He spent it on advertising
Beleive it or not but B. Obama has spent the most $$$$$
Because getting elected for higher office in the US costs enormous amounts of money. mostly spent on TV commercials and other forms of 'marketing' the candidate.
Taking into account inflation, I'm going to say Mrs. Obama will end up having spent the most.
Obama has lived in Chicago, Illinois since 1985 and still has a house there.He spent most of his childhood in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Bush. 43
He ran a very successful campaign that eventually got him elected. The money was spent on ads, airfare and social events.
Tax cuts mean more money to be spent. More money being spent means more money movement in the economy. A higher money movement is inherent in a strong economy, and often necessary.
Not nearly as much as Obama and his family have spent on their vacations.
Since the money has already been spent on the Games, it cannot be used for anything else.
President Obama was born in Hawaii (really!) and spent some of his childhood in Indonesia.
