Obama got his money from dumb assed Democrats.
OK but that's not what we hear is it? How did obama set that record?Both parties are "parties of the rich".
Micro-transactions. It's the same reason a "free" game like FarmVille can be billion dollar business.

But record setting by obama does not add up since most supporters of obama are supposedly poor in tough economical times are not going to waste their money for political purposes.
Are you so sure of that?OK but that's not what we hear is it? How did obama set that record?Both parties are "parties of the rich".
It's exactly what I "hear". If you don't "hear" that, perhaps you aren't listening close enough.
Obama set the record by receiving the more money for his campaign than anyone else before.

When did anyone claim that Obama supporters were all "poor"?
Rich Democrats are different than Rich Republicans......they dont fuck people to get their money......only Republicans do that....Rich Democrats also dont buy political candidates.....that is unheard of.....all those rich Democrats in the Congress....great people....the Republicans are all fuckers.....all those Corporations that give to Democrats.....great Companies.....treat people like people should be treated.....i got all this info from reading Merrill,Dean,Chris and TM's posts.......Obama got his money from dumb assed Democrats.
OK but remember The party of the rich as been said to be the republican party. In 2008 obama set a all time record. So if the poor support the democrats how did obama get all that money?
Republicans aren't THE party of the rich. They're just A party of the rich. On the whole, they're worse in this regard than the Democrats. But that isn't to say the Democrats are what you could call good.
Obama's victory in the general election was aided by his tremendous fund-raising success. Since the start of 2007, his campaign relied on bigger donors and smaller donors nearly equally, pulling in successive donations mostly over the Internet. After becoming his party's nominee, Obama declined public financing and the spending limits that came with it, making him the first major-party candidate since the system was created to reject taxpayers' money for the general election.

Obama did do very well in small donations, suggesting that he was the preferred candidate of middle-income and poor Americans (as does exit polling). He did better than McCain from finance and technology companies. However, much of his money came from industries that give substantially to both parties. Probably his biggest fundraising edge was that he was the favorite to win the nomination, and contributors like to give to people they think are going to win. As far as I can tell, we haven't had another non-incumbent who was seen as such a strong candidate from the time he accepted the nomination, so it doesn't surprise me that he also raised the most funds.
