If true, the fact that Obama gets more money from big business does not implicate Obama would be good for the economy or the country as a whole. This money is probably donated in the donator's self-interest from people who are probably well connected in government and would benefit from a democrat government. A true liberal (LOL), would understand this argument hurts Obama's credibility among liberals and progressives and supports those who favor big business. The argument in this article is poor.

Wall street firms are scared to death that they are next on Obama's list behind the oil companies. After Obama seizes the assets of the oil companies and taxes them into oblivion, who will be next? Wall street will be next. Wall street is the pinnacle of capitalism ... that Obama and the anti-corporate leftists despise. Higher capital gains taxes will be the tip of the long spear of taxation that Obama plans on driving into the investment community on the war path to socialism/communism. These Wall Street firms are simply throwing him a bribe in hopes of softening him up. It is bribe money.

Concentration of the Wealth of the Country at the TOP leads to Economic Depression. The Middle Class has been devastated by Republican Policies and Bush's Incompetence. I hope Bill Clinton will Get Over Whatever is bothering him, and Remind the American Voters What Peace and Prosperity felt like.

For a long time it was down under Dubya. I think it was about 7,700 in August 2002. I have heard conservatives say that Clinton's good times were caused by Reagan and Dubya's bad times were caused by Clinton. You can spin anything into anything if you try hard enough.
