22. Since when does the President get credit for what the DNC raises?
The title is patently dishonest as the most reasonable interpretation from anyone just reading the headline is that Obama raised all of that in his own campaign.

Not to mention, it is not unusual for a Presidential nominee to get this many contributions from people in those industries without any strings attached - or the President even knowing who sent in how much. Every time ANY industry comes up, you will find that some people employed in that industry have donated to Obama .. or Romney. That is their right.

Should the President be limited to just people who are unemployed, retired, or students (which will severely limit contributions) - or some list of industries you approve of?
