A top executive of a Wall Street firm that had received federal bailout money was among the donors who contributed to President Obama's 2010 Senate re-election campaign after he resigned his Illinois seat, the Washington Times reported.
Bruce A. Heyman, managing director at Goldman Sachs, which received a $10 billion bailout last year, donated a maximum $2,300 to the Obama 2010 fund the day after Christmas, the newspaper reported.
In all, the fund received four contributions totaling $4,800 on Dec. 26, according to Federal Election Commission reports.

Well actually, lets discuss. If you look at this, it seems that it would have been cheaper for the government to just give Obama the 2300 directly instead of having to pay out 10 billion in bailout bucks so he could get his 2300. Now we know why it was such a big deal for Obama to refuse the Federal Matching Funds when he was running for President.
