It goes further than that. The problem isn't the Presidents. It runs right through to local officials. This is for one seat.
Even local elections are now bought and paid for.

Take a look at today's election in San Diego: Two candidates sparring for mayor's office have spent $10 million between them, making it the city's priciest mayoral election, ever. That's nothing, though, compared to the more than $100 million recently doled out by the mayor of a certain East Coast 'burg that rhymes with "Moo Mork Mitty."
King of the municipal rainmakers is businessman Michael Bloomberg, the fiercest supporter of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The 11th wealthiest man in America keeps his coffers brimming with copious ladles of cash from his media fortune. (When he's not splashing money on Florida elections, that is.) In 2009, he spent $109 million of his own money to secure a third term ? which to folks who like to break things down, amounted at one point to $1 million a day.

And if you believe he's spending that money to do nothing but get it back, you're too dumb to vote.
