Obama is for the rich!

A few days ago when Obama was ahead in the polls one of Obama's spokespeople said it was a direct result of have more money to campaign. "He's using this money to make more commercials and do more advertising".

Who do you think is donating all this money to Obama? It sure isn't the lower class, or even the middle class that are "struggling" so bad! Rich people, like Oprah and her gang (for example) wouldn't be steadily giving this guy money to buy his way into the White House if there wasn't something in it for them! Every time McCain gets ahead a little, Obama receives record breaking donations!

Am I the only one that sees this?

And who is donating to McCain?
Geez....i jest scrounged up enuf fer a quart of milk...cuz i gave my last paycheck to McCain?????
Come on....they're both doing quite well in the donation department and i really doubt the lower or middle class is giving much.
Perhaps Obama should promise tax breaks to the ones making over $250,000 a year like McCain did......

:wink:

that'll get him more donations

Oooh...that's good.:smile:

It's sad but true. Obama would get even more donations if he did that.

Here are some numbers for you...

Candidate / Raised / Donors / Average
Obama / $180,500,140 / 171,128 / $1,055
McCain / $122,146,133 / 93,115 / $1,312

I got my source numbers here and calculated them...

http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/donordemCID.php?id=N00006424&cycle2=2008&goButt2.x=9&goButt2.y=4&goButt2=Submit

Individuals are limited to contributing $2,300 to a candidate, so "the rich" are limited.

Also, Factcheck.org reports: "The Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks donations at its Web site Opensecrets.org, figures that 34 percent of the donations that Obama raised and reported as of Feb. 20 came from donors who gave $200 or less.

For comparison, John McCain got 24 percent of his from donors who gave $200 or less."

That surprises me. I thought that the rich would be donating more towards McCain.

But..it does show how much more people want to support Obama.

Oh please...the DEMS want to add spending to this 750 bil for guess what????

LOW INCOME HOUSING??????

Talk about going off the deep end... this is why the deficit is soooooo high. DEMS cannot control their spending & this is EXACTLY what McCain is talking about.

I can't wait to see the devil in these details...
