$600,000,000.00.Yes, this is what Obama will spend on this campaign.Is 600 million dollars an obscene amount?

so much for the "People"

Not compared to the money that George W. Bush has wasted on a war that was waged under false pretenses.

More than 4,000 U.S. Troops died in Iraq in the last 5 years.

As far as I know, no person died who support Barack Obama financially.

If Obama is elected, and ends the war in Iraq, then it will be worth every penny to get him elected.

I need a link. I don't think he will, but if anything he won't get in debt. Think about it this way, if he's able to manage this much for a campaign, think about how he will manage the economy, in the same fashion.

ADD: you people seem to think that these campaigns are inexpensive. With everything going up, TV ADS, Production of SIGNS etc...also he's doing a 50 state strategy ,which requires a facility in each state, he has to pay his staff etc...

KRISTA: This money is coming from ordinary people. Secondly, if you want to raise money for people who have less, go ahead!

Republicans never seemed to mind when their candidates were outspending Democrats by wide margins, so I don't see the problem with someone who is wildly appealing being able to raise so much money from millions of people.

It could hit a Billion by November.

Yes, this makes me sick.

No money for schools and for the old folks

no money for vets and the men who serve the military

social services being maxed out..

unemployment is high and home prices very low

We always have money for war and politicians..

Obama cannot buy the Presidency.

Only if the American people are dull enough to give him the receipt to the White House.

Yes.

"Buying the election" is correct.

So just what does four bucks a gallon for gas mean to people like that?

looks like the middle eastern countries are spending some of their oil money

and what about the 500 mil, McCain will spend.....ridiculous, yes, but why is this based to one side of the fence
