President Obama’s re-election campaign has announced it took in a record $181 million in September, its largest monthly total to date. The vast majority came from donations of $250 or less. At a fundraiser in Los Angeles on Sunday, President Obama mocked Romney for vowing to cut funding to PBS.

President Obama: “When he was asked what he’d actually do to cut spending, he said he’d go after public television.
