If Obama can raise $600 Million for campaign funds in less than 2 years, Why couldn't he solve US poverty?

$600 Million divided by 37 million poor folks leaves $16.2 million dollars per poor person. Poverty solved!
As president he should have no trouble getting all his rich friends to donate to such a worthy cause!

Those who know me... bear with me on this. It is a serious question.
Think about it!
He could solve all poverty in two years!

$16.2 million dollars!!!

There goes his trickle up policy at work, and it didn't cost the taxpayers a dime, unless they voluntarily donated.

What are your thoughts?

Granny a government that which robs peter to pay paul can always depend on the support of Paul, and that's how Obama keeps his supporters thinking. he will keep them dependent and to heck with them once he gets their vote. but you will never convince them. So he will just have to show them if he get elected for theses next 4 years, It will be something to watch. LOL.

Obama raising campaign money whilst in place of work is terrible and exceptional. all of us be conscious of that great presidents like George Bush and Ronald Reagan never did any fund raising whilst they have been presidents. it is why it is not unbelievably hypocritical to criticize Obama for it.

Because that 660 million didn't come from hard working taxpayers. It is PAC money and money from other sources that you would just cringe if you knew. You don't seriously think some guy on welfare in Chicago sent Obama his cigarette money do you?

Because that 600 million didn't come from people like us, it came from foreign governments that want to take over our country with Obama.

His Senatorial federal and state districts are as run down as where he left them. He knows nothing about helping the poor or he wants the poor to stay poor. If the country had no "poor" people wouldn't be voting Democrat.
