Who gets funds from Wall St http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/us/romney-perry-and-cain-open-wide-financial-lead-over-field.html?_r=2
"Since this spring, Mr. Romney has raised $1.5 million from employees of firms like Morgan Stanley; Highbridge Capital Management, a hedge fund; and Blackstone, a private equity firm. Mr. Obama has raised just over $270,000 from firms that were among his leading sources of campaign cash in 2008.
Employees of Goldman Sachs, who in the 2008 campaign gave Mr. Obama over $1 million — more than donors from any other private employer in the country — have given him about $45,000 this year. Mr. Romney has raised about $350,000 from the firm’s employees.
Those figures do not account for all Wall Street giving, nor for the full force of each candidate’s robust network of Wall Street “bundlers,” wealthy individuals who raise money from friends, family members and business associates. And Mr. Obama continues to dominate Mr. Romney — and the rest of the Republican field — in overall fund-raising. He has raised close to $100 million so far this year for his campaign, three times more than Mr. Romney, as well as $65 million for the Democratic National Committee. "
Pay close attention to the "bundler" statement here(Solyndra investor was a bundler). There is no doubt Romney is wall street. There is no way you will convince most people that Obama is not.
Mitt Romney is one of the 1%. He only pays 14% taxes. This man has a mansion he and his wife are expanding, just not big enough. I don't know this man but I do know that he has never wanted for anything in his life. This makes it difficult to understand how people feel with no jobs, inability to pay rent or buy food. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He made a joke in a small group of people that "he was unemployed". I don't find it funny.
I am not defending Romney. However people should know that it is on BOTH sides.
People still believe Obama received NO campaign financing from banks. :(
Shameful how many just accept the media narrative..on BOTH sides.
truth
Obama signed a contract with the devil to get to the white house.
Now he's paying the price.
no, he probably signed a contract with the rothschilds.
ok, same thing...
