Preliminary results of a study on presidential campaign donations shows that President Obama had more than 3.7 million donors compared with 827,000 who donated to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)

And while Obama had a substantial lead over McCain in small donors -- $200 or less -- Obama also led in the number of individuals who gave at or near the legal limit of $4,600, researchers at Brigham Young University said. Donors gave Obama $700 million to Obama (sic) and $316 million to McCain.

Donations from individuals giving $200 or less represented nearly a quarter ($178 million) of Obama's fund-raising total but only 7 percent ($35 million) of McCain's.

Obama raised nearly $135 million from individuals giving at or near the legal limit, compared with just less than $110 million for McCain.

"Donations from individuals giving $200 or less represented nearly a quarter ($178 million) of Obama's fund-raising total .."

Extrapolating then, more than 3/4th of his contributors gave more than $200.

Also noting how they don't breakdown foreign and domestic sources.

Not to mention how many of the $200 or less were given the money to donate by the maxed out big money donors.

What killed us was gazillions of blacks [who normally do not vote], women, and students [who vote sporadically].

I am more interested in why this story was written at all. The election was over 7 months ago. We lost definitively; why rub salt in the wound of those that voted against this lightweight?

Unless The First Thug's approval numbers continue to slowly decline and this is the first salvo by Sycophant Media Complex to start building his legacy.

Our system is really screwed up when the presidency can be bought and paid for.
