It would be surprising if they gave him even a dime, since the NRA has vehemently opposed Mr. Obama since day one. Two things should be noted: individual NRA members may have supported him and donated to him, but you asked about the national organization, which generally aligns with Republican candidates. Also, many of the negative statements about Mr. Obama made by officials of the NRA are demonstrably false, but the organization continues to promote these assertions.

Why did Barack Obama campaigning?

All politicians campaign-- "to campaign" means to go out and try to persuade people to vote for you. Barack Obama has had to campaign since he first ran for office in 1996. He had to give speeches and attend events in various cities so that he could meet potential voters and answer their questions. Even when he ran for president the second time, he still had to campaign, to go from city to city, talking to voters and making sure they were going to vote for him. When politicians campaign, they discuss their views on certain issues, and promise voters that these issues will get lots of attention once the politician is elected. And as part of campaigning, politicians will often say negative things about their opponents, to show the voters which candidate is the best for them to choose. Barack Obama has campaigned against John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012. But since Mr. Obama can only serve two terms, he will not campaign for himself again. However, he may go out and campaign for another Democratic politician, to help him or her get elected.

What raises money for candidates that support certain issues?

Candidates can receive money from individuals who would like to donate to their campaign, but there's a limit on how much they can give. Of course, in today's corrupt society, the person with the big bucks can give the money to a friend and have the friend donate the money, thus bypassing the limiting rule for campaign donations. Usually, the candidates already have money, which is why we only see wealthy bureaucrats dominating the political field. You have to have money to make money essentially.
