How can Democrats explain where the money comes from ? I thought all the rich were Republicans? Is it all American ? What do the donors want in exchange ? How much is from union dues ? Is that not laundered stimulus money . Given to Unions , collected in dues , then donated back to Obama campaign ?
I am embarrassed that my country spends so much on elections .
Just like they will to the Republicans. (many give to both sides)
Please READ the post I quoted to put my answer in context.I'll post the OP AGAIN so you can read it this time....and see your answer here doesn't make sense.

How can you possibly think that he is the least bit squeemish about spending other people's money? Honestly...that's all he's done his entire life.
You're just figuring out now that most of that is probably given in some questionable way? That's how politicians get elected--both dems and republicans. It's also why a 3rd party guy, or a guy like Ron Paul, who doesn't have the connections, can't get elected.
Here, let me translate this thread out of Rightwingese.
"OMG, Obama has a ****load of money. We're terrified!"
Ya nailed it!
