Looks like President Obama is the one truly one occupying Wall St. donors.

Earlier this week a report went out suggesting that the financial sector had abandoned Obama in favor of Mitt Romney.

Turns out these numbers do not reflect the reality of the money situation.

The Washington Post took a closer look at the numbers and reports that, in fact, Obama has outraised Romney on Wall Street this year 2-1.

The Post reports that Obama raised $15.6 million from employees in the industry, Romney has raised less than half that ($7.5 million) and Perry has only managed to collect $2 million.

could we say the Wall Street principals are cowards????

so much for that talking point

The Republicans have had this issue to smack barry with for THREE YEARS and they haven’t done it because they want that dirty money just as bad.

Tell that to Chuckie Cheese Schumer! He’s was runing his mouth that the GOP is tight with Wall St. I’ve been hearing the clip all morning. He makes me sick.

So does this mean that the kooks and crackpots at these protests will turn on Obama? Facts are stubborn things, and this fact that Obama is the candidate of Wall Street can’t make them happy.

Heck they want Obama gone anyway, as they want a revolution to overthrow the existing social and political order. So maybe this really doesn’t matter to them.

Are ‘the protest’ a new way for dems to shake down Wall Street?

[Loyal Buckeye]

Not surprising, especially, when Romney is not the candidate at the present time.

[Buckeye McFrog]

he must have given them that “I’m all that stands between you and the pitchforks” speech again

It doesn't make any difference. There is a dual standard in America. Lefties have then entire 53% base of loony dem voters and the entire drive by lame stream media to make their case and carry their religious message. Conservatives have talk radio and, and, and..................DON"T SAY FOX. Anyone listening to Fox Radio News knows they are more biased than CNN Radio News.

Yeah, but when a Democrat raises lots of money it's a wonderful thing.

When a Republican does it, it's a horrible perversion of democracy that must be stamped out.

This is just simple logic. Don't tell me you don't know, deep in your heart, that it's true.

[ken21]

it’s called fascism.
