Still no money from special interests or PACs. So the real news is NOT how much he's spending, but how he got it in the first place - the active financial support of more people than any other campaign in history.

There should be a limit to what a presidential candidate is allowed to spend on advertising. That would also level the playing field.

If so, you should be happy to help Americans that are less fortunate. If not, sit down and leave your conservative view points to those that are like you. I am tired of you Repubes calling everyone out but not looking at the big picture, which is we all live in this country and should be willing to help eachother in a time of need. You are just a greedy ignorant fool......... @KC

I encourage everyone else to do the same as early as possible. I wish his grandmother prayers for a healthy recovery to see him inaugurated in January. I do think some type of apology is owed from this "attacked" woman (who lied) from an Obama supporter. I cant seem to bring myself to have sympathy for ignorance.
