Stephanopoulos: Obama raised over $150 million in September

Palin’s relentless attacks were what drove Obama’s supporters to contribute in Sept. Thanks Ms Palin!

with the unfortunate mistakes and misjudgments the McCain Palin ticket has made with where the line is between campaigning…and inciting a whole new generation of “Timothy mcVeighs” and “Joe Vogels”…
Obama unfortunately is going to have to put about half of that into security…ugh.
not just a question of McCain Palin’s judgment…but a loss of character like a double diamond ski slope. ugh.

Palin’s relentless attacks were what drove Obama’s supporters to contribute in Sept. Thanks Ms Palin!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have friends who are dyed-in-the-wool Republicans that live in Northern California (Menlo Park, Ca.), who absolutely LOATHE Sarah Palin, and who don’t like John McCain either, and they maxed-out months ago on how much they could afford to give to Obama’s campaign so at that point in time, they recruited THEIR well-heeled friends/relatives to give to Obama’s campaign, and they tell me that most HAVE–Truly Fascinating. Personally, I’ve given myself to Obama’s campaign, although not nearly as much as they’ve given, but for Obama to have raised $150 million dollars in 1 month is totally staggering, because that money had to have been generated by SOMETHING/SOMEONE, so Obama will have MORE than enough to spend McCain/Palin under the table while at the same time, if he chooses he can help other Dems down the ticket as well in other states.
Hats off to O!!!

Unlike the McCain campaign that spreads hate, Obama is about hope and what is good about America. Latest McCain camp craziness
Pro-America parts of USA-S. Palin hmmm the rest of us are what?
Northern VA is communist-McCain’s brother
Real vs Fake VA-McCain surrogate
Congress anti-American Buchannan Repub MN
Tax-cut for working class is welfare-John McCain
What kind of hate is this?? If someone is voting republican and are your friends, challange them to defend this crap. Please do not give up, talk to your family and friends and let’s send McCain/Palin to frozen political north pole.
YES WE CAN

I wish that money could turn into votes. 150 million votes would be a landslide. Let’s not get complacent. Still a lot of work to do. Get out the vote!

US has a choice, which is either to vote in Obama and regain the worlds respect, leadership of the free world and save the world in teh process; or vote in McCain and continue to be a laughing stock of the world and continue with the destruction which it has been very successful for the past 8 years.

Big sum of donation is not the accumulation of donation from general citizens. The big amounts are usually contributed from rich people, certain associations, companies, parties, etc. whom Obama may need to return favour to.
Palin’s wordings on Obama’s relationship with Ayers were too strong without rationale or solid proof. However, Americans seem not really care whom Obama is related with. Americans do not care whether certain people other than general citizens might benefit from Obama’s presidency.
This can prove that Americans really desperate to get out of the present situation of America.

the uncalled comments of mccain and palin has been one of the reason for this influx of donations. this is another miscalculation from the mccain camp.

That really shows the strength of Americans!! What a slap in the face for the hateful, deceitful, fascists Republicans! I have also donated a little bit at a time. This is great news for America. Let’s keep it up guys and God bless all of you!

i am a legal immigrant and has no say in this upcoming election. but as a neighbor and resident of this country, i felt obliged to our future and the future of this nation to give some donation to the obama camp. i am proud to have done that.

Yes, and he got $25 from me, too, and I also gave $25 to Matthew 25 network, Christians for Obama. HE is a good man, concerned about our shrinking middle class, and I am sick of all the hate that has been directed toward him.

Reuters/Zogby within 3 points. Money cannot buy elections ( ask Perot, Forbes,..). Hilary beat him in the mid west inspite of spending 4 to 1. Also some of these money is tainted coming from overseas drugs and terrorist connections…
Trying to cover up Rezko/Ayers/Wright/Farrakhan/Jesse Jackson/Drug habits/Smoking/Bitter americans/HIgher taxes/Socialist distribution of wealth/sitting with Iran/Venezuela without conditions/Against guns/against drilling/against nuclear power/against victory in Iraq…… will be his downfall

I wish he would direct his wealth to some good cause other than this meaningless t.v. advertising. I was totally desensitized by his commercials yesterday. There are simply to many of them.

Where did all of the money come from? Isn’t it important to know who is backing Obama? I am a Democrat and Obama supporter…but, I’d still like to know who is contributing so much to his campaign.
===
we are.. I gave $25.00

There will be a LOT more of that if he is elected!

Uhhhhhh…. see a pattern here?
Some of us aren’t so stupid to fall into this trap.
But the rest of you apparently are.
I’ll vote for real change instead.

I am far from rich, but God has blessed me with the resource I need to survive. I have donate consistently to Obama over the course of this election. And, I will give more if needed. I believe Obama, “That One” is “The One” who will be the best president for these troubling times. And, he is not a socialist!!!!!!! He is a realist, responding to the needs of real people. McCain wants a system where the rich get richer and the rest of us just hope they will share their crumbs with the rest of us. OBAMA/BIDEN O8 Yeah! Vote “THAT ONE”

Mr. Dark, you say you’re a woman, but it says “MR”!

Democrat Power:
Yes, you and your kind will be the downfall of this country.
P.S. I thought democrats were for education???

Gus,
Let use your logic for a moment to calculate how Obama gets 150 millions in a month.
$25 per voter.
Let’s say that 100 million voters are eligible.
Let’s say that 50% are supporters of Obama. That’s 50 million voters.
Let’s say that 2 million voters gave. That’s $50 millions. Where the other $100 millions come from?
Assumed that Obama campaign can process at the rate of 2 minutes per transaction. That’s total 21,600 transactions for the Sept. The total would be $540,000 for an average of $25
for $100 it would be $2,160,000.
To get $150,000,000, the contribution would have been $7,500 per individual. The laws limit contribution to $2,300.
I don’t know about you. In this time of financial crisis, I don’t have $7,500 to give away. If I do, I would violate the campaign laws.
Is it something fishy here to you?

I find it amazing that after 2 years of the most intense scrutiny and investigation, that turned up nothing wrong done by Obama, that people continue with the smear tactics and actually believe the trash being leveled at Obama. They demand the truth but obviously want their own truth, as the truth about Obama is already out there. These types of people will not accept the truth because it is not what they want to hear.
John McCain sold his soul to the extreme right, and endangered America with his choice of Sarah Palin.
I have sent $10 a week to The Obama Campaign since the end of the primaries, all I can afford but hopefully it will help bring America back to the people and not give it to McCain, whose own words, in his own book, states his desire for the presidency is Ambition only.

I decided to give more when I saw the negative campaign from RNC. They have to understand that they will not be able to dominate us ( ” We the people”). Times of corporate control are over.

If White voting McCain is racism, how about 92% of American Africans vote for Obama? Stop the racism speech. It is very normal to vote for own kind.

Obama will win North Carolina. EARLY VOTING RESULTS OVERWHELMINGLY FAVOR OBAMA! Across the state, Democrats showed the most first-day enthusiasm. Of the nearly 114,000 first-day voters, 64 percent were Democrats, 21 percent Republicans and 15 percent were unaffiliated.

Obama Depression.
Is that like OD-ing?

Rob,
Can you ask the Senator to provide:
1. His transcripts at Occidental.
2. His transcripts at Columbia and at least show some of his friends.
3. His thesis at Harvard. Any writing?
4. Any student loans records?
You knoe these colleges aren’t CHEAP!
Obama did not attend these colleges on scholarships.
Why doesn’t Obama provide the public with this info?
Something to hide? health record?

voter
….front line , a public access program has mentioned barracks sponser thru his school years as a saudi prince and the same prince made donations in amounts of a few million[s] to these same schools/colleges/law schools for one favor…….
seal barracks records !!!!!!

ok Mr/Ms Darky….figure this.
figure how many of us like me and your ma there are, then figure how many of you there are, you will find that WE old school outnumber new school by about 7 to 1….go figure.
ya ma is a smart women you should listen to her,she knows of she speaks and what we all know and one day you will too, it will be !
now… this isnt a country of opportunity, its a country of bigots, run by a racist,prejudice ignorant political machine that is controlled by the rich of the WORLD.

BLKm/45/iowa,
First of all, you have no data to speak of when making your 7 to 1 claim. Lame.
Second, if we were to follow your logic of more-people-think-this-way-than-it-must-be-true, the white majority that you so despise would be correct and you, my dear misguided soul, would be incorrect.
Don’t even try your inane arguments with me.
I took advantage of this great country and got educated. You should try it.

Yup.. and he got $10.00 from me. Best I could do with a mortgage, food, gas etc. The point is….150 million is not just from big donations, it can be from tiny, little donations like mine.
Posted by: jen | Oct 19, 2008 7:16:56 AM
You dummy! he needed $450.00 just to buy one dinner. What jerks you are Dummycrats.

“I lost my job because my company laid almost everyone off, I owe 200k in student loans, I have family to support, and we still managed to donate $400 to Obama.”
Umm … dude, you deserve to be poor. What an idiot.

I just gave Obama $2,600, too!

Mr. Dark,
This is the success story that the DEMS/LEFTIES do not want you to tell.
It’s going against everything that they believe.
You said it best. “I took advantage of this great country and got educated. You should try it.”
It the scacrest thing to them to have an educated “middle-class” voice!

“Barack Obama is the best leader America has after FDR and JFKennedy. Right man for the world in general and America in particular. There is now hope for real change all around.”
FDR’s economic policies needlessly prolonged the depression. JFK got us into the Vietnam war. Great job.
If you think Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Albright, Christopher, etc., are going to fundamentally change the way Washington works and that you are going to personally benefit, you are headed for a crushing disappointment.

Obama looks good on the $100 bill, lets put his picture there to remind us to use that money fairly. And lets make August 4th a federal holiday too, Obama’s birthday, we can call it HOPE day

Voter….its apparent this prince has also paid off most the news networks….
none will investigate…
and when someone does do the homework and they start the trace of the sponser back from his college years they too get bought off.

How much of that money will have to be returned due to credit card fraud? There is a multi-state investigation underway right now. People are opening up their credit card bills and finding donations they didn’t make to the Obama campaign. But Obama will quickly use the money on attack ads and the credit card companies will be left holding the bag after Obama steals the election.

REVOLUTION !
theresss going to be a revolution
well you knowwww
we all want to CHANGE the world

Not one of you foolish libs see that amo8unt of money as the number of hands that’ll have to be buttered? How foolish of you.

Gallop within 2 points, Zogby within 3 points. Money cannot buy elections ( ask Perot, Forbes,..). Hilary beat him in the mid west inspite of spending 4 to 1. Also some of these money is tainted coming from overseas drugs and terrorist connections…
Trying to cover up Rezko/Ayers/Wright/Farrakhan/Jesse Jackson/Drug habits/Smoking/Bitter americans/HIgher taxes/Socialist distribution of wealth/sitting with Iran/Venezuela without conditions/Against guns/against drilling/against nuclear power/against victory in Iraq…… will be his downfall

As a democrat that is uncertain, I can not swallow the huge amount of money flowing into the Sen. Obamas campaign. I would like to hear more about the foriegn money that has come into his election. As far as small donors giving up gas, food, etc. I DONT BUY THAT FOR ONE MINUTE. Ten dollars is alot to people in this economy. Lets be honest – WHERE IS ALL THE DONATION MONEY COMING FROM – MORE THAN ANYOTHER IN HISTORY??? As being realistic, I for one know that on January 1st a miracle will not happen when the POTUS – whoever it is, takes command. It will take a great deal of work – and investigations to unravel this mess. The sad part is everyone thinks believes the financial end of it will straighten out. No matter what – wasteful spending needs to be stopped on all levels – government and personal and it is a given if the new POTUS does not produce this miracle whoever it may be, the American public will not wait long before the cry of “impeachment” .God Bless us each and every one.

Bringing more wealth to middle America means more wealth and money going to our small towns and schools. Middle America spends its money where it lives and on what’s important to their families. Rich America spends its money on over seas investments, on international-based gains. Ask yourself where the money is best for America… in our schools teaching our kids, in the local economy re-building our roads and bridges, in our retirement plans so after 40 years of teaching, building roads and fixing clogged drains we can afford to retire OR to foreign investments where only 2 percent of the American public actually has a better life. A vote for Obama is a vote for the middle. A vote for Obama is a vote for our kids. A vote for Obama is a vote for middle America.

Rick, if you think that all middle American can become wealthy, I have a multi-level marketing scheme for you.
It just doesn’t work that way.
If EVERYONE gets rich, no one gets rich.
And what about the so-called “lower class”? What happens to them as Middle America rises so high?

“And what about the so-called ‘lower class’? What happens to them as Middle America rises so high?”
Everyone moves up. It’s Obamanomics or something.
I have to admit, I’m stunned by the naivete and gullibility of The One’s supporters. They’re childlike in their analysis.

This just goes to prove that “A fool and his money are soon parted”.
Obama will bring socialism. Here are some of my concerns about him:
Can you explain to me how he can give a “tax cut” to 95% of Americans, when 40% of Americans pay no taxes?
Can you address BO’s lack of support for Senate 2006 bill S. 190, which would have strengthened Fannie & Freddie oversight?
Can you dispute that BO voted against a bill that would have required medical care be given to viable infants?
Can you tell me why BO refuses to release his college transcripts? His medical records? Even his birth COLB? Detailed campaign contribution records? What possible reason can he have for this?
Can you reconcile BO’s claim that he is honest with the fact that he has misled us on his relationship with Ayers and the New Party?
Can you explain to me how BO can endorse commercials that claim that McCain wants war to last for another 100 years, when McCain’s statement, when taken in context, says nothing of that sort?
How about BO’s expectation that the surge would fail, and his extremely reluctant admission that it succeeded? Why can he not say “I was wrong”? How does that show “good judgment” and maturity on his part?

Lawrence,
“Would rather have a POTUS who earned his undergraduate degree in Poli Sci/International Relations at Columbia and later a Harvard Law degree than someone who graduated at the bottom of his class at the Naval academy who then selects a running mate with a degree in journalism. Obama worked for IBM; was a Civil Rights Attorney; Professor/Lecturer at U of Chicago in Constitutional Law 12 years; Illinois State senator 7 years; Illinois US senator 4 years and so on. ”
Can you ask Sen. Obama to provide:
1. Transcripts at Columbia and name some of his friends.
2. Havard’s works thesis, etc…
3. IBM’s records of employment.
Since you believe he is great, let other people like me see how great he is.
Will you help me with those questions?

In stark contrast to Sen. John McCain, Sen. Barak Obama has demonstrated the judgment, steadiness, intelligence, and grace under fire that we desperately need in our next president. I’m proud to a registered independent voter who has donated regularly to Obama’s campaign (I also gave $100 to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign).
Besides, McCain’s choice of Gov. Sarah Palin sealed my vote for Obama. There’s no way that she should be a heartbeat from the presidency.
I look forward to Election Day and, for the good of our country, I sincerely hope and pray that Obama/Biden win in a landslide!

I personally donated $200 in September, more than I could really afford. However, I felt I could better afford to part with that $200 than having Sarah Palin anywhere near the big red button.
I suspect many, many people donated for the same reason. Sarah Palin was a huge boon to Obama’s fund raising. After her speech at the convention the money just started pouring in.
This woman is totally unqualified and clearly a huge portion of the population is willing to part with their hard earned cash to prevent this abomination from winning.

Some of my European friends have asked me to vote for Obama. My question to them is “Which Obama would I be voting for – the one defined by his speeches, or the one defined by his actions?”
Speechmaker Obama has built his campaign on the promise of reform, the need to change the culture of American political life, to take on the special interests that undermine government’s effectiveness and erode the people’s trust.
Politician Obama rose through a Chicago machine that is notoriously the most corrupt in the country. Yet this angel of deliverance from the corrupt “old politics” behaved like an old-time Democratic politician when in Illinois. He refused repeatedly to side with those lonely voices that sought to challenge the old corrupt ways of the ruling party.
Speechmaker Obama says that he supports our troops.
Politician Obama voted to withhold vital funding from our troops even during the worst of the fighting. If we had followed his plan Iraq would have descended into genocide and America would have experienced a major military defeat. His list of ways young people might serve their country excludes enlistment in the military.
Speechmaker Obama claims to be a bipartisan healer. He speaks powerfully about the destructive politics of red and blue states.
Politician Obama has toed his party’s line more reliably than almost any other Democrat in US politics. He has a near-perfect record of voting with his side. He has the most solidly left-wing voting history in the Senate. His one act of bipartisanship, a bill co-sponsored by a Republican, was passed by unanimous voice vote. Unlike McCain, he has never challenged his party’s line on any significant issue.
Speechmaker Obama says that we “are our brother’s keeper”, and that the wealthy should willingly share with those less fortunate.
Politician Obama, whose 2007 income was $4.2 million and lives in a $1.6 million home, has a 26 year old half brother named George living in Hurma, Kenya. Obama mentions him in his autobiography and they have met twice. George lives in poverty in a hut measuring 6 by 9 feet, subsisting on about $12 per year. George could really use some help from his brother. Obama’s other relatives, including his paternal grandmother Sarah, are in similar situations.
It seems to me that when Obama says that we ought to be our brother’s keeper, what he really means is that we out to pay the government to be our brother’s keeper. That way we can allay our guilty feelings without getting our own hands dirty.
Speechmaker Obama talks a lot about finding ways to move beyond the divisive “culture wars” in America and the urgent need to establish consensus on the volatile issue of abortion.
Politician Obama’s support for abortion rights is the most extreme of any Democratic senator. In the Illinois legislature three times he refused to join Democrats and Republicans in supporting a Bill that would require doctors to provide medical care for babies who survived abortions. No one in the Senate – not even Hillary Clinton or the Edward Kennedy – opposed this same humane measure.
Speechmaker Obama loves America, but Politician Obama spent 20 years as a disciple of a pastor who urged God to damn America, rather than call on God to bless it.
Speechmaker Obama says that he respects John McCain’s service to our country.
Politician Obama endorses ads that ridicule McCain’s lack of computer skills, without mentioning that the reason McCain finds typing laborious is his severe torture induced injuries from Vietnam. These injuries prevent McCain from combing his own hair, tying his own shoes or typing quickly – but you won’t hear McCain asking for pity.
Here’s the real problem with Obama: the jarring gap between his claims of reform and civility versus his “old politics” status quo performance. There are just too many contradictions between the eloquent poetry of the man’s stirring rhetoric and his actual actions and accomplishments.
And we haven’t even mentioned Obama’s contradictory positions on campaign finance reform, FISA, NAFTA, capital punishment, guns, Iraq, the surge and offshore drilling.
It’s been remarked that the biggest difference between Americans and Europeans is religion: ignorant Americans cling to faith; enlightened Europeans embrace the liberating power of reason. But here’s the odd thing about this campaign. Those asking me to vote for Obama are asking me to take a leap of faith, to ignore empiricism and throw myself upon some wishful “hope” that the Obama of tomorrow is not the same as the Obama of the recent past.
The fact is that a vote for Obama demands a “suspension of dis-belief” – a willing adoption of the irrational, anti-empirical idea that the past holds no clues about the future, that promise is wholly detached from experience, that a leopard can indeed change his spots. Perhaps this is the second-greatest story ever told.

3.1 million plus campaign income?
an undisputable conclusion – - Obama supporters have done VERY WELL during those Bush years!
As for Palin, an election loss is really a win – she returns to Alaska, hunts, fishes & bails California out of it’s financial woes by annexing or buying it out-right :)

I believe that McCain-Palin with the rest of our ticket for reform best represents our best hope for America and are ready to serve our country. With your help and support, we can make this happen on November 4th. Stand with us now and join our team. We need your support, James Everitt http://www.johnmccain.com
I’m for lower taxes and smaller government, because lower taxes are better for families, property owners, and small businesses. With lower taxes, businesses have more money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate, promotes economic growth, and reduces unemployment.
And if we limit the scope of the federal government in accordance with the constitution, we decrease spending and reducing taxes, increasing our liberty in several ways:
(1) Liberty is increased when government is reduced to its essential and necessary functions, because there is no longer a role for lobbyists fighting to increase pork for their favorite non-essential, unnecessary programs.
(2) Liberty is increased when more government functions and decisions are handled at the state and local levels, closer to the American people.
(3) Liberty is increased when individual citizens have more responsibility and when government has less control.
(4) Limited government leads to lower taxes, and with lower taxes, liberty is increased because businesses have more of their own money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate and promotes job growth.
(5) Limited government leads to lower taxes, which is better for families and property owners. With lower taxes, liberty is increased because individuals and families have more of their own money – increased take-home pay – for their needs: food, clothing, housing, education, health insurance, and retirement.
(6) When people are able to provide for themselves, they are more likely to achieve prosperity and less dependent on government programs. In turn, this leads to further reduction in government spending, allowing the remaining money to be targeted to legitimate needs, such as military veterans, orphans, and people with severe disabilities.

“I look forward to Election Day and, for the good of our country, I sincerely hope and pray that Obama/Biden win in a landslide!”
Say they do. Then what? Aren’t you going to feel like a moron when n nothing changes for you?
Here’s the deal: The Democrats do not have your back. The Republicans do not have your back. YOU are responsible for how your life goes. The lie that Dems are “looking out for the little guy” is absurd. They are taking your money and laughing at you.
Look at the places where Dems and unions have traditionally run things, like the Rust Belt, Great Lakes states, and the Northeast. The Rockefellers and Kennedys are billionaires. The Big Three union bosses live like Saudi princes. But how have their constituents fare?

Where are the “slime under the rock, I hate my country” hacks commenting on this story? You know, throwing around idiotic comments like “yeah, i’m sure Tony Rezko gave $100M of that.” Come on guys, your “country” (as defined by John McCain and Sarah Palin) is counting on you.

Sarah Palin DOES indeed have excellent experience, AND that experience is at the Executive level. Obama does NOT!
His law degree from Harvard makes him a good lawyer (potentially, and debatable from my perspective as a Yale graduate).
Her experience in fighting corruption, fighting Big Oil, and running the USA’s largest state and the one closest to Russia, which is bordered ONLY by Canada, which has all interstate commerce being conducted across national borders or open seas, makes Sarah Palin the most experienced of the two.
But even MORE fascinating is that while McCain’s experience trumps that of Biden, and Palin’s trumps that of Obama, Palin is denigrated for being the choice of McCain.
Show me another woman who has accomplished so much in so little time, AND has done so while raising a family instead of foregoing parenthood or waiting until her children are raised.
I am a successful attorney who has 3 small children. I will NOT wait until my children are grown to be successful. I will NOT forego my opportunity to be a parent in order to be successful. Women as a whole will NOT be on the sidelines while men take in the glory of success at ANY times of their lives, while women WAIT until children are raised.
I praise Sarah Palin on what she has accomplished. I praise McCain for having the intelligence to choose a qualified woman as vice president. Yes, there are many others, and perhaps some who would be better qualified. But, as we all know, Obama was NOT willing to choose a qualified woman as VP, and that is why I will vote for McCain/Palin.
Not to mention, this will set up a Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton battle for 2012. At that time, I’ll be in a dilemma between voting for my former choice (Clinton) and my current one (Palin).

Your fear-monger attempt to scare women from voting for McCain/Palin is pitiful. Believe it or not, this country has a checks and balances system that prevents presidents from having ultimate power over ANYTHING, particularly Supreme Court appointments.
Did you bother to think about mentioning to your readers that Supreme Court nominees must be approved by legislative action before being appointed? Don’t you think that the current Democratic legislative power would keep that from happening?
I am a Yale-educated successful FEMALE attorney with 3 young children. I will NOT stand by while one ENORMOUS ISSUE is pushed aside by men (and women alike) intent on hiding behind fears. This country, in ALL of its history, has not once had a female president or vice president. It took over 200 years for a female, Geraldine Ferraro, to be placed on the ticket as a vice president. Women were told (by many men) to be afraid of her and the result was that the MAJORITY of women voted AGAINST her.
It took 24 more years, and entire generation, to get a woman on the ticket again! No, I do NOT agree with EVERYTHING Palin stands for, but neither did I agree with EVERYTHING Hillary stood for. But NOW is the time for a competent, hard-working, intelligent woman with integrity to be sent to Washington as President or, in this case, Vice President. I will NOT “wait” until 2016!
I would have voted for Hillary. I WILL vote for Palin. And in 2012, I expect a Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton battle for President, where the outcome guarantees that the larger half of this country’s gender will be represented once and for all!!!
I DO care about the issues. And this is one issue from which I will NOT back away!
McCain/Palin in 2008. Palin vs. Clinton in 2012.

It’s going to be so sad for all those contributors when Obama loses. Well, maybe the sting won’t be so bad for the ones who live in other countries, or the gazillionaires who are donating illegally, but all those little guys and gals that fell for Barack’s schmoozing, lying BS will certainly be having “renter’s remorse” after being tricked by this mac daddy.
Country First! McCain/Palin ’08

democratic,
Just for the discussion sake.
Don’t you wonder HOW Obama get all those donations? Are they legal?
And please debate the issues not BS.

BO doesn’t mind supporters maxing out credit cards to donate to his campaign. Oh, how very good for the health of our economy. Hey, Obama, thought you wanted people to live within their means…
Have any of you thought about how “left” this country will go with HDean, Pelosi, Reid, & Obama at the helm of the Dem Party? I mean, I’m an ardent Hillary supporter, but HRC is very centrist. She isn’t a crazy looney leftwinger. Leftwingers are just as bad for this country as crazy rightwingers have been. It is not healthy for this country to be controlled by one party, of either party.
In addition, our country will tolerate “right” wing policies for a longer duration than it will “left” wing policies, so if you BO lovers put him in, and the Dems control all three branches of GOV., don’t be surprised if we Dems turn over Congressional control the next election cycle.
A historian(can’t recall his name) stated our country has progessed the most when we had a Pres. of one party, and Congress of the opposing party.

Michelle..
Touche’
I wholeheartedly agree with you!

I’ll bet Mr. Will Good’s and Mr./Ms. Jklj;oi jkljkl’s credit cards are burning up….

Why hasn’t he closed the deal yet?

White voting for McCain is NOT racism. White voting for McCain just because the opposite candidate is black, IS racism. Similarly Black voting for Obama is NOT racism. Black voting for Obama just because he is black, IS racism.
I don’t know the exact figures, but something like 90-95% blacks always voted for democratic candidates (at least in the last few elections), even if the candidate is white. That means, only few more percentage of people are added because of racism. Similarly, if you look at the number of whites turning up for Obama, it indicates that majority of the whites are NOT racists either. There would always be few racists everywhere.
I wonder what Obama’s white mother would be feeling (if she is alive) and I wonder what Obama’s white grandmother would be feeling (and she is alive), when people branded him as black completely, rather than mixed race.
BTW, I am voting for Obama not because of his race (I am neither white nor black), but because of other reasons. I was a fan of McCain until 2-3 months back. I was frustrated with his negative tone and with his VP choice, which is very dangerous. He could have found a better woman or a better conservative as his VP pick.

Cheryl Walker, I’ll try to be kind. Do you realize that the ENTIRE pork spending last year was $17 billion? I’m not defending a dime of that but guess what ma’am, that is LESS than TWO months in Iraq. If McCain really cares about the budget, he’d focus on the things that matter. And so would you…

“What they fail to realize is that Barack campaign is a movement by the people who have been energized by his message and his desire to bring the “little man” into the political process. ”
What movement is this?
What message does it bring?
Who “little man” is this?
Is this the movement? “Spread the Wealth around…Joe”
Is this the message?
CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN
CHANGE WE NEED
YOU CAN BELIEVE IN CHANGE
WE NEED YOUR CHANGE IN YOUR POCKET
Is this the “little man”
Donate to my campaign whether or not you can afford food, gas, or medicines.
WOW! What a concept?
Thanks but NO thanks!
I KEEP my CHANGE!

I’m sure that having people like Oprah backing Obama isn’t hurting him. Talk about scare tactics… the media is trying to scare everyone. How many people do you know personally that have their home foreclosed recently? The stocks have dipped because the media scared everyone. If we hadn’t heard their sirens, it would just be another day for alot of us. They’re trying to scare us into voting for someone who has little to no experience and ties to radicals, excons, racists, etc. Think about it. It’s not rocket science.

Mr. McCain, I used to have respect for you though I didn’t always agree with your views. But I am appalled at how you have degenerated into a snarling nasty hate-filled lying grasping little man during this campaign. Americans have had it up to our eyeballs with all the nastiness and hatred. We need a BREAK and we don’t need another person like YOU in the White House again. You and your kind need to go away so we can make this country GREAT again. You just want the presidency so you can feel you have some kind of immortality, not so you can make a difference in the world. SHAME on you! You are blinded by unbridled ambition. Go away and take your horrible little pit bull with you!

Wow. Do you know what could be done with that 150million. Why not spread the wealth around? I could use a little of that!
Everyone knows darn well it’s not coming from the average joe supporter. Obama is big league with activists, Oprah, etc. THAT is where the money is coming from. They have such a desire to run the show through Obama they can’t even see straight right now. He’s their little sock puppet.

Collin Powell will regret one of these days!
I used to have high regard for the guy.
Now, it’s just another average joe trying to help the bro. out.
You stand on the principles not the colors. And you will be judged by the contents of your characters.
When Collin finds out Obama’s characters, he will regret his words.

Ok since McCain is challenging Obama. And Obama is sending the media and his lawyers after working Americans. This raises a good question. Who is Obama really for. Not the working American but for the party and himself. He speaks of helping the working man and then turns around and attacks the working man. Stop and think about it. This is pretty unusual change.

I’ve never given to a political campaign before and when Palin was announced, I was so outraged that I gave $500 to Obama.

It is a shame that people are losing their jobs and homes that Obama keeps hauling in all this money. Some would like to know where all of this is coming from. I gave to HC every month and I’m on a fix income. I have given a little time and money to McCain because he is someone I can really believe in. He has served our County very well for a number of years. Unlike Obama who has spent the last 2 years out of 3 running for President. Before that he was in Chicago’s pocket. If he truly cared about the down and out he would be like McCains nd send some of this to the citizens that are down and out – not to buying his way into the White House. As one person earlier stated – this will come down to race in the election booths. I have family down in the South and not one will be voting for Obama. I live up here in the North and I along with my family WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR Obama. Not just because he is Black but he is not ready for the job. Give him another 20 years then maybe. As a strong Democrat I have to agree with the statement that this GREAT county needs to have a President from one party and the Congress from another party. It is called Check and Balance. I don’t have a great Degree in Education but a fool should be able to see this if they would pay attention to our Government History. And yes, I’m a Democrat, a Hillary supporter – who is not a “sweetie”, a average white woman living on Social Security, a mother of 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren. My husband and I lived the great American Dream and hope that our grandchildren will be able to do so also. BUT if Obama is elected and the Democrats are electd with a majority may God have pity on all of us.

a couple of thoughts,1st.. 150 million dollars, I hope these people dont need energy assistance this winter or food stamps, Im a voter, but I cant afford to give, so I dont, wouldnt want to think these people are giving all this money that is really going to the TV big Wigs for all the advertisements, and then come january they are going to cry they need help, oh well tough..
2nd, why not Obama put his money where his mouth is.. give just 10 percent of that money which would be 15 million and give it to all the food banks help feed the hungry, he’d still be ahead of McCain with money raised, lets see him be the great one that he is so trying to be..isnt the saying “yes we Can” So do it give to the poor, start now”
and 3rd just remember Colin Powell endorsed Pres Brush and Channey, they had it on TV this morning how he said what a wonderful job they both will do, a powerful ticket he said…hahahha so please excuse me if his endorsement means nothing to me

What was Obama’s pledge to only use public campaign financing? He must have forgotten what he promised, just like he forgot so many other interesting things. Every time someone (like me) who is NOT for Obama brings up something like this, an Obama fan will (a) accuse us of racism, (b) accuse us of being mean and hateful, (c) try to convince us that things like this (integrity, truthfulness, honor, democracy, etc.) don’t really matter, or (d) hurl personal insults at us. It is shocking and amazing to me how blind this country is to what is going on in this election that is WRONG, and the conduct of Obama that is deceitful. He might win the election, but he will not get my vote, he will not get my support, and I will not follow him. I will not be surprised if, within two years, there is a nationwide movement to impeach him if he is elected. It will be led by all thiose who so blindly supported him durint this campaign, and they will try to find some way to blame it on McCain/Palin!

Obama agreed to Public financing,
then he found out that his “buddies” oversea can get him more through the internet, he CHANGED.
That’s CHANGE we can believe in.

“Is it something fishy here to you?”
Your result is based on guesses for amount ($25) and number of donors.
If you correct your calculation by using the actual average donation ($86) reported in the news, then the result of your calculation would actually exceed the reported total.

AnotherDemocratforMcCain,
I like your post.
The question you asked is ALSO on many people’s minds. However, the main stream media (so called MSM) will IGNORE anything that would appear to be NEGATIVE toward Obama.
The ONLY power we have left is behind the voting booth. I will cast mine and hope others will see through this and cast theirs, too.

To Concerned AMerican,
So, everyone who does not believe as you believe (“Don’t Question, Just BELIEVE!”) is blind. And has “diminished mental capacities.” And are “haters.” That’s quite the diagnosis, AMerican.
And, wanting to be good AMericans, some will believe your diagnosis, and want to be “cured.”
And some, in what you would call the denial stage, will vote against “the Church of Obama” (it really is that, based on the exact same principles of blind belief, hatred and/or pitying of non-believers and need to convert them, and the giving of one’s “widow’s mite)because you and your fellow congregants hammer at them incessantly and call them racist, stupid, and blind.
Then there are those of us who see things on both sides as they really are. You’ll not matter a whit after the elections, if they are held at all –the person above who talks about checks and balances needs to do a little research on the new laws Bush put in place in 2005 giving him imperial powers if he decides we’re “in danger.”
No, you won’t matter the tiniest bit. There will be no significant Changes, maybe just little ones to appease the little man. Maybe.
So, AMerican, you just keep giving your last dime to this. And know, that if all the money were taken and divided equally, inside a year the rich would be rich again, and the poor poor, because that’s the way real life and the economy work. The rich work to accumulate, the poor spend money for large TVs and whine about the rich who sold them. Try evaluating that fact into your “unconsumed” mind, before you deny it as against your beliefs.
Meanwhile, I’ll be waiting for that very special announcement about terrorist attacks on US soil, martial law, and Bush as President for Life.
On the off-chance it doesn’t happen, I’ll be voting as an independent thinker.
They do allow Leader Dogs into voting places, don’t they? And let’s hope I don’t have problems figuring out the voting process with my mental incapacities, and get hateful to the workers…

ka,
For an average of $86.00, it would come out to be less than $2,000,000 still way below the reported amount of $150,000,000. (seventy five times!) if it can process at 2 minute/transaction.

I’m a “middle-aged white guy”, and I sent the Obama campaign another $200 last month. It’s heartening … even overwhelming … to see how many other Americans recognize that Barack Obama will make an outstanding President of the United States. Obama/Biden ’08

From the Kansas City Star:
“Despite his age and previous health problems, McCain chose a vice presidential candidate who is so clearly unqualified for high office that the thought of her stepping into the presidency is frightening.
That irresponsible decision casts serious doubt on McCain’s judgment at this point in his political career. And over the past eight years, Americans have come to know, all too well, the high price of carelessness and ineptitude in the White House.”
Obama/Biden ’08

Palin turned out to be the best fundraising tool yet for Obama. She needs to take her hate speech back to Alaska and McCain needs to retire.

Obama looks good on the $100 bill, lets put his picture there to remind us to use that money fairly. And lets make August 4th a federal holiday too, Obama’s birthday, we can call it HOPE day
Posted by: AUGUST 4TH FOR HOPE DAY | Oct 19, 2008 10:00:09 A
From what I read about his collage days I think a $3.00 Bill would be fine

Democratis deffination of hate speech!
“America first”

This election has a clear sign that it is bought. Not by the small american doners, but it is by the out of country and foreigners, anti-america associations and potentially terrists, etc. Truth will be above the water! Don’t be so innocent. Obama refused to show anything relateds to his secret background and now there are lawsuits filed by voters ask him to show prove, including: his real birth certificate, his college rrecords, his medical records. He is hiding his secret of he is not a natual born citizen, he is stealing the election and fooling the american people, this is a huge threat and very dangours in the near future if Obama got elected. go to obamacrimes.com and check it out yourself.

We have heard Obama say over and over again that the people are suffering economically because of the last 8 years of Bush policies and that McCain agrees with Bush 95% of the time.
I have a question. How financially strapped is mainstreet if they can donate 150 million dollars to Obama’s campaign for the month of September alone? These are individual private sector donations not public or corporate.

FBI is running security and background checks on both candidates staff and cabinets. I wonder how many Obama people are going to disappear?

Does anyone else find it disturbing the amount of money Obama is raising and spending in these horrific economic times? He is buying this election…plain and simple. Mccain chose to stay limited to the 84 million in Fed funds so that clearly gives him a disadvantage…but it also shows me that Mccain is a man of good judgement…..and Obama doesn’t care how he throws money around….he wants to win at any cost. I do recall Obama clearly stating that he would adhere to the campaign financing limit of 84 million if Mccain did…lol…just another lie by Obama.

PLEASE READ THIS, IF YOU AGREE, COPY & PASTE & E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Below are a few lines from Obama’s books; In his words! From Dreams of My Father: ‘I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’ From Dreams of My Father: ‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’ From Dreams of My Father: ‘There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’ From Dreams of My Father: ‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.’ From Dreams of My Father: ‘I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.’ And FINALLY the Most Chilling one of ALL of them!!! From Audacity of Hope: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’ * If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don’t care whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, Independent, Liberal or Conservative. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President. PLEASE help spread the word.

If Obama wins we can count on as much socialism as he and the democratic congress can cram down our throats in 4 years. Hopefully it won’t be too much.
I’m also really concerned, based on the Obama’s campaign so far, that he will try to stamp down our 1st Amendment free speech rights. If he does try it, there will be hell to pay.

Follow the money. What will you find? Who’s looking into how Barack Obama is getting all this cash to buy the election? Why isn’t he way ahead in the polls if he’s outspending McCain by such a large margin? How do the poor souls of the middle class and underprivileged managing if they are giving mega-millions to the Obama campaign? Just a few questions that need investigating along with the cheating Democratic congress and ACORN. Americans are being hoodwinked by this man, Barack Obama.

John McCain tried to control Obama and the flow of money to the campaigns. He also wanted to control the flow of the debates. Obama saw this and denied McCain from having this advantage. Now seeing that his scam was undercut McCain is crying foul. There was only an agreement to talk about taking campaign finance and that was done, and Obama’s camp chooses not to. Obama’s financing is coming from small donors like myself. I have been giving 25$ a month, not a lot but there are millions of small donors like me. This somehow in McCain’s thought process is corrupt; I don’t understand how he can think this. It is a more honorable way to receive contributions, then to spread the wealth to your campaign from the government.

One Billion American Dollars!! That could have paid off a whole lot of those sub-prime mortgages for the poor. Shame on Barack Obama and the whole Democratic sham of a party. Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame.

I honestly feel sorry for those of you who have given your hard-earned $10 or $20 dollars (a month, even) to Obama’s campaign. Michelle Obama spent 20 or 30 months of your hard-earned donations in one day on room service when she ordered Iranaian champaign, steamed crab, and caviar toast points for her 4:00 p.m. “snack.” Wake up, you people have been duped.

Just proves that people don’t EARN the White House…They BUY it.

If Obama really believes that his plan for redistribution of wealth is good for America, he should begin with his own. And all these hundreds of millions he claims to have collected for his campaign of deception. Think of all the “good” he could do with all that money! Yet, he spends it on his own personal ambition. Another contradiction, another hypocritical position. This man is the Antichrist.

Flying Monkeys
We gave him the money to spend on his campaign, so it would be disappointing (and probably illegal) for him to NOT do so. It’s not HIS money.

Well Linda,
I have been trying to answer you but it keeps blocking my posts.
I will try in bits and pieces.
I am not sure what your point is about donations (and I am not sure its true, I have not verified) but candidates have no control over who donates, and can only act after the fact.
McCain has had to let go several campaign chairs and advisors, one of whom was linked to Hezbollah and another to the military junta in Myanmar.

IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll: Day Six
Posted: Saturday, October 18, 2008
Obama expanded his lead from 5.3 points to 7.4. Some gains appear to have come from likely voters earning $50k – $75k per year, who went from 54% favoring Obama over McCain to 57%. McCain continues to suffer from a relatively low level of support among Conservatives (64%) versus Obama’s support among Liberals (85%).
Obama/Biden ’08!

whiteygonapay
You are an obvious troll. Please if McCain can’t win without you and other supporters masquerading as someone you are not (no one under the age of 80 uses the word “whitey”) and making trashy comments designed to stoke hatred, then your candidate does not deserve to win (and he does not).

Dee Dee Lynn
You are right that no candidate has control over who donates but this is only one of many.Have you ever asked yourself why the likes of Ghadafi and Ahmed Yousef, who is the Prime Minister of Hamas would be proud of Obama and hopes he wins? Did you know that both Muslim coordinators, Mazen Asabi, who resigned in July and Minh Husaini, who just recently came under fire for meeting with Islamic extremists were hired by the Obama campaign? I am concerned that with all the others like Ayers etc. is a pattern that we the American people are being led to believe matters none.

This man is the Antichrist.
Not THE Antichrist, just AN Antichrist. And there are many of those.

Hey Dee Dee Lynn,
On page 261 of the “Audacity of Hope”, Obama wrote: “In the wake of 9/11…, I will stand with the [Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Now leave Trish alone.

Dee Dee Lynn
I hate to disappoint you but I’ve been a democrat for 35 years and I voted for Bill Clinton. I was a former Hillary supporter but as others, feel abandoned by the democratic party. The color of Obama’s skin has never played a part in my decision as to who I am voting for. It’s his associations which I detest.

Flying Monkeys: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were Bush, Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld. They nearly destroyed our great nation. Now it’s time to “turn the page” and begin to repair the damage they have done. Obama/Biden ’08!

To Sawrad
If you look at the poll numbers, they ask in the neighborhood of 950-1500 people their opinion. I live in Michigan and talk to many and the polls just don’t coincide.

Dee Dee Lynn
You’re talking to the wrong person if you think I’m going to defend the Bush administration. I believe George and Daddy Bush sleep with the Saudi’s.

Also Linda,
You said that if we were doing well, we had W. to thank.
I know of NO Democrat who thinks that George W. Bush has taken care of them the past 8 years. Most of us have lived this past 8 years as a nightmare.
So your rhetoric is inconsistent with your claim that you are a Dem.

Linda/Michigan
You talked to MORE than 1000 people? And was it a random sample?
Yes, polls are only small samples, and no single one should be given too much credit. But I would still rather be ahead than behind!

Dee Dee Lynn
Sorry that you don’t believe me but it is true. I supported Hillary moreso because I wanted Bill Clinton to come back to the White House in some way. We respected him and so did many leaders of the world. My heart just tells me that Obama is not the man that he is leading you to believe and even though you may elect him as President, his past truly concerns me.

Flying M,
Well you more or less admitted you don’t have the book.
I am giving my kids lunch, but in a minute, I will go look for my copy and find out if that quote is even there, and what it really says…

jock59801
No, I haven’t talked to 1000 people but this campaign has been going on forever and whether it’s at the store, bank, Dr.s office etc. everybody is talking about it. Not one person has ever brought up his race but all have brought up his associations.

Dee Dee,
Oh yes – I had a copy, but from the local library, as I refused to actually buy a copy and contribute to this liar’s wealth. I’m concerned that, if you actually read Obama’s “Audacity”, that you comprehended it. If you did read and comprehend it, you must agree with his statement of siding with the Muslims. Because if his books shocked you as much as they did me, you would feel as concerned about his possible presidency as I do.
America is in an Obama-induced trance.

DDlynn: The FEC is checking into Obama’s “list” because there are listings that are illegal…where have you been..

Here is even only a part of that paragraph, but its enough:
“(T)he stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Dee Dee Lynn
I have to go now but thanks for sharing your opinion but do me a favor, go to Thomas Sowell.com and read some of his articles about Obama. See I just don’t listen to the news or magazine articles. I try to access as many sources as I can on both candidates and then make my choice.

I am ashamed to say that I donated to Hillary’s campaign…she is just another lying politician..she said Obama was not qualified..Biden said he was not qualified and they both turn around and kiss his a$$! Just goes to show ya, politicians will sell their bodies to anyone just like a bunch of prostitutes and stick it up our a$$es in the meantime!

Linda,
Thomas Sowell is an extremely right wing economist and a fellow at the extremely right wing Hoover Institute (bastion of neo-conservatism and laissez-faire capitalism–you know, the kind where you don’t regulate businesses at all, the kind that created this big financial mess).
What he has to say about Obama is clouded by his own right-wing ideology.
He is not a credible source.

I am from Boston where the American Revolution began. For Palin to imply that we city people are not “pro American” or “patriotic” is a slap in the face to Paul Revere, Crispus Attucks, John Hancock, and Johh Adams. We also produced Kennedy, and William Lllyod Garrisson. MLK also went to school here. Go away Palin and take your racists monkey doll buying supporters with you.
BTW, I just gave more money to Obama and will give more when I get paid.
OBama/Biden’08

Dee Dee Lynn
Quit being eloquent. It confuses people. ;-)

You write:
“”Obama’s campaign says its September fundraising was fueled by 632,000 donors, giving the campaign a total of 3.1 million since launching early last year.”"
Okay. Where did the other 147Million come from? Really.
Please answer:
(1) Where all that money comes from?
(and why?)
(2) How come that BO can raise 150M and the DNCC gets a loan from the Bank of America for 15M to help the Repres. races? It makes no sense.
Is Obama only raising and spending all that money for himself?
How about the Democratic Party and all those House and Senate races ?
No help from Obama ?

There are questions concerning Obama’s contributions. Some were received under the name Jhgish hoshn from Anywhere, USA, Some had actual names and addresses but when they were investigated there were no such names and no such addresses.
One would assume that Obama’s contributions are being illegally obtained. Maybe coming from terrorist groups which endorsed Obama, like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Dee Dee, Linda, Jock Itch, and all others replying to my posts: I gotta go now. But I’ll see you all here again after the election. Just watch for The Flying Monkeys

After having two elections stolen from us which has forced us to endure 8 yrs of the worst president in the history of our country… Did you know that 3 million votes were not counted in a previous presidential election year.
3 MILLION!!!!Votes were NOT COUNTED!!!!
Of course americans are donating everything that they can to Senator Obama. It is small donors like me… I have only donated $200 all years but I had never donated before and that’s what I could afford.
But many people are persuaded to donate more to Senator Obama every time McCain/Palin lies, or his campaign makes a sleazy robocall or sends out a mailer full of lies and hate.
The online communities say
don’t get mad… donate!!!
That is why Senator Obama has raised so much money in September… it was because McCain/Palin and the RNC were so nasty that people dug deep and donated in response instead of feeling helpless, angry, and afraid…we donated!
The press really ought to write about this. The Minnesota congresswoman who stated that there should be a witch hunt to determine if congress persons were ‘pro-american or anti-american’ was so sickening to so many people online that they did the same thing for her opponent in this election. They donated and helped her opponent raise a half million dollars.
We donate in response to the lies and sleaze from the McCain/Palin camp and the RNC. They robocall lies… we donate again… or we volunteer…
We want our country back!! This election WILL NOT BE STOLEN!!
WE CAN WAIT FOR EVERY VOTE TO BE COUNTED IF THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO TRY TO MOVE PEOPLE TO PROVISIONAL BALLOTS FOR HAVING TYPOS IN BETWEEN THEIR VOTER REGISTRATIONS AN DMV RECORDS… THEN WE JUST WAIT AFTER ELECTION DAY UNTIL ALL THE VOTES ARE COUNTED BEFORE WE DECIDE WHO WON… EVEN IF IT TAKES TWO WEEKS…WE CAN WAIT UNTIL EVERY VOTE IS COUNTED.

Nod…
You raise a good point. Obama’s fundraising of $150 million only helps him. Once he opted out of public financing, all the money he raises goes to him, rather than to help down ticket dems. This was told to me from a NYorker, but it seems logical since, as you state, the DNC takes out a loan.
BO was concerned about his winning…nobody else’s.

I find it ironic that both McCain and Obama called Hillary to ask her advice on the home foreclosure crisis. Hillary has been out front on this for two years. McCain actually gives Hillary credit, Obama just takes Hillary’s ideas for his own.
Funny thing…BO tells the country to “live within your means”, but it’s fine to max out credit cards for my campaign.

all of this money is coming from Americans who are Obama’s supporters. McCain chose to use public funding and now he is stuck and almost broke. this record breaking fundraising tells you that American are ready for change.
And yes, the change is coming.

That is great that Obama has all of these funds- now he can spread it around like he says we should!! yeah right! It is really scary that everyone wants socialism and the government to control everything! That is what you will get with Obama- that is a plain fact! By the way, a lot of this funding is coming from the middle east- that is a fact as well :o(

Preface this to say..I am still an ardent Hillary supporter.
Have any of you Dems thought about how far left leaning the Dem Party will be with HDean, Pelosi, Reid, & Obama at the helm?? It’ll be as dangerous as the Republicans having all three branches. It is not wise to have complete control. I suspect the Dem Party will see much turnover the next election cycle if we allow the far left-wingers to push their agenda down the country’s throat.
Hillary is a moderate, but the Dem Party wants to go more left. Big mistake…this country will not tolerate far left-wingers for long.

I do think the spector of Sarah P helped Obama with contributions, but I wonder if we’ll ever know if, overall, for the McCain campaign, Sarah helped more, or hurt more. She did solidify the base, and energize the campaign.
Also, gotta say, on the economic crisis, I wonder where Tom Freeman’s head was, during the Roundtable today, when he was talking about people sending their children to pricey east coast colleges. He said that they may not be able to pay their child’s $20,000 tuition bill for the upcoming semester. “What will they [the colleges] do?” he asked.
ACCCKK! Maybe the parents can sell off one of their cars or homes and pay the bill after all? Or forego a vacation? Or maybe one of those colleges can tighten the belts a little also? Perspective, people.
There are parents and colleges hurting very badly these days, not knowing where else to cut without bleeding to death. Pricey east coast colleges and their non-financial-aid students aren’t generally among them.
Sorry, I know it’s off topic. But that comment irritated me so badly that I just had to get that out.

Dear Americans,
Are you wondering where the hell this huge amount of money came from?? Maybe, from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? Or perhaps, from the radical islams in the Middle East and Iran? Better watch out!! Obama will win for sure this election, but he will become a puppet of these left wing financers.

The poor are only screwing themselves by voting for a Democrat. Higher capital gains taxes = rich people’s money kept out of circulation, so decreased revenue. Higher corporate taxes = everything costs more, fewer people get hired and those who stay get fewer raises. Every class warfare policy designed to hurt the wealthy hurts the poor first. The rich just shelter their money. The poor are poor because they make bad decisions. Voting for the Dems is just one more bad decision that ensures they will remain poor.

Pull your head out, I think you have your head up in the GOP backside. Trickle down economics don’t work well for the economy. Reagan proved it, Bush 1 proved it, and now Bush 2 has proven it once again. It’s time for some trickle UP economics. Give the middle class tax breaks, they spend more money, economy gets better. No more corporate welfare!

Raymond, this huge amount of money comes from people like me. I’ve donated a total of $250, a little at a time. Obama has over a million donors giving him donations every month. We are tired of Republicans and want them out. I willing to spend my money on a noble cause.

The McCain campaign is seeking to clarify a remark reported from a Sarah Palin fundraiser in North Carolina yesterday in which the Alaska Governor declared that she loved to visit the “pro-America” areas of the country — implying, implicitly, that there were some parts of the United States she viewed as not pro-America.
________________
This woman maliciously and falsely defiles and debases the sacrifices of all of those brave young men and women who fought and died in the service of this nation. Where are those areas of the country that are not “pro-American?”
Have these people completely abandoned all sense of decency in their maniacal pursuit of the White House? I, as one who is a new American, am deeply repulsed by these revolting attacks that have no basis in fact or morality. This does not represent the America I read about as a child.

To Dee Dee Lynn,
You said, “I don’t know ONE single Democrat, Hillary supporter or otherwise, who is not going to vote for Obama.
“Given the number of Democrats all over the country I know, I would know someone who was still holding out if that were really a significant portion or even a measurable number of Dems.
It took some of them a while, but they have all come around.”
You know every single Democrat. Or are you going by the six-degrees-of-separation method where you and other Obamites closely monitor each other and friends to catch someone “not with the program”?
I would have voted for Hillary in a heartbeat. I understand that all the posturing and accusations during her battle with Obama are simply political rhetoric, and her swift turnaround from “he’s incompetent” to “he’s what America needs” after her defeat is just party bull, just like on the Republican side, happens every four years, but she still would have served the country well. Obama, on the other hand, is using “fear of” every minute of every commercial, just far more subtly than his opponent. This is one Democrat you don’t know.
Can I expect a visit from a group who will “bring me around”? Pressure and threats, definitely behind the scenes and which will never be investigated, as that would be considered racist, are a huge part of the Obamite way of life.
And I’m seriously disappointed in Powell. HIM I would have voted for, because he had integrity. But I guess, again, he made the wrong decision, as he did with Bush. There wasn’t any reason for him to back either party. Wonder why he did it? Maybe a chunk of a single month’s take?
Both sides are corrupt, no politician is going to do anything to jeopardize his or her career, and each will say whatever they have to in order to win.
“If you want to dine with the classes, you have to sell to the masses.” That’s all that’s happening, folks. Deal with it.

Sen. Obama, experience matters. I have made many mistakes in my short life. It is true, when I think about it, that each of those mistakes are among my greatest assets with respect to decision making, each and every one of them. This is because we all learn from our mistakes. At all times, I believe the best of my judgment is anchored in the cement that is my experience. I believe firmly that the longer I live, the more I will have experienced, and the better my judgment will be, on the balance. Sen. Obama, do you really believe that you have made enough mistakes to be the next President of the United States? I respect your ambition. I respect your charisma. I embrace your place in history, but I do not believe you have sufficient experience to lead this planet, not even close.
America, since the mainstream media has failed to examine Sen. Obama’s experience and lack of experience, you will have to determine for yourselves what exactly is Sen. Obama’s experience? What did he accomplish in the Illinois legislature? He was only there for a handful of years. What did he promise he would accomplish? What did he accomplish in the U.S. Senate? He has only been on the job as a U.S. Senator for 1xx days. What did he promise he would accomplish? What has he changed in this world? This country? The Presidency of the United States is an executive position Sen. Obama. Do you have any executive experience? Have you created a budget, negotiated a budget, revised a budget or managed adherence to a budget?
Sen. Obama insists on presenting Sen. McCain’s experience as being only an puppet of the Bush administration. I saw Senator McCain stand up to President Bush’s Defense Secretary. He stood in a manner that no other did. He changed the course of the war in Iraq. What percentage of all GOP legislative votes sided with President Bush’s? What percentage of all Democrat legislative votes sided with Presidents Clinton, Carter and Johnson’s policies? I have no idea, but I’d venture to guess that, had the media presented that information to the American public, we’d find rank and file partisanship throughout our recent history. How many Americans would be surprise by that?
Well Senator Obama, you might be able to claim that you did not support the Iraq war resolution, but what can you offer as proof that it was the right decision at that moment in our history? You were after all in the small minority. Our country was after all reeling from the worst terror attack in our nation’s history. How would history have judged President Bush had he not led our troops into Iraq and then, a massive terror attack occurred yesterday, perpetrated by terrorists that lived and trained in Iraq over the past few years, with or without knowledge of Saddam Hussein? I think about it this way: history failed to present enough evidence to push the World to coalesce and intervene in 1930s Europe. But modern history is 100% clear on that point, it would have been the correct decision. History might well judge the Iraq war to be not a right decision. History will judge the Bush administration on many points. One of those may even record it, in part, as a series of lapses in the judgment of a young President, swayed by the belief and conviction of an older, seasoned Vice President and the overwhelming circumstances of a world that had changed dramatically, in an instant. I agree with you Sen. Obama that we don’t need another eight years of the Bush Administration, we dont need another eight years of an inexperienced President.
Mr. Gibson, Ms. Couric, Ms. Behar, Ms. Mitchell … you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You and your colleagues might think you have the power to micro-filter democracy’s messages to your liking, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You might think you have the power to subtly, and not so subtly promote and gather others to blindly promote one candidacy, while casting another in the least flattering manner possible, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You do not get to dismantle America’s vote. The mainstream media bias in this election is at best described as repugnant and at worst, a slap to the face of democracy; an assault on the moral and righteous ideal that all American voters should be free to construct their vote on the basis of readily available, factually complete, accurate, relevant and unbiased fact. It is my opinion that, during this election cycle more than any other I have witnessed, the mainstream media has failed millions of American’s who rely on them, as a basis for constructing their vote. Am I wrong? I might be wrong, but I’ll ask you, the American voters to decide that for yourself, by asking yourself some questions. Questions such as why was so much time spent this election cycle mining for dirt in Alaska, why was so little time was spent tracking laundry in Illinois? Why has the mainstream media spent so little time illuminating the razor thin experience that the junior Senator from Illinois maintains as his credentials? Indeed, if the media was prepared to be fair and honest, they would have been able to report, with incontrovertible confidence, that they were reporting fact, that the candidate having the most experience directly relevant to the position of the Presidency of the United States is actually the candidate that has been relentlessly attacked by the media, both personally and professionally. The mainstream media owes an apology to American Democracy for its treatment of Gov. Palin. Why is it, that after finally deciding to give minimal airtime to the ACORN voter registration fraud issue, was it not mentioned that Sen. Obama’s campaign funded ACORN? Sen. Obama, in my mind, there is no distinction between committing voter registration fraud, serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud or funding those serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud. During the last debate, you did a fine job of distancing yourself from ACORN, but you failed to directly confront and condemn those that perpetrate or encourage voter registration fraud. You had a nationwide audience, and you chose not to act.
The President is the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces. That is a serious responsibility. I question how you can expect us to believe that you will effectively maintain the moral, skill and competence of our forces after you have insulted them. What will serve as your experiential basis for leading the U.S. Military? Do you have any military experience at all? Have you ever served in ROTC? Do you know firsthand the horrors of war? I believe that firsthand knowledge and experience is the most critical element one can use in formulating decisions, including the determination of when to and when not to deploy U.S. Military forces. Sen. McCain has that experience. That I know. That he has shown. The media can’t take that away from him.
With regard to foreign policy experience, do you think you are qualified to navigate the most powerful democracy the world knows during a time when the fundamentals of democracy are very much under attack? Are you ready to face Mr. Putin? Mr. Chavez? Kim Jung Ill? China? Iran? Are you ready to answer the 03:00 phone call? What experience do you have that I should judge gives you readiness? What is that experience? What foreign leaders have you negotiated with directly? What treaties have you signed? The media has presented none and neither have you. I have a good number of stamps in my passport Sen. Obama. I lived and worked in Germany for a brief period. Sen. Obama, I am not qualified by a longshot to make United States foreign policy, and you may only be marginally more qualified than I.
The oratorical is no substitute for judgment or experience Senator Obama. I do not believe that you have the experience to be President of our country. Experience matters Sen. Obama, and you are not ready, you have not made enough mistakes. But most glaring to me, Senator Obama is the one mistake that you seem willing to make over and over and it is the worst mistake one can make. That mistake is the action of not owning one’s mistakes.
Sen. Obama, you claim that you will cut taxes on 95% of all Americans. Is that true? Or let me rephrase, how can that be true? You told the voters of Illinois that you would cut taxes, but you have failed to do so in the U.S. Senate. Did you even try? Did you present a bill? Were it a committee issue did you encourage your peers to present one? Have you ever voted for a tax cut? What did you mean Senator Obama when you told Plumber Joe that you wanted to spread the wealth? Do you mean that you want to take money from Joe and give it to those with less money? Your running mate, Sen. Biden has commented that you would not be taxing additionaly those making under $250,000 a year. Sen. Biden commented that he knows no plumbers that make over $250,000 a year. I think that those who claim your tax policies embody class warfare are wrong. Wrong, because the policies are class warfare policies, but they are not directed against the haves, they are directed against the have-nots. Senator Biden, you may well be correct that few plumbers earn over $250,000 a year, but some that own plumbing contracting businesses probably do. What do those that spin your message have planned to say to that one plumber out of maybe six or seven that was employed by a plumbing company, but was laid off, because business is slow, new homes weren’t being built and President Obama’s tax increase forced the owner of the plumbing business to lay her off? The owner tried every angle possible, but was forced to make a tough decision. They were faced with the prospect of either making a tough decision or risk running the entire operation into financial distress and end up having to close operations and fire all workers? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell her that, even though she has no job, she does at least still have affordable healthcare? Senator Obama what will you say to the unemployed plumber in Ohio, father of two, that nearly had a job secured, the owner had just signed a good contract for a small building and he was ready to hire that plumber, but learned from his accountant, that Senator Obama’s tax increase has made it not possible to hire another employee? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell that plumber, that even though he still has no job, he does have a lower tax burden
Sen. Obama, you have stated over and over that Sen. McCain supports tax breaks for corporations that send their jobs overseas. The media has not reported on this one way or another, but if you are correct, then I commend Sen. McCain for doing so. What you don’t get, Sen. Obama, or perhaps don’t want the American public to get, is that income taxes, to a for profit enterprise are expenses not much different from the costs of raw materials and salary expenses for purposes of this discussion. All else equal, ladies and gentleman, a corporation will locate itself, and its jobs, or begin to locate itself and its jobs, in areas where it is least penalized in terms of taxes. This is how for profit American corporations behave and this is how they must behave. Their competitors are operating in that manner, continually scouring expenses to search for reduction opportunities. They have to. If they do not, they will be at a cost disadvantage and if their tactical errors are sustained, they may well go out of business in which case, even those jobs which remain in the United States, could also disappear. Even if the company does not fail entirely, some jobs may be eliminated, and chances are great that the highest cost jobs would be targeted first. Sen. Obama, America is not a low cost country, in these circumstances, they would be targeted first, all else equal. When those jobs are cut Sen. Obama, those new unemployed will not have money to support the ‘under $250k’ crowd…they won’t have money to support small businesses…is it sinking in at all?
Your position of not supporting tax breaks for corporations that export jobs overseas, indeed, only encourages them, at the margin, to further export jobs, or slow their job creation in the United States or end their job creation in the United States. This is global economic reality. The media can not distort this fact for you. At the final debate, I heard you add a carrot to your plans. You pulled that same tax string attached to the back of your head and out came the message you think the voters want to hear. If I got it correct, you’ll give tax credits to corporations that create jobs in America. In case you don’t know Senator Obama, this already happens today at the state and local level all across America. Have you thought about how much additionaly, it will cost the U.S. Treasury to employ workers, in an audit fashion, in order to verify which of all the xx million jobs that corporations claim they created actually exist? What are the time constraints? How long must they keep the job filled in order to receive the credit? What would happen when that time passes? Let me get this correct, you want to first keep tax rates on corporations high or raise them – thereby encouraging employers large and small to export their operations and jobs – and then at the same time you want to turnaround and give them a tax credit? You do realize that they are policy opposites don’t you? It looks to me that you might be trying to convince us that it would be a good idea to spend more on government for an unknown expected net job increase. If you can convince us of that Senator Obama, I’d suggest you also try to sell us a bridge to nowhere. Your tax policy is bigger government, bigger IRS, more regulatory burden on American Corporations and more administrative overhead makes them less competitive in the global market and less likely to employ. It is not the right policy Senator Obama.
Go back to the Senate and accomplish something Sen. Obama. Your candidacy is an insult to America.
oh and ps, the verdict has been in for decades on the effectiveness of spreading the wealth policies. Go visit an American Indian Reservation Sen. Obama. The only thing that has changed for the past several decades is the faces of the Washington politicians that have redistributed wealth to us. Do you have any clue what the average unemployment rate is in Indian Country Sen.Obama? Illicit drug use rate? Teen pregnancy rate? Pick a rate
Senator.

MORE McCAIN HYPOCRISY and the DEMOCRATS DON’T RESPOND WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CHALLENGE GOP HYPOCRISY.
Republicans have been providing tax-breaks and tax cuts for the rich individuals and corporations since Ronald Reagan’s “Trickle down” economics. The benefits were supposed to reach the middle class and it never did; at least not the impact we had hoped. But Republicans never called this SOCIALISM FOR THE RICH!
Now Senator Obama & Biden advocates tax-cuts for the middle-class and for those making less than $250,000.00; while McSame calls this SOCIALISM! This is McSame HYPOCRISY to the highest levels.
GOD Bless the United States of America!
GOD Bless the Leadership of Obama-Biden Team!

He has been raising big money from the start. Where is all this money going? Who is benefitting from it? Although he spends more than McCain, it still seems the money coming in far exceeds the money going out. I’m always suspicious of people with too much of other people’s money,

“It’s time for some trickle UP economics. Give the middle class tax breaks, they spend more money, economy gets better. No more corporate welfare!”
Spoken like a typical poor person. And you will likely die poor because you are an idiot. I wish it weren’t so, but it is.
The keys to success in this country are simple: Stay off drugs and alcohol, don’t have kids before you’re ready, and take responsibility for your own education and job skill set.
Follow these simple rules, and the streets of America are practically paved with gold. Fail to follow these simple rules, and you just made your life far more difficult than it needed it to be. Throw in some adverse circumstances, and you will probably fail.
No one wants to hear hard truths, but failure in the U.S. is generally caused by bad decision making. Neither Obama nor the Democrats — or McCain or the GOP for that matter — can help you with that.
Don’t be an pawn. No one in the government is looking out for you. The Republicans are incompetent and judgmental, but you can succeed as an individual in their system. The Dems are using you and laughing at you, and you cannot get ahead in a system that steals from you constantly as you climb the ladder.
Hence my handle: Pull your head out.

The media fails to check into the claims that Obama gets a lot of money from overseas.
Instead the media rather spend their time trying to find something negative about Joe the Plumber.
With Obama as president and Polsie, Reed, along with the democrats controlling both the house and senate America will really change. Capitalism to Socialism.

150 Million… I question his objectivity if he gets elected. 150 Million is a lot of money to accept.
I don’t trust a climate study funded by EXXON and I don’t trust this presidential candidate.

Obama is able to raise so much money, because his campaign made a really smart move by using the INTERNET to reach out to MORE PEOPLE, and people can give their supports.
This is exactly the way our Founding Father intended our government to be: “For the people, and by the people”
I’m a college student, a first time voter, and I’m proud to say that I’m one of the hundred thousands of new donors for the Obama Campaign.
I’ve donated $30 dollars in Sept, and I’ve just donated $50 dollars in Oct. That’s about 2 weeks worth of gas for my car, but for the future of this great nation, it’s MORE than worth it!
I find it silly how the McCain campaign is out saying, “Obama is trying to buy the presidency”…
No, John McCain… it’s THE PEOPLE who have spoken, and WE THE PEOPLE have had enough of Republicans screwing up this great nation for the last 8 years, and WE THE PEOPLE are taking the country back!

RCP polls indicate that Obama’s support is falling quickly.
Have faith fellow Americans. Good will triumph over evil. John McCain will triumph over Nobama.
Blacks have shown themselves to be racists in this elections. They are behaving like trash.
Voters have come to realize that it is too dangerous and divisive to put a muslim man in the White House.
Fellow voters lets kick Obama’s black @ss back to Kenya this November.

No one cares he went back on his word about taking the public finance. And then they believe him when he says he is not raising our taxes. As far as Powell, I think this is the same man who was a character witness for Stephens in Alaska last week plus he gave the max to McCain campaign. It is because of race that powell did it. Wake up stop drinking the kool-aid.

Isn’t it sad the very people he is getting ready to screw big time are the very one who is giving to him. WE are so naive. Remember George Bush he was inexperienced to look what that got us.

History will be made with Sarah Palin as VP and not a muslim man who is antisemitic in the White House.
Those who fear a Hussein Muhammad Obama Presidency should come out an vote for John McCain and get their families and friends to do so as well.
Pray too that a muslim man does not become President of this nation.

If the only thing America can offer is McCain/Palin after the misadventure of Bush/Cheney,then we are doomed for life. I can see China, Russia, India and even Zimbabwe laughing at us, but than God for BARACK OBAMA. I can now look up with dignity and pride.

Mcsame and his campaign have gone too crazy and off limits when calling part of US unAmerican or not real when they are behind in polls there, this is stupid and devisive and breaks American heart.
Mccain’s brother is crazier when he says Arlington,Va county where Mccain has studied and bought one of his seven houses there as communist county.
Mcsame I have news for you, you do not deserve my vote when you are insulting me and my county, I am conservative republican will vote for Obama to punish you and your weak and erratic response to our biggest financial crisis.

Michele Bachmanm (R), Minnesota,called “Liberals” anti-American. If you don’t believe me google MSNBC Chris Matthews, Michele Bachmann video

George Soros and the Hollywood elite have bought the most Liberal Leftist their money could buy. But it still is not VOTES! Unless ACORN can deliver…

Wow – so many sour grapes in these comments… I contributed $25 to Obama a while back and $50 this month – the first time I contributed to anyone. It’s amazing how many people support him – goes to show how MANY INDIVIDUALS can overcome the FEW who have supported the Republicans. Wonder if any of these “base dregs” contributed to McCain or if they just let the rich ones do it – they sound like whining babies banging on highchairs – I suppose their bitter because they’re clique is about to get washed away and none of the rich Bushies money will trickle down to them.

If McCain raised $150 million dollars many of you would be praising the Lord for Sara Palin and attributing the windfall to her greatness.
However, Obama campaign raises this amount of money and you deem it to be suspicious, it certainly could not be a reflection of having greater support than McCain.
Whatever happened to that Lady Godiva or whatever her name who abandoned Hillary to support McCain?
Your money follows your heart.
I heart Obama/Biden, as do many others.

Is it true that Obama owes his entire career to a fraudulent organization like ACORN?

What do you know about ACORN?

Raymond says :
Dear Americans,
Are you wondering where the hell this huge amount of money came from?? Maybe, from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? Or perhaps, from the radical islams in the Middle East and Iran? Better watch out!! Obama will win for sure this election, but he will become a puppet of these left wing financers.
Dear Raymond :
Senator Obama’s donations come from people like me, that after listening comments like yours, reminds me that I have to keep on donating !!!
I have donated more than I can afford already, and I will immediately donate$ 100 more to the Obama Camp !
Obama/Biden 08 !!!

It is amazing that this man who has such contempt for small town Americans can pull off the biggest hype of all. He is an elitest who has had the best education but only disdain for rural America. He can not relate to mainstreet America middleclass but his rhetoric he believes to be bought by the gullible. Their planning of a huge party of caviar champange etc. is what he is used to and shows he has no common ground with the mainstream.

America: don’t let Obama DECEIVE you. You will regret his elections, when QUOTAS, REDISTRIBUTION of wealth, hit full force. Send Obama back to Ayer’s apartment where he came from and let this be just a bad dream.
Vote McCain 2008!

So, it’s true when Bush said our fundamental economy is strong,huh!
You people still have money to burn for his ads.

Obama is a fraud! Don’t let your hate for Bush blind you. Have the courage to see Obama for what he is: a friend of black racists like Rev Wright and Terrorists like Ayers! Liberals, what don’t you get about this? Do you want Ayers walking the Oval office with Obama?

PBS this afternoon aired about both candidates’ journey from their beginning of campaign until now.
It’s very interesting.
How Obama played hard ball to his opponents.
McCain disagreements with Bush etc

Gregh: Good point. There is no way americans are giving $150 million in one month to Obama considering the current crisis. This money smells all the way to the Middle East, Chavez, Osama, etc. But the investigative reporters have all fallen asleep on the job. There are no good reporters left that have not been bought by Obama. But the voters can still send Obama back to Ayer’s apartment where he come out from.
Vote McCain 2008!

What do you know about ACORN?
ABC news tonight showed one young black woman on probation ,she was one of ex worker for ACORN .
She told ABC news everything about voting frauds.
ACORN recruited kids , unregistered voters etc.
Can you believe that?

Campaign manager David Plouffe, in an e-mail to supporters Sunday morning, said the campaign had added 632,000 new donors in September, for a total of 3.1 million contributors to the campaign. He said the average donation was $86.
It’s not coming from some mysterious place, it’s coming from regular people, Americans who want a change from the mess we are in here and abroad. Someone to inspire the best in us not pander to the worst.

Republican trolls given their talking points for this week. They are trying to float:
Secret Michelle Obama tapes with Odinga being held hostage by a Kenyan national until a major network offers to pay, air it in full and refuses to license it to anyone else…
Bill Clinton will be endorsing McCain…
Ayers secretly babysat Obama’s kids (to go national and cause MAJOR DAMAGE this week)…
A former PLO member turned Christian convert saying Obama is really Muslim…
Powell’s a closet Muslim and will be changing his name soon…
These are the talking points for Republicans this week. Be Aware!
‘Course one does wonder how much more stupid Republicans can become. Amazing how the only thing Republicans know is how to parrot their given talking points. Evident by those bloggers here.

“Because of [Obama's] ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of this campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities — we have to take that into account — as well as his substance — he has both style and substance — he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president,” Powell said.
this is reason why Americans support Obama. He fight for the struggle americans instead of Hugh corporation. New plan, new way, and fresh idea is what’s needed for this country.

The Arabs and muslims have given much of their oil money to ensure an Obama win in this election.
Arabs and muslims or the liberal elite news media don’t influence this election.
Americans determine the outcome of this election and they have made their choice.
John McCain will be the next President.
GOD bless America.

speedy_453 – goes to show how much you know. People who have never donated to a political campaign before are donating money for the first time to Senator Obama – includng me. People who have never voted before are registering to vote so they can vote for Senator Obama. Scary for you, isn’t it! :)

Michelle says :
Get used to giving your money to Obama.
There will be a LOT more of that if he is elected!
HAPPILY !!!!!!
BUSH HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY AND MCCAIN WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME !!!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08 !!!

PALIN/ (mccain)…….CLEAR BRIDGE TO 4 MORE YEARS OF TRAGEDY !!!!!

If Obama has 3.1 million repeat donors willing to give money repeatedly then this nation, then American economy is not as bad as Obama think it is.
Obama is bending campaign finance rules, this is the biggest scam since the dot com bust.

Who’s that guy on the new $100?
He doesn’t look like all the other “dollar bill guys.”
BHO and his supporters are the only side that have brought up the race card. Liberals/socialists have had 40+ years to practice it. And by golly, they are about to scam Americans into third-worldism.
Open your eyes people, BHO is saying whatever it takes to get elected. Or in his case, the abundance of what he doesn’t say. Only occasionally do his real ideas slip out, usually when he is thinking on his feet, or in a hurry.

I have heard that foreign nationals are sending money using addresses of people that they know in the US. Also, many people are sending multiple donations of less than $200 so the Obama Machine does not have to disclose the source.
I agree – if so many Americans are giving so much money to Obama – then the economy must be better than we thought.
If Marxist Obama – the biggest hypocrite in American politics – feels that bad about “poor Americans” perhaps he should donate the $150 million or portion of it to food banks across America, instead of spending it in stupid ads and on purchasing prime TV time (Oct. 29th) to promote his “Big Ego”.
Oh! I know… he is already giving us a preview of his future “spending patterns” …

Rob,
Can you ask the Senator to provide:
1. His transcripts at Occidental.
2. His transcripts at Columbia and at least show some of his friends.
3. His thesis at Harvard. Any writing?
4. Any student loans records?
You knoe these colleges aren’t CHEAP!
Obama did not attend these colleges on scholarships.
Why doesn’t Obama provide the public with this info?
Something to hide? health record?

You are asking too many questions my friend… Barack Obama is above any suspision. How many questions do you think Carl Marx ever answered?
CNN reported last week that McCain has released ALL his medical records. Obama has refused to do so. He has only released an one page “Doctor’s note” that says that he is in good health. (like those notes kids bring to school when they are out sick ..)
The pathetic left-wing-liberal media has talked again and again about Senator McCain and his wife’s medical health issues. Why media Morons are not digging to Barack Obama’s refusal to release ALL his medical records?
What? Is he mentally ill and trying to hide it???!!!
The media and the Obama campaign operatives were bitching about Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin to release their tax returns…. But the same Morons have not once questioned why Obama is not releasing the information you have asked in your comment, especially his medical records.
Have we seen his Birth Certificate yet?

I’m 60 and my $50 was the first ever contribution to a Democrat or Republican. I used to say the Republicans had no heart and the Democrats had no brains, but I was only half right.

Dont believe that Obama is raising huge amounts for regular Americans.
Obama is probably using foreign money, bypassing campaign finance rules.
There is no way Americans are contributing in this way to Obama considering the state of the economy.

As I have said before, I’m a college student, a first time voter, and proud to say that this is the first time I’ve contributed to a Presidential election.
I’ve donated $30 dollars in Sept, and $50 in Oct. That’s 2 week worth of gas money for my car, but it’s a small investment for the FUTURE of this great nation.
The Obama’s campaign made a BRILLIANT decision in using the INTERNET to reach out to the YOUNGER people — something that has NOT been doned in the past.
This goes to show that Obama is very intelligent and is intouch with the modern era and the people. He’s EXACTLY the type of President that the USA needs in order to continue to be the #1 nation in the world.

50 million people x $3 = $ 150 million dollars!

Obama haters:
50 million people voted Democrats in 2,000!
If: 50 millions people donated, each donate $3 = $150 million!
If: 25 millions people donated, each donate $6 = $150 million!
If: 10 millions people donated, each donate $15 = $150 million!

I donated $30 in sept (1/3 a tank of gas for my car)!

Why do people keep repeating these ridiculous stories? “Obama has never produced his birth certificate!!!” “He didn’t get any college scholarships!!!” (Actually, he also got a scholarship to go to a private high school, before he even got to college.) Please just stop it. You can type it a thousand times, until your fingers fall off, and nobody is going to believe it.
There are about 72 million registered Democrats. We’ve all got a hundred dollars. If each one gave just a hundred dollars, the total would be 7 billion, 200 million dollars.
And we’re giving the money to Obama because electing him is our first priority.

My grandparents told me it takes money to make money well President Obama you better damn deliver cause in 2010 your buddies in congress may be a part of soon to 8-10% unemployment rate that is about to hit this nation.
Spend our money wisely my friend.

Pull your head out: M. Dowd wrote an article in June demanding an investigation be done into BO’s internet fundraising activities.

THIS IS TOTALLY FALSE!!

Maureen Dowd wrote no such thing.
Is it that you just believe what you wish to believe? Or are you just gullible?
Reading down this stream of messages I see a pattern. The hateful, virulent anti-Obama ones are the ones most likely to be barely literate.
I’ve been sending Barack Obama in small amounts as much as I can afford since last January. Obviously there are more people like me than the misinformed haters here.

I don’t believe for a minute that all this money is from Americans…
I think alot of this dirty money is from Anti-Americans.
Muslims for Obama

First he promises to use the campaign funding system, then he renigs. Just another lying politician in my opinion. In 3 years he’s recieved over 120K from Fannie & Freddie to not regulate them – it took Dodd 20 years to get 160K for the same reason. Do you really think that this guy is concerned with the middle class? He and the other liberals are the ones who caused the crisis and then pushed the socialist rescue plan. McCain voted for it – because at this point it was necessary for economic stability – he did what he had to. Obama’s policies wreak of socialist ideals and his party opened the door for them to be put in place. Of course, that’s only a problem if he keeps his promises this time.

He is already showing us that he is very bad with money. He spends it just as quick as he makes it. NOT a good choice for president!!

Thank you Macaroon!
“Reading down this stream of messages I see a pattern. The hateful, virulent anti-Obama ones are the ones most likely to be barely literate.”
My wife and I were just making the same observation.
I simply do not see how GOP supporters can get “offended” by the amount of money Obama has and continues to raise, when historically the republicans have bought elections, and have done so with money from the likes of Enron,Exxon-Mobile and corporate interest groups.
What really bothers them now, is the fact that average Americans are tired of politics as usual and republican greed. That we the people, are participating and donating money towards a candidate who best represents America’s middle class interests.
GO Obama / Biden, victory on Nov. 4th!

Look it up for yourself if you don’t believe it. Take the time to research your candidate, their politics, and their history. The US communist party does not support a candidate by name, because they surely realize the damage it would do. However, they strongly support the Democratic platform of Obama because it closely suits their desires for America. Obama’s own voting history in the Senate does not follow what he now promises to the middle class. Get real people, I’d love to see Washington’s corruption change too, but Obama only seeks to further his own political agenda – not yours. Like it or not, he is just another corrupt politician who’s lying to Americans by telling them what they want to hear. As for “barely literate,” at least I’ve taken the time to really look at who I’m voting against. If you’ve researched Obama and still support him, then in my opinion you’re the fool here.

Stop with the sniveling snide comments. You Obama-bashers are just jealous of his success. That so many people have given him as much as they can afford means we realize how important he is to improving the mess in this country which the Rethugs have gotten us into. It’s McCain who is using TAXPAYERS’ money to fund his campaign, and Obama is using private funds raised from his millions of supporters. Obama’s campaign doesn’t extort the money, we give it freely of our own choice, because we know who is best for this country, you you don’t!! And how ridiculous you paranoiacs sound when you say “he pays off the mainstream media” to support him. You guys are ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, Barack Obama and his wife had student loans throughout their years in college and law school and were only able to pay them off when he wrote his books. That’s how they financed their way through college and university. No “secret” supporter. For once, accept the facts and stop with your scurrilous lies and innuendo.

Actually, I greatly respect his success and wish I could do the same for myself. And indeed, hge is a very charismatic speaker and seems very likable. However, there are just too many unanswered questions. There are many people I like and whom I find charismatic as he is, but I wouldn’t vote for them to be president. As I said, be an educated voter. Know what you’re voting for in great detail. I’ve taken the time to look. McCain may not make things better, but Obama, his inexperience, and his unclear agenda could easily make things far worse. Please, Please, Please! For the sake of our country, be an educated voter or save the rest of us a disaster and don’t vote! If you educate yourself and still support him, then more power to you, but remember that you’ll get what you asked for. It he turns out to be what he promises, I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong.

He should be prosecuted. Both presidential campaigns are required to submit detailed fundraising reports for September on Monday. Obama campaign donors shows worrisome anomalies, including outright violations of federal election laws. Obama campaign finance records aren’t reporting all donors. His publicly known donor base is less than 20 percent of the total number of donors the campaign claims to have attracted. But the identity of the other 2 million donors is being kept secret. Numerous donors have contributed well over the $4,600 federal election limit. It’s discovered that more than 2,000 donors had contributed in excess of the $4,600 limit for individuals per election cycle. Such donations, if not returned within 60 days, are a clear violation of federal campaign finance laws. As of the end of August, those secret donors have given an incredible $222.7 million to Obama, according to the FEC — money whose origin remains unknown to anyone other than Obama’s finance team, who won’t take calls from the press.
While no exact figures are available, if the same percentage of potential foreign contributions found in the itemized contribution data is applied to the total $426.9 million the Obama camp says it has taken in from individuals, this could mean that Obama is financing his presidential campaign with anywhere from $13 million to a whopping $63 million from overseas credit cards or foreign currency purchases. May have taken as much as $13 million from foreign donors. Unrounded contributions gave a total of $31,484,584.27, meaning that as much as $63 million may have come from questionable sources.
Unlike John McCain’s campaign, Obama won’t release the names of these donors. COME CLEAN OBAMA.

You people, including the Media, need to deal with your “HATRED” for the conservatives and look for some FACTS about these candidates. You wrong decision could reek doom for our free society and the future of Americans.
Please STUDY the recent history of the Democrats in Congress and the Senate who have ruined any progress recently for our country. They won’t vote through any needed reform as in FannieMae and FreddieMac for example.

JOHN MCCAIN is the only great candidate I have seen in years to run. There is no doubt whatsoever for me (the record shows) that he is a GENUINE, HONEST AND CARING person with great INTEGRITY, who LOVES HIS COUNTRY AND CAN BE ENTRUSTED WITH RUNNING IT. It’s a disgrace the way you liberal haters discredit him with no grounds to back it up. Be careful, because your viscious foul words will come back to haunt you.

Better watch out Lisa, in the skewed “Obamafied” point of view you just accused him of being a Nazi. I’m sure somebody will post something to that affect soon. However, I clearly see the paralell. Charismatic speaker with no political history who rises to power with the support of the blind masses following his promises of unexplained change and making his country strong again. I’ve tried to make that point many times myself without success. At this point I think these people just can’t admit that they doubt their loudly expressed choice and haven’t yet figured out how to back McCain after thrashing him.

Attention Obama haters:
50 million people voted Democrats in 2,000!
If: 50 million people donated, each donate $3 = $150 million!

To Obama haters out there… if you think that $3 or $6 or $15 dollars is a lot of money for people to give to support the future of this nation, then please spare us the “COUNTRY FIRST” slogan!

The Messiah. The best president money can buy.

When Biden says President Kennedy, I think Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile crisis and Vietnam. Young, cocky president having to show the world he has big enough balls makes us all nuclear fall-out.

So Biden is saying that the will be some “international incident” to test Obama early in his term. Tell me something I didn’t know. A whole bunch of the rest of the world is licking it’s chops to get a shot at this guy. These blogs are going to be a lot of fun as this guy bumbles his way through it. A year from now his approval rating is gonna make Bush look like George Washington.

I keep hearing Obama called a “unifier.” Say what? From what I see here, the country has never been more divided. Even if he wins 55-45, it still leaves you almost half the country against him. Some unity. The next 4 years will be just like the last 4 years and the dozens of 4 years before that. The party out of power trying to bring down the party in power. No unity, just division. People blindly following either party are the real problem with this country. If you want real “change” try stepping out of the box for a “change” and not buying this crap that the only people capable of leading this country are brought to you by either the Jack Ass, or Dumbo.

To Obama haters out there… if you think that $3 or $6 or $15 dollars is a lot of money for people to give to support the future of this nation, then please spare us the “COUNTRY FIRST” slogan!
50 million people voted Democrats in the year 2,000!
If 50 million people donated, each ONLY need to donate $3 = $150 million!
If: 25 million people donated, each ONLY need to donate $6 = $150 million!
If: 10 million people donated, each ONLY need to donate $15 = $150 million!

It is indeed frightening to think that we live in a country where so many people are consumed with so much negativity, cruelty, malice and hatred, and that we as a people cannot get past the racial and politcal divides that we have been brainwashed into believing. Is it because we are truly so ignorant or is it because we have nothing else we can do except tear each other down. I don’t know how America got to this point, after having come so far, but it sure is disheartening and sad. Makes no real difference who wins if we as individuals are no better than the comments I’ve seen on so many blogs. Idealistic I am not, but there has to be something better than all this mean and angry diatribe going on. We all have so much going on in our lives and to think that all we can do now is bicker about two men – neither one no better than the other just as none of us are no better than the other. We all have a common thread of humanity running through us. We all know that during this life we will have many hard days–long work days, sleepless nights, worrys about the future ahead of us, some will have ther faith to sustain them others will have their materialistic comforts, others will have nothing. bottom line whatever happens and who ever becomes president it won’t change the fact that unless we pull together and try to figure out what we as individuals can do to counteract the negatives that are sure to come America is going to be in big trouble and it won’t be because of something some terrorist did it will be because of what we did to ourselves. You do well to spend your efforts trying to right the wrongs of broken homes and families. You do better to concentrate on what your life is going to be like when you grow old and your children haven’t a clue of how to care for you or better yet lack the compassion to care. For sure both of them will make mistakes and the American people will suffer for it,but at least we can make the best of it with the support of our family and friends. Please stop all of this meaness we do not want another Civil War.

Oh, calm down and check out your own claims. CC was not lying. The letter was reported on various news services. Someone obviously made a funny mistake and sent a letter where it shouldn’t go. It happens.

I am so absolutely proud of Barack Obama. Over 50 of my friends give to him because I give to him and we add up to a lot! He is the hope and the dream of all who have struggle to make race just a word and education the treasure that Barack surely have found! Thirteen days to a NEW DAY!

Still obscene.
