"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.

Preliminary results of a study on presidential campaign donations shows that President Obama had more than 3.7 million donors ...3.68 million of whom were George Soros, and 0.02 million who were Hamas.

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.

IIRC, obama did not have to report the vast majority of his contributions, because they did not meet to thread-hold to report it. So we really do not know who gave what, is that not correct?
We do know that some Palestinians gave to him, illegally, iirc.

If I understand the way this had traditionally worked, the republicans in the past have outpaced the democrat party in the percentage of people who gave smaller amounts of money.
IIRC, The RNC has released its data on this for a while, and the DNC refused to do so, because they knew full well how it would stack up.
In this last cycle, this was the first election cycle I did not donate to the RNC or the Republican candidate, even a small amount. I refused to do it, because I viewed the operations of the party as being completly inefficient, unfocused and not in line with my values as a conservative.
Instead, I gave directly to a variety of candidates at various levels.
And I don’t think I was alone in this.
Can anyone out the validate my recollection on the donor statistics?
