Opensecrets.org has a lot of information on where his money has come from in the past and currently.

Personally, I see no reason for any "undisclosed" funding of any kind. I think it all should be disclosed.

Me too!

Obama seemed to get millions from foreigners the last go around.

Wonder if he has sold out America enough to get more?

The RWNJs will still support Romney, after all he is firmly behind them and their War on Women? Apparently, unless there is money to be made from it. No wonder he doesn't want tax returns released ....

Don't worry, Obama has his Hollywood friends flying over to Europe to get donations from overseas.
"Whatever it takes".

I own Walmart stock and if I sold it today I would make some nice profit. I don't like Walmart and I don't agree with all of their policies and actions. However, I am trying to make money for me and my family.

Romney's job is to make money for his investors, so he invested in a company that removed all forms of "waste" from medical facilities like syringes and etc -- people with pensions and 401Ks had a net increase in wealth from Romney's investments.

Romney was not funding abortions, nor did he invest in a company that performed abortions. He invested client money in a company that removed ALL waste from medical facilities. Let's stop inventing things to be outraged over...this is a non-issue unless you can distort it so people don't get the whole story - your intent should not be to be dishonest and you should be ashamed of yourself for needing to defend your weak candidate by distorting the other guy.

Some people need to get in the real world and out of fantasy land. No wonder so many people think we as a country can continue to borrow 40 cents of every buck we spend.

I guarantee that if you have a 401K or pension it has money in a company that is associated with or loosely associated with something that you don't agree with. In Florida.Bob's case he is bringing up the loosest of loose associations... I guarantee you that you have friends that have done things that you don't agree with. I guarantee you that if you are honest that Obama has done things that you don't agree with...perhaps hanging out with Bill Ayers the terrorist?

Is Obama squeaky clean? No, but then he isn't pretending to be. Romney however, pretends he is. He also says he had no involvement with Bain since early 99. He is lying and clearly trying to distance himself from some of the less "positive" news of Bain activities.

I laugh whenever I hear this. Like raising more money is the reason they won the election.

The reality is that they raise more money because they have a message more people agree with.

War on Women? Hilarious. Dems pay their female employees significantly less than their male employees, but the GOP are the ones keeping women down. But you just keep on spewing the party line.
