Obama may have spent more time fund-raising than any incumbent president in history | US President Barack Obama is spending a lot of time fundraising, perhaps more than any incumbent
president in history. According to the Politico, including this week's trip to
California , Obama will spend eight of 24 weekdays during the past month on the
road and collecting cash. His event on Thursday morning will mark his 153rd fundraiser
since announcing his re-election bid last year. Obama's fundraising activities
are nearly double the number that his predecessor George W. Bush had attended
by this point in his re-election campaign, according to CBS's Mark Knoller, who
keeps detailed notes on Obama's travels. Republicans have pounced on the increasing
amount of time Obama has spent on fundraising, calling him 'the campaigner-in-chief'.
Obama, like all federal candidates, is limited to taking in 35,800 dollars per
donor, 5,000 dollars for a campaign committee and 30,800 dollars for the national
party.
