Obama Campaign Reports Record Haul of $181 Million in September 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama's re-election campaign has announced it took in a record
$181 million in September, it's largest monthly total to date. The vast
majority came from donations of $250 or less. At a fundraiser in Los
Angeles on Sunday, President Obama mocked Romney for vowing to cut
funding to PBS.

President Obama: "When he was asked what he would actually do to cut
spending, he said he would go after public television. So for all you
moms and kids out there, don't worry, somebody is finally cracking down
on Big Bird, cracking down on him. Elmo has made a run for the border.
Governor Romney plans to let Wall Street run wild again, but he is
bringing the hammer down on Sesame Street."
