment with you. We saw you called someone a " got" in another thread and "lol" at someone using that term on another person. You were against the term " got" before you were for it. God bless.
