"At the conclusion of his Southland trip, the president is expected to have raised $4.6 million."
Most of Obama's donations are from individuals and are around $250. Not from neocon billionaires. A significant distinction to make.

(3 posts)All that money that is being "donated" to politicians & candidates has some serious strings attached.
The ideal solution would be to ban all political donations. The government should simply post the platform and biography of each candidate on some website, and then we all talk among ourselves until election day.
Did you know that United States Senators spend the majority of their time on the phone trying to raise money for the next election? That's their primary job responsibility.
