"PETRO-DOLLARS FIND ITS WAY TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN.
Not many Americans stopped to think for a minute where did Obama get such amounts that kept his campaign going so strongly. Many Arab countries have vested interest in having Obama elected. He will be pursuing policies that are beneficial to the Muslim World. Those countries who have huge money from the surge in oil prices have been very successful in trickling small amounts of money in the hands of a huge number of Americans especially Muslims that have contributed to the budget of Obama's campaign. Naives Americans."

I challenge you to prove the statements you just made about where Obama's money comes from. I also challenge you to show how Obama intended policies would benefit Arab countries in particular. The latter is a laughable suggestion given that the oil rich Arab states have benefitted from the friendly, cozy and highly secretive Bush energy policies.
FYI Barack Obama has more than 700,000 online members & donors, including myself. That kind of fundraising outreach has prompted hundreds of thousands to give in $50 and $100 increments. If you do the math, Barack Obama's ability to generate funds is not only enormous (explaining his ability to generate millions in a couple days), but it also means that most donors have not been tapped out yet. I know my family will be giving more in the coming 2 or 3 months.
The bottom line is that barack Obama has played the Internet fundraising game FAR better than virtually anyone else. I don't know who developed this approach on Obama's team, but they have proven invaluable.
