Can the Obama supporters tell me why?

If Obama is so worried about middle Americans why has he spent over a hundred million so far this election and enters October with almost 2hundred million. So my question is why doesnt he give some of that to some of the struggling Americans out there instead of buying nonstop commercial time ....I mean he has said he wants to help Americans and that money could help alot of struggling families and that would surely get alot of publicity and would do nothing but help him in this election could it be that maybe he really doesnt care about you......hmmmmm {think about that} do we need more Obama commercials or do real Americans need help.

Update:

Give people money for something and they spend it on something else.......kind of like my social security taxes?

    Struggling Americans have contributed to his campaign. He's using the money as they intended it to be used.

    Well the law is quite clear on how campaigne funds may be used. Giving them to the Poor or families is not an option. Besides, 200 million is a drop in the bucket.

    Does it not occur to you that he can do much more for families as president than he can as a fund raiser?. Fund raising is means to the office, from which he can help Americans.

    Patriotic Americans want change in this Country. They're funding his campaign like never before. John McCain is outgunned this year and I hope it pays off. You broke-dick republicans are the reason this Country is broke. If you people truly put Country first then you'd want change.

    Obama in November.

    Did you ever stop to think where that money goes?

    -Small business sign printers who make the campaign signs for each rally.

    -Corner gas stations for refueling campaign buses.

    -Rent on campaign office space that flows directly back into the local economy.

    And those commericals? Where do you think that money goes? Some magical Swiss bank account owned by the commerical itself? How about local TV stations who can pass the boon along to their employees to go out and spend in the community?

    If he divvied up that 200m to Americans, we'd get about 66 cents per person. Yeah, that's way more effective than becoming president and pushing out policies that benefit the poor and the middle class.

    That money was donated to his campaign. I think McCain supporters are jealous they aren't raising as much money as Obama. So much for "only poor, lazy people that wants handouts vote for Obama" seems like we are the ones donating the most to help his campaign to make sure we don't get a Nazi in office.

    and apparently Salvation needs a history lesson.

    Back in the day Democrats were the current Repubs and Repubs had the same beliefs as Democrats do today. it kinda just switched over time.

    Why doesn't McCain then? I thought he was "country first," and that he'd rather lose an election...

    Why bother spending any money on commercials when he could just give it all away?

    You know the answers. Be careful when your argument can easily be flipped. It means you don't have solid ground.

    i will answer you with a question. if i gave you money to get something to eat, would you then go out to buy a video game? f

    to answer your question, he is getting all this money for his campagin. if he spent it on something else then that would be fraud! i guess there is just alot of ppl that want him in offices!

    Because we middle class Americans already gave that money to him so he could spend it on his campaign, that's why.

    Why doesn't McCain do the same? It was those struggling Americans who want him elected and gave money to his campaign.
