Despite frosty relations with the titans of Wall Street, President Obama has still managed to raise far more money this year from the financial and banking sector than Mitt Romney or any other Republican presidential candidate, according to new fundraising data.
Obama’s key advantage is his ability to collect bigger checks from fewer donors, because he raises money for both his own campaign committee and for the Democratic National Committee, which will aid in his reelection effort. As a result, Obama has brought in more money from employees of banks, hedge funds and other financial service companies than all the other GOP candidates combined, according to a Washington Post analysis of contribution data.
Consider the case of Bain Capital, the Boston-based private equity firm that was co-founded by Romney and where he made his fortune. Not surprisingly, Romney has strong support at the firm, raking in $34,000 from 18 Bain employees, according to the analysis of data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

I am reporting Obama to attackwatch.
Ozero is OWNED by the banks, and they won’t let him forget it.
I can’t find a word to describe any Wall Street banker who would support 0. Ignorant, stupid, self-hating, insane, perverted, illogical, subversive, star-struck...none of them seems adequate.

Awesome post.
We must keep sending out the truth about Baraq.
It doesn’t mean anything, in and of itself.
Obama is the incumbent Democratic nominee, he is the only one, unless he gets challenged.
There are seven Republican candidates. Wall street won’t open its wallet for them, until its down to about three.
If at that point Wall street doesn’t donate, than it could mean something, but probably only that it views Obama as the strong horse.
Can we get a Tea Partier who has the misfourtune of looking like a hippie a Sign that says this and send them to OWS?
They started a forum. I need to post this over there under a gimmick account.
He is also known to suck WORSE than all GOP hopefuls combined. A lot of good that money will do him if this depression is laid fully on him and him alone.
History repeating?
No one, no one in our government has any frick’n sense of honor. What a bunch of crook’s. The whole bunch, Pub’s and Rat’s. Line them all up and shoot them all.
Read the headlines everyday. This is beyond normal politic’s. This is nothing but corruption at the highest level.
Shakedown money.
Wall street supported Obama the last time. It is a common misconception that Wall Street is always on the Republican side.
