President Obama thanked Boston Monday for trading Red Sox third-baseman Kevin Youkilis to his Chicago White Sox, but he owed far more thanks to the supporters who donated thousands of dollars to see him at three Boston-area fund-raisers.
His campaign did not release the day’s total take, but multiplying the per-head minimums by attendees at the events indicated an amount upwards of $3 million.

How much are paying for the inevitable. Couldn't the people who want to waste their money just send a check and avoid the waste of time for everyone stuck in traffic? How does the carbon credit crowd back such a waste of fossil fuel?
Obama is at least interested in what's good for average folks, not just the billionaires. Republican superpac billionaires are winning this particular arms race, writing Romney checks for $10 million a pop so that he'll keep reducing their taxes and racking up the deficit that Bush started.
