Obama Still Wall Street's Honey ... Raises More (As Both Raw Amount And Percentage) From Wall Street Than In 2008
Money News notes:
A just-released study by the Center for Responsive Politics shows that President Obama is relying more on Wall Street to fund his re-election this year than he did in 2008, according to CNBC, which obtained an advance copy of the report.
***
Obama has even added new Wall Streeters who did not work for him in 2008, including former Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, Evercore Partners executive Charles Myers, Greenstreet Real Estate Partners CEO Steven Green, and Azita Raji, a former investment banker for JPMorgan.
Obama and the DNC combined are on pace to far exceed the amounts Obama raised from Wall Street donors in 2008, both in raw dollar amounts and as a percentage of what he raises overall.
Mr. Obama is bought and paid for. He wasn't "bullied" into accepting a bad debt deal ... Republicans weren't even calling for much of what he caved in on.
In truth and fact, Obama has fought to sell out the American people from day one.
And the Democratic party - just like the Republicans - are institutionalizing fraud as official (if unspoken) party platforms.
Politicians allowing systemic fraud in return for campaign contributions are exactly the same as cops on the take ... or pimps.

Someone needs to raise the question of whether Obama or his relatives were short the market through the period of 7/21 - 08/02. Talk about scandal............
Someone needs to raise the question of which US Congressmen were short the market through the period of 7/21 - 08/02. Talk about scandal............
Like the jewish oligarchs of Wall Street are going to vote for a Mormon, or a Presbyterian.
He laid back on them, and now they'll give him another 4 years. Q.P.Q.
With all due respect....but no shit hes bought and paid for.
Which politician since you were born hasnt been?
At least previous douce bag Presidents were born in the U S of A , there is that.
'The old imperialism-exploitation of raw materials and of colonies has been replaced by a new kind of imperialism: the pentagonist mother country exploits her own people in order to insure the aims of an economy permanently geared to war. The people are exploited as a source of labor and of taxes, which in turn assure that men and war material will be wasted in an endless cycle which profits only the military-industrial-complex. Dr. Juan Bosch, 1968

Thanks, George. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Church!
I wonder what's Obama's cut of the heroin from Afghanistan. My friend's nephew guarded the poppy fields for his whole tour there.
That's a lie. Democrats never take any money from corporations or special interests.
Thanks the )))))))))))))))))))))))))))
That´s the first bullish news today. If the banks still love Barry, they´ll ensure sufficient QE to prop up the stock market until the election is over.
So, why am I not surprised. The appointments to important financial and economic posts in the government were all I needed to see to draw the same conclusion. Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.
I cringed in fear when he cut the deal with Hillary. Why would Dorothy sell Toto to the WItch of the West? then I realized Dorothy isn't just dressed in black, it's her sould as well. Obama and Hillary despite their gender and race are opposite sides of the same prostitute's cloth. One champions themselves the soldier for women's rights while she remains with an abusive cheating spouse in a trade for political power. The other one plays the world as the first minority in the White (man's) House, while he sells his soul to every devil that shackles the common man.
the poorer middle amerika gets the more the election campaign costs...just shows, its the oligarchs who pay for it. And they are NOT broke.
Wall St wants a dictator! All hail Emperor Obama!
And the Democratic party - just like the Republicans - are institutionalizing fraud as official (if unspoken) party platforms.
it is a shame..
but what we can do is have a sit in.. or sing songs? or paint some signs?
we can talk about change and then the Bankers who are hiding behind the Government and thusly the Police will want to change their ways! talking solves everything!!!
so lets spend another 40 years talking about peaceful ways to encourage the Evil Bankers to behave themselves!
Change thru Hot Air! it is working wonders! if it aint broke dont fix it!
VOTE WITH A BULLET!
Why do I doubt you were you saying this when Bush was President?
are you saying that I am a Republican under all this?
the norm would be me being called a democrat is why I ask?
Or! to be accurate! encourage the College Electorate to Vote with a Bullet!
Ours votes dont really count! I forgot! LOL
I'm hoping for change...in 2012
Just like Obama was a change from Bush.. You will have more of the same!
The new Boss is just like the old Boss and the Boss before him.. there is NO! stopping what they want.. which is More for them and less for You!
So the sooner You understand that other than different words.. there will be NO REAL CHANGE!! no matter how many different words are used too make you vote in an election that your vote does not really count in.
For every dollar he gets.... Taxpayers will have to pay a 1000$ to those bastards at Wallstreet.
1 dollar = 1000 dollars
1000 dollars = 1000000 dollars
1000000 dollars = 1000000000 dollars
1000000000 dollars = 1000000000000 dollars
OBAMA IS A LAWYER!! LAWYERS LIE FOR A LIVING!!!
LAWYERS GIVE SPEECHES FOR A LIVING!! IT'S THEIR JOB TO GET KILLERS AND RAPISTS OUT OF JAIL!!
IF HE GETS REELECTED, AMERICA IS FINISHED FOR SURE!
I was so afraid of this all through the 2007-8 elections.
All the talk of hope and change, I tried to tell people at best you were voting for the possibility of change, but don't expect it.
People believe that they are the constituency of the congressman or senator from their district. When they realize that they are not maybe all this will make more sense. I work for the organization that pays me. When you find who pays for what the politician want (Re-election) you’ll know who his constituency is.

I lay a lot of the blame for that at the people's feet.
When the voters don't do their due diligence on the candidates - in the primaries as well as the main campaigns - they all too often end up voting for the candidates who can pay for the most commercials that pop up during the sitcoms or "reality" TV.
I remember when Clinton was getting hammered with some scandals and his ratings had plummeted towards the end of his first term. They even got nailed for their fund raising scandals of renting out White House rooms for big bucks & Gore's soliciting contributions from the Communist Chinese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_United_States_campaign_finance_controv...
http://www.aim.org/media-monitor/another-scandal-for-al-gore/
But then right before the election they used all of those ill gotten campaign funds to run a media blitz and the polls turned around and he won re-election easily.
Can we really put all of the blame on the politicians when the elections seem to hinge on who comes up with the most money to throw up the most soundbites onto the boob tube just before the election?
How stupid can we be when we elect politicians who have died before the election or who are arrested and already in prison for fraud, and grievous crimes before election day?
As Pogo famously said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
Obama 2012 will be the first $1 Billion Dollar man.
That ain't coming from $5 and $10 donations from the little people.
2008 Obama contributions.
http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=n00009638
2008 McCain contributions
http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00006424
The usual suspects are on both lists.
not only will he be the first Billion dollar man, he'll also be a two term president
not that there's a real difference between the parties, watching the republicans pat each other on the back yesterday was as captivating as watching Nancy and Harry give each other the high five
