(9,124 posts)What was funny... Obama's August number was leaked and posted on DU and I jumped to Google news to see if it had been reflected. Reuters only had Romney's number up and the copy read about he was kicking Obama's ass on fundraisng. Then after a refresh... they had done a rewrite stating Obamas $114 MILLION number, still with a favorable slant towards Romney, talking about Romney's previous fundraising success. While it did reflect Obama's average donation it didn't list Mitt's. Gotta love it.
So I just stuck the numbers up there as the OP.

(1 post)I retired & have to budget my money but I keep donating 3$ bucks here, $10 on occasion when I can afford it. I will keep doing this. While it may seem a paltry sum, if everyone kicks in what they can it soon adds up. I want to see Obama in. Mitt & Ryan scare me. We will be in deep trouble if they get in office. Have to get these votes out.

I believe that $2400 is the max per person, and I would be surprised if only people that could afford the max donated.
