Comments on: Who's Really Backing Barack Obama?

CBS Evening News: Obama Says 90 Percent Of His Donations Are Small, But He's The Biggest Fundraiser Ever

Congratulations on this article. Would have been even more apporopriate if it had been published much earlier and then updated. As you point out, Sen. Obama claims most of his money comes from small donors and it turns out most of that is from donors that contributed less than $200 so they don''t have to be identified. If Sen. Obama is truly getting that kind of support from legitimate small donors one would think he would be very proud of that and showing that list to anyone who would look at it. Looks to me that Sen. Obama has raised more funds than all his opponents put together, both primary and general elections? Is this someone who truly understnds middle America?

Obama''s a politician. And he''s spent his political career positioning himself to step on the next rung up the ladder. And to do that, one has to have powerful and wealthy backers. That''s the game. Is anyone surprised at this?

Why did you all not worry about George Bush ''s campaign funds??? why were you so willing to accept a white man contribution as being honest?
Now that a Black man has supersede the campaign contribution , he must be some dishonesty? you all make me sick !!!No wonder the USA is in such a mess! That is all I have to say about transparency, you all are so transparent about your bigotry !!!!!

This a question that should have been raised months ago,and you have refused to bring to the forefront.The same is true for seriously investigating Obama''s long list of questionable associates.Every time Obama dismissing someone as "They just live in my neighborhood" we find out through other sources that he had long time deeper relationships,like that of Rasheed Khalidi,Prince Alwaleed,and Dr.Khali al-mansour.Why does anyone want to elect a president with so many questionable ties?Don''t Hope for a better life;Vote for John McCain and get one.
