How much does it cost to be President?

This week John McCain and Barrack Obama released how much money they collected during the month of June. John McCain raised $22 Million while Barrack Obama raised $52 Million. So far in this campaign they have raised a total of over $481 Million. Add that total to all the other money raised by the other candidates and it totals $1,074,000,000. Over 1 billion dollars. At what point do we say enough is enough? We need to change how elections are run in this country. They shouldn't cost this much or last this long.
