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?
Not surprising, especially, when Romney is not the candidate at the present time.
he must have given them that “I’m all that stands between you and the pitchforks” speech again
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.
it’s called fascism.
