Politico and several other websites, have published news that U.S. President, Barack Obama, is gearing up for a reelection bid, where he intends to raise $1 billion dollars. In a time when millions of people in America are out of work and their homes, it is very inappropriate that any election bid come with a price tag of $1 billion dollars. 

A cap needs to be instituted, as to how much one is allowed to spend. And let's face it, when the fundraising reaches 9-12 figures, one is essentially buying the presidency. This is wholly inappropriate. The money could be put to better use. It is an insult to the poor that it be spent otherwise.
