(CNN) -- President Barack Obama raised more than $86 million for his 2012 re-election campaign in the second quarter of this year, the campaign announced in a video e-mailed to supporters Wednesday.
The figure represents money raised both by the Obama campaign itself and the Democratic National Committee, and comes from 552,462 individuals, campaign manager Jim Messina said.
The contributions reflect "more grass roots support at this point in the process than any campaign in political history," Messina said, calling it a "monumental achievement." He said 98% of the donations were for $250 or less.

Yea, and 2% of the donations probably totalled 95% of the total.
The big corporations control our government through the campaign process.
Now we know there are at LEAST a half a million idiots left in America.
