(CNN) – Documents filed with the Federal Election Commission Friday show President Barack Obama's presidential campaign raised $46 million in June and spent $58 million.
Meanwhile, his Republican challenger Mitt Romney brought in $33 million through his campaign, and spent $27.5 million. The Republican candidate's spending last month was nearly doubled from in May, when his campaign spent just over $15 million.

The filings from Friday indicated that the Romney campaign finished June with $22.5 million cash on hand, while Obama's campaign had $97.5 million in the bank.
Earlier this month both organizations released their joint fund-raising numbers with their respective party committees. Those figures showed the Republicans bringing in approximately $100 million, compared to the $71 million raised by Obama and the Democrats.

For a party that is not a rich party ( so say Democrats) Democrats are definitely richer than Republicans. Obama has collected way more money than Romney, thanks to rich Democrats, because it is definitely not a $10 donations. Wow, Democrats have a lot of cash to spare. Glad to see Democrats are doing well financially, maybe they could loan some money to Republicans.
Mittens is fiddling the money again!
We can't let him buy this election!
How can any sane person compare Obama's campaign spending with Rmoney's without mentioning the zillion dollars being spent by pro-Rmoney super PACS? Give me a break!!!
What happened to the outraising by Romney? I guess Obama can stil rase money without getting just one check.

"because it is definitely not a $10 donations."
Obama consistently reports far FAR more small donations as contributing to his totals than does Mittens. In fact, if I remember correctly, Mittens has tried to steer clear of giving that kind of breakdown for that very reason. As far as loaning money to Republicans goes, I'd be glad to as soon as they show the fiscal responsibility and concern for their own financial well-being to stop voting for Repubilcans.
Concern / pity trolls are so amusing. Not. Obama is transparent with his donors but Mr. Etch A Sketch, Waffler, Wah Wah Teresa Heinz didn't have to so why should I Romney hides in the shadows.
man that would have fed a lot of Americans, but I guess that is our responsibility.
And yet Romney and Obama are tied. It's going to take a lot more money for the Chicago thug to buy the election this time. Hope and somebody else's change is Obama's motto.
@Don: "We can't let him buy this election!"

Yeah, we can't let Obama buy this election! He bought it last time around and didn't work out well for the country.
It's ok this month that Obama spent more. Next month when Romney spends more, then it won't be ok.

Republicans rely on a few billionaires to deliver a hateful and dishonest message designed to enrage their white, gullible, bigoted, and fearful base of Teavangelicals. It's the only way the 1% can win an election.
How is it possible Obama raised so much?Republicans said all Democrats don't pay taxes and live off of welfare. If they are all bottom feeders how did they come up with all the cash or is it possible that Republicans are just full of BS?
Oduma spends more than he brings in. Just like his handling of the economy. Worst excuse for a president ever.
I c a lot of idiots wrapped n morons on today.. i had hoped that they would stop believing everything there friends say and do their own homework.but sadly most of u dems cant or dont want truths . plz check facts before u write unlike most medias show your intelligents by learning .

Myviewis: You're not good at maths, are you?
He can have his own view , with out the facts its irrelevant !
Myviewis, check the facts! Its not an issue of being rich. There are just thousansd and thousands of us giving $5, $10, $25 to keep the puppet out of the Whitehouse.
Hmmm, Obama spends MORE than what he raises...Typical Liberal....
Romney has raised more than Obama the past two months but has spent a lot less....I say he's getting ready for bombardment soon
ROmney only has 17 donors. Obama has millions. I would be willing to bet Obama's votes will outnumber Mitts
You watch how Casino, the wall street, the military contractor money flow into super pac... follow the money trail....you see where the election is going.
NO amount of money will erase the fact that b. O. Appointed la raza vice president cecilia munoz to be his secretary of domestic policy, or hilda la raza solis to be secretary of labor. He appointed 44 la raza hispanics to key positions to shape national policy and further the cause of the illegal invasion
No surprise. He's great at spending other people's money.
