Despite the cute little stories about grandmothers donating $10 the real money behind Obama in 2008 was Wall Street. By a mile. Sure he gave lip service to the rest of the country that despises Wall Street since they crashed the economy and were then re-rewarded for it, but we're back to square one again. There's no way normal voters can keep up with the Wall Street cash, so we're being left behind (again) so Obama can win back Wall Street and fund his 2012 campaign. Yes, the bad guys have indeed won and as long as you vote for Obama or give him cash, they will keep on winning.
The latest love affair with Wall Street started a few months ago and it's likely to grow over the next month. We're so far beyond the "hold your nose and vote or else" stage. NY Times:
A few weeks before announcing his re-election campaign, President Obama convened two dozen Wall Street executives, many of them longtime donors, in the White House’s Blue Room.
The guests were asked for their thoughts on how to speed the economic recovery, then the president opened the floor for over an hour on hot issues like hedge fund regulation and the deficit.
Mr. Obama, who enraged many financial industry executives a year and a half ago by labeling them “fat cats” and criticizing their bonuses, followed up the meeting with phone calls to those who could not attend.
