Obama has held more fundraisers than previous 5 Presidents combined Posted on April 30, 2012May 7, 2012 by Cincy Joe Reagan didn’t hold a single campaign fundraiser event. He did not need to in 1984. President Bush was not even near the level of campaigning as the, “Campaigner In Chief,” has assumed. The President is already hitting all the swing states and now releasing ads on a consistent basis. He’s running scared… …of losing. This is also a sign he is particularly worried about his re-election costs and the fact he may still be outspent when this is over.
