(CNN) - President Barack Obama's fundraising swing through the Bay Area Wednesday netted $3.25 million for the group tasked with electing Democrats to the House.
The event was Obama's first fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this year, and the first of the 2014 election cycle.
The DCCC currently has $7.6 million cash on hand.

Obama knows how to raise money but doesn't have a clue about being a leader.
Obama is really kind to give 5% of his salary back what a joke he continues to be.
I think it's about time for him to win another Nobel prize it could be for spending money he doesn't have or how to be the best snake oil salesman in the world.
The 51% that voted him in doesn't have much in the brain department that's why he approved $110 million to map the 51% so they can get the other 49% to vote for his party too.
so did the us taxpayers pay for this democrat fund raiser travel again???!!!
That is hallowed ground that he's standing on. That's where the naval academy of Starfleet Headquarters will be located, along with the General Assembly of the United Federation of Planets.
The campaign to take total control of America, is fully underway, with the dictator to stay in power.
to just asking– did the taxpayers pay for the fundraisers george bush attended.?? Gee, what a dumba$$ you are !!!
Air Force One flew him there to raise money for the Dems – I think the Dems should fork over the cost for the flight and all related costs so as not to put it on the purse strings of a floudering US economy for his own personal interest and that of his party.
Amazing that so many will pay so much to listen to a speech yet not hold him accountasble for our failing national policies. Who says liberals arent about big corporate money?? Damn, fooled again!
News Alert !,
Only 6 more days until the Obama Budget is announced 1 I can hardly wait. Are there any real democrats left ??
Looks like Obama is hurrying out to the Gay Capital of the World to cash in on all that "evolution" on Gay marriage. Wake up America. Rich Hollywood and California elite are calling the shots in Washington. Get out in vote in 2014 or lose your country forever.
Thanks Obama for raising money for the Democratic party using public tax money during a budget crisis.
Excellent example of do as I say not as I do. Stop wasing taxpayer monies on your fundraisers jack hole.
This needs to stop.
We need to pass laws requiring that all government expense be reimbursed whenever politcial campaign events or fund rasiers are involved. There is no way that the US taxpayers should be paying millions so Obama can raise money for the Democrats instead of doing his job. Obama has totally abused this with the number of these trips over the last 4 years and wlll continue to do so for another 4 years.
This has to stop. The country is going broke.
Rich Hollywood, would that be anything like the Reagans, the movie stars???
its funny just came from downtown san francisco would like to know how much the people in san francisco lost trying to get to work with all the streets blocked off all the the police and streetworkers and personal he gained 3.5 million in 6 million out good math
Get out in vote in 2014 or lose your country forever.

As if Bush never did the same thing. I know I know. IOKIYAR.
Shows how much voters want the GOP out. I am proud to have donated and will continue to donate all the way into 2014/2016. The Republican party has been given chance after chance and what did they do. Did they improve anything NO they wasted those chances with obstructionism. They have no more chances. They will be voted out in 2014/2016
