Obama doesn't even support HIS OWN re-election campaign with the maximum. A paltry $5,000 must mean he doesn't have much faith in winning.
Move those goalposts, jt! At first it was hilarious that Obama was donating to his own campaign. Then, when it's pointed out to you that Romney has done the same, it's suddenly, well, yeah, but...uh...but...but, um...you know, it's DIFFERENT because Romney donated to himself at the BEGINNING and Obama is doing it NOW. Surely you all can see how DIFFERENT that is, right? RIGHT??

You're the best comic relief C-D has. Keep spamming the board with your hilarity.

LOL... GUWAFF, GUWAFF SNORT you fail.
I guess with only $5K in a donation Obama didn't want to bet too much on a losing horse, himself.

(note, politics has grown the Obama family wealth exponentially over the past decade)

Wow. That's a breath-taking 180 you did there. First you open with the implication that Obama is so desperate to be giving to his own campaign; now you're telling us he's not giving ENOUGH. Just how many orifices can you talk out of at the same time? :-)

Thread is still a major failure. Let us know if you ever quit trolling and get around to having a consistent, coherent opinion.

Well, not sure if he's auctioning it off, but here's him raising money with some dinner fundraisers at $50K a person. How DISGUSTING! Surely, you must be OUTRAGED!

Hmm. Maybe you should engage in careful some personal reflection before throwing around accusations of "mindless idiot twit"...

Romney plans trio of D.C. fundraisers, including $50K-per-person dinner in Georgetown - The Washington Post

Sometime one must dumb things down the the Liberal's level:

Romney donated the maximum to his own capaign to kick it off.

Obama donates a miniscule amount NOW because (a) he's cheap (b) he's so desperate and (c) his donations are so lacking.

You must be hyperventilating from your fascinating intellectual gymnastics.

Mitt gave more because he's a private citizen who happens to also be a billionaire. If Obama gave a lot more money, everyone would immediately criticize him that he's lavishly giving to his campaign from taxpayer dollars. In fact, I'm pretty sure someone will come in and spin this into being a horrible shame that Obama didn't give the money back to cut the deficit (maybe that someone will be you).

The timing of when the giving occurs is irrelevant. Bottom line is that both candidates donated some symbolic amount to their campaigns, and it's perfectly normal to do. It would be no big deal except that you tried to make a failed troll thread out of it.

Not that I'm surrpised... weren't you the one who actually believe that the administration only lowered the flag to half mast after the Ft. Hood shooting because some nutty woman from Texas made a few phone calls? Let's just say that there is a deficit of credibility for you to work through.

Some of you need to unplug all electronic devices and take a long walk in the woods.

Clearly the election is getting to you.

Does your family avoid you? Do friends make excuses not to meet? Does your dog cower under the bed while you scream at the TV political segments?

These are the signs of Election Year Derangement Syndrome.
It will make you less popular than halitosis at a kissing booth.
Seek immediate help.

The law reads, Personal donations to political campaigns, are limited to $2500.

Now he's going to owe himself some big favors for that contribution. I hope it wasn't the kids college fund.
