Unemployed Are Pinching Pennies to Donate to Obama

Big donations are coming from impoverished areas

Even though they can barely hear over the echo from their empty wallets, unemployed people are still shouting "Yes We Can!" apparently.

The Associated Press has found that President Obama still receives tons of support from the jobless, even as Republicans attempt to blame him for high unemployment and after blocking his jobs bill.

A study conducted by the AP shows that people living in the most economically distraught areas with the highest unemployment rates are still donating money to Obama's re-election campaign. In fact, they are actually donating more than they were in 2008 during Obama's first presidential campaign and right before the recession hit. 

Detroit for example, even with a 14% unemployment rate, wrote more checks to the campaign than it did in 2007. Even though the amounts are smaller (Obama's website allows people to donate as low as $10), they all still add up eventually.
