Dozens of Wall Street executives who supported President Obama in 2008 have donated to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign this year.
According to a review of fundraising data, 67 people who work in the financial sector and live in the New York City metro area gave to Obama in 2008 and the former Massachusetts governor in 2011.
The reversals come in the wake of Obama's tough rhetoric on Wall Street, most notably last year when the president was pushing Congress to pass what became known as the Dodd-Frank law.
The 67 individuals who live in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut donated at least once to Obama's 2008 campaign. They have since directed contributions amounting to more than $147,000 toward Romney's presidential campaign.

Looks like Soros will have to bankroll his boy all by himself..............
The same idiots who helped put the current Monster in the White House are now bankrolling Romney.
If NOTHING ELSE, this PROVES Romney is the WRONG MAN to replace B.O.
If Romney falters, they will back Christie. It was announced on FOX that he met with financiers in New York recently to discuss his candidacy.
Their only interest is their profits and one-world globalism. They reject the uniqueness of America and the American political system and owe their allegance to organizations like the Bilderburg Group and the G-8.
HELP!!!
Can ANY Freeper do a photo shop of Obama in the Uncle Sam uniform with the “I WANT YOU saying with “I WANT YOUR MONEY” ???
Lack of campaign donors is not going to be Obama’s problem.
He has all the kickback from ACORN-ish groups, etc. And of course the unions and the die hard left.
Furthermore, he has the media. No amount of money can buy that.
One-world globalism? Lolz. I think they are more concerned about that gaping hole in their pocket.
ick.
Romney?
Still a bull market for stupidity on Wall Street I see.
So they’re supporting the Socialism Lite candidate. Sweeeeeet.
They were the enemies of the people then and they are the enemies of the people now.
I'd vote for Obama before I'd vote for Romney.
I don't like Mitty, but that's a terrifying statement to me.
Are you serious?
Absolutely!
If the repugnant elites think they are going to run another of their stooges again,
and the rank and file will just have to suck it up and pull the lever for the home team,
they're in for a big surprise.
I would vote for nearly ANYBODY to eject BO from the White House - even Romney.
One of the reasons we have BO in the White House is too many conservatives couldn’t hold their nose and vote for McRino.
Hmm, I knew folks who did not vote McCain—not sure if they voted for the kenyan or just sat out, but they did not want a RINO and thot it would be better to have obama to a RINO. They thot dear leader winning election would be a good thing because it would take the blinders off folks about evils of socialism, etc. Though we have the rise of the Tea Party due to the arrogance of the RINOs and socialists, they don’t seem to feel it was good that obama won—some of the damage may be very difficult to repair.

I will vote for whoever runs against the kenyan ...the decline of our nation will only be hastened by his re-election.
I don’t think the country can survive as a republic and leader of the free world with another 4 years of obama, do you?
