How quickly can you raise $1 million?

It took President Obama a little over 45 minutes on Friday.

Obama darted out of the White House midday for a quick reception with about 20 supporters at the nearby Jefferson Hotel. Each participant paid $45,000 for the face-time with the president, according to an Obama campaign official.

What do you think?
