Documents filed with the Federal Election Commission Friday show President Barack Obama's presidential campaign raised $46 million in June and spent $58 million.

Meanwhile, his Republican challenger Mitt Romney brought in $33 million through his campaign, and spent $27.5 million. The Republican candidate's spending last month was nearly doubled from in May, when his campaign spent just over $15 million.

The filings from Friday indicated that the Romney campaign finished June with $22.5 million cash on hand, while Obama's campaign had $97.5 million in the bank.

Earlier this month both organizations released their joint fund-raising numbers with their respective party committees. Those figures showed the Republicans bringing in approximately $100 million, compared to the $71 million raised by Obama and the Democrats.

When faced with someone who has proven to lie and flip-flop so shamelessly, President Obama should do everything possible to counter those lies and to expose the lack of character, the shady dealings and elitism, and the dangerous proposals of his opponent. What would give anyone the idea that the president would roll over and do nothing? Only someone who would back a liar...I suppose. OBAMA 11/6/2012!
