If he already had a billion dollars promised for his re-election, why does he have to do so much fundraising?

Very "Presidential".

This Usurper clown is an embarassment, and has NO QUALMS about showing his real disdain for decorum (remember BOWING to foreign leaders?)

Enough to make you puke...

PRESIDENT OF THE 1%.

Every single player in the NBA is in the 1%. The NBA rookie minimum is $366K, which is within the current 1% range.

NBA popularity is sliding. This will accelerate the plunge - hopefully

What’s an NBA?

A labor organization dedicated to discriminating against short people.

Personally, I think the streets will be safer without all those Ferraris due to the tax on millionaires.

Because He and the rest of the Democrats know that it is not enough! It is going to be expensive,very expensive, to get the reluctant Obama voter to the polling places. Add to that the legions of flacks, opposition researchers and lawyers needed to get the right spin on the 'facts', the dirt on the opponent and the correct vote count in those narrow races [respectively].

Thus a Billion will be just the start of the needed bankroll.

The maximum campaign contribution is $2,500 ($5,000 if you include the Primary Elections). How can they get away with a $35,000 contribution for the top package?
