Spending so much money to get someone elected for president (a job that pays $400K a year), is this a huge waste of money? $150 million just for Obama for the month of September.

I know most of this money comes from corporations (that will want favors or benefits later).
How many schools could be built on this money spent for advertising and campaigning?
