From CNN Political Research Director Robert Yoon WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Barack Obama ended last year with $15.5 million left over in his 2008 campaign war chest, according to a disclosure report filed Friday with the Federal Election Commission. Obama could transfer the bulk of this amount to a re-election bid in 2012. By comparison, former President George W. Bush had only $292,809 in his campaign account at the end of the 2000 campaign year. Former President Bill Clinton ended his successful 1992 bid with $2.7 million in the bank.
