I'm very disappointed with Obama because I feel he obfuscates a great deal with his rhetoric-- and the media does all it can to go along with this charade. I feel that this information should be required reading for all voters before voting. I really feel embarrassed for the buffoons ( above ) who just blindly charge to the defense of someone ( Obama ) thoroughly covered in dirty money, without being armed with the facts. Will these same people be defending the CEO's of Lehman, AIG and Countrywide with the same vigor?!? Thanks for the insight. Larry,

Thanks for the insight.

Of course, those in the list above, have no personal ethics and are unfit to hold the offices they hold. Ron Paul has never, as a matter of personal ethics and policy taken any money from PACs.

Next lets look at the amounts. GS to Obama $691,000 GS to McCain $208,000 Lehman to Obama $370,500 Lehman to McCain $117,500 JP Morgan to Obama $443,000 JP Morgan to McCain $180,000 The funny thing about your bringing this up is that the #6 banking firm (#16 overall) for Obama gave him more than the #1 banking firm (#1 overall) for McCain ... and Democrats have whined since I started voting 25 years ago that they have less money than Republicans! All 12 of McCain's banking supporters (I even included the accounting firm as a "bank") contributed LESS than the 6 for Obama. You're right about there being more than one issue though. Hopefully voters will vote with their heads and not their emotions...but I'm not holding my breath. #Aung Kyaw→
