Obama campaign passes 1M donors

President Obama’s reelection campaign passed the one million-donor mark on Monday afternoon after sending a series of prodding emails to supporters. “It’s a big moment: 1,000,000 people have chosen to own a piece of this moment,” the Obama campaign said on its official Twitter account half an hour after the ticker on the campaign’s website rolled from 999,999 to 1,000,000.

It happened around 4:15 p.m. ET, less than an hour after the campaign sent a note signed by Obama urging backers to be part of that first million.

“No matter what our opponents do, and however many people end up becoming a part of this campaign—this first million will always be the group that put this movement in the best position possible for the fights ahead,” Obama said.

“When you give, you're not just becoming one of the first million to help fund this campaign—you're representing millions more across the country who are counting on us,” he added. To sweeten the deal, the president noted that other donors had agreed to match the contributions made in the run-up to one million.

Probably made up of 500,000 moonbats who wanted to have dinner with the 0ne, paying $3 each (they could have put their name in this “raffle” without paying, according to the rules).

90 percent of the donations were under such secret names as billy club, jim nazium, and Frank footer AKA Soros and the other 10 percent were guilty white folk, american idol viewers, self hating jews, dumba## college students still in college, blacks who vote color, the entitlement crew, the unions, the solar and wind industry, the dead, and the I dont have to work anymore occupy wallstreet circus

This year some of the listed doners are actually real people and many of the donations are actually legal.

(no fooling!)

over 500,000 are disney characters. Soros and solyndra money all funneled through pre paid debit cards. His fund raising is the only thing more fraudulent than he is!

Considering he goes on campaign trips paid for by taxpayers, doesn’t that make us all donors?

What they really mean is that:

the Obama campaign passed the benchmark of 1 million Soros- funded Amex prepaid debit cards distributed by Acorn and cashed into the Obama campaign as “individual” contributors.

Is there a watchdog for political contributions?

Debit card transactions should be traceable.

Last time around the Obamabots made sure that a substantial amount of money from debit cards came in at amounts lower than the threshold requiring them to track the name of the contributor. They said they would anyway, but they didn’t.

That doesn’t surprise me a bit. The core diehards are scared spitless and will need to circle the wagons.
