Obama campaign raised $52 million in June

Democrat Barack Obama raised $52 million last month for his presidential campaign, more than twice as much as Republican rival John McCain in a significant boost to his financial cache for the fall contest.

Goes to show how many moronic, brain dead, kool-aid drinking retards will voluntarily give their money to the man who will take it anyway if elected. You need to save your money in case he does get elected.

[Bout time]

"You need to save your money in case he does get elected. "

We don't have any money left. The current administration has sent us all to the poor house.

[FL Native]

30 million more than McCain impressive, especially for a Democrat. Well they won't be able to say they were out spent by the Republicatans this time around. Guess they really don't know the elections are fixed.

[The laughing liberal]

Mo Money, Mo Money.
That's what it's all about, right?

Anyone thinking he's a different kind of politician is a fool.

[RoundofApplause]

He is a different kind. He's not feeding out of the pocket of the DNC as McCain is with the RNC. Whether thats a good different, or a bad different is up for interpretation.

[Dajokerman]

That's my man Obama.

I don't know why people hate on Obama, millions of people are donating to his campgain. I saw McCain's numbers, he's barely raising any money from regular people but instead is getting all of his support from the RNC. This election is going to be the classic battle between the American people and the rich elitist in the Republican party like McCain.

The voice of the people will not be silence.

No it just proves how stupid and ignorant of economics they are.

It isn't millions of people "voluntarily" contributing to osama. Maybe some should kind of watch the news and kind of get an education on where the "millions" are really coming from. Lets see....Chris Dodd, for one, osama's ex-VP search committee chairman. He kind of got caught stealing from Indymac and after investigations, there will no doubt be more banks who have kind of "contributed" to osama. Then, there are the arab countries. Oh, and OPEC. Is the average American citizen that gullible to think that an average American citizen would contribute millions to a candidate that has specious ties? If those citizens believe that amount has been "raised" by "average" citizens, then I would doubt they would be knowledgeable enough to vote. Kind of scary!!

[Mr Anon]

The average donation to Obama for that month was $68 Per person. This translates into hundreds of thousands of people contributing to Obama's campaign.

He needs to raise more because he spends more to buy the election. According to the Federal Elections Commission, as of May 31, 2008 - Obama has spent $244 million compared to McCain's $77 million.

Aren't you the racist school treacher that shouldn't be in charge of teaching any children at all? You should really stay away from children.

Speaking of the “Husseinization” of Obama — how the Republican Smear Machine (RSM) will portray Obama as a black Muslim terrorist — one of the bigger right-wing bloggers, Pamela of Atlas Shrugs, is already on the bigoted offensive:“My objective is to unearth Obama’s relationship to Islam. Islam is a political ideology and it is incompatible with democracy.”

Actually, Islam is a religion, a faith, just like Judaism or Christianity, and, of course,

Christianity has a long and decidedly anti-democratic history.(Yes, she’s that ignorant JUST LIKE YOU.) But no matter. Her real objective is clearly to smear the entirety of the Muslim religion, and all Muslims, and to argue that Obama is a terrorist, or at least a friend to terrorists.

And given her ignorant, bigoted view of Islam as, in essence, a cult of terrorism, all she needs to do, in her own mind, is to show that Obama has a Muslim friend, or perhaps has just shaken hands with a Muslim.

Pamela is an extremist, yes, but this is what we can expect from the RSM going forward. AND YOU ARE AN IGNORANT PERSON just like this dumb Bi*Tch! You are cruelly depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. What you are lacking in intelligence, you’re more than making up for in stupidity.

Having an ideal and not only believing, but enacting reform, "Change" if you will... hmm, something tells me general knowledge of economics didn't play in as a factor in the Obama campaign's decision.

All I see is, babble. Just another brainwashaed, black.

[Cheeze Whiz]

“Husseinization” no kidding... who named him that anyway? What was he thinking?

History will show that in a year where the democrats had an open path "slam dunk" to the basket... for a one point win of the game... instead of taking the easy shot... they decided to "show off" by taking a three pointer from outside the circle. And the shot came up short... with no time on the clock for a second try. So sad.

That's because even the politicians in his home state refuse to support him.
Arizona Donors Give McCain Cold Shoulder
Many Big Time Bundlers in Likely GOP Nominee's Home State Haven't Taken Up Their Senator's Cause
"...Sen. John McCain's Arizona campaign chairman, fellow Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, is missing from McCain's list of 26 Arizona bundlers who have raised $50,000 or more in contributions for his presidential campaign....another notable figure missing from McCain’s list is the Arizona state Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen. Pullen’s absence from even relatively minor fund-raising is one sign that conservative state Republicans might be disenchanted with McCain....the better part of the state's GOP political leadership is not listed as McCain bundlers for any amount, including former Arizona Gov. Jane Dee Hull, who bore the brunt of McCain's infamous temper on several occasions, and Reps. Trent Franks, John Shadegg and Jeff Flake. One elected official, Rep. Rick Renzi, had been McCain’s Arizona co-campaign chairman, but resigned after he was indicted earlier this year on corruption charges....McCain has a history of raising substantial campaign funds from his wife’s ownership in Hensley & Co., distributor of Budweiser and other beer brands with sales estimated at $300 million or more a year...."

And his fellow GOP thugs are afraid of him:
"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic.- Senator Thad Cochran, R-MS
"I decided I didn't want this guy anywhere near a trigger." - Senator Pete Domenici, R-NM
"He is a vicious person. They so disliked him that they wouldn't support him.- Former Representative Charles LeBoutillier, R-NY
"His temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, that should disqualify him." - Former Senator Bob Smith, R-NH
"What happens if he gets angry in crisis in the presidency? It's the president's job to negotiate and stay calm. I just don't see that he has that quality." - Former Arizona GOP Chairman John Hinz
"Hardheaded is one way to say it. Arrogant is another way to say it. Hubristic is another way to say it. Too proud for his own good is another way to say it. It's a quality about him that disturbs me." Larry Wilkerson, former chief aide to Colin Powell
