You must not have a list of the Wall Street Banks donations to the President. I believe Goldman Sachs led the way in 2008 second only to the U of Cal PAC in total.. Like to see what they are giving this time...just in case he wins again. These WS guys play both sides just in case.

Read this before you point a finger.

Goldman Sachs was top Obama donor

articles.cnn.com

For Goldman Sachs, a large financial investment in President Obama does not appear to be paying off.

Wall Street's top investment bank was a generous contributor to Obama's presidential campaign.

The company has defended itself from civil fraud charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and, along with the rest of the financial services sector, fended off an aggressive Democratic-led campaign to impose new rules on banks.

According to Federal Election Commission figures compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, Goldman Sachs' political action committee and individual contributors who listed the company as their employer donated $994,795 during 2007 and 2008 to Obama's presidential campaign, the second-highest contribution from a company PAC and company employees.

Goldman Sachs contributions to the Obama campaign were more than four times larger than the $230,095 in donations to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign.
