Obama's biggest donors.

[Wow]

Some change lol
Big Corporations own Obama!

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2008 election cycle. The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organization's PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Because of contribution limits, organizations that bundle together many individual contributions are often among the top donors to presidential candidates. These contributions can come from the organization's members or employees (and their families). The organization may support one candidate, or hedge its bets by supporting multiple candidates. Groups with national networks of donors - like EMILY's List and Club for Growth - make for particularly big bundlers.

The following are the top 5 contributors to the candidate of change:

goldman sachs $605,980
univ of calf $428,110
jp morgan chase & co $403,407
ubs ag $370,130
citi group $363,454

top 5 contributing industries

lawyers and law firms $17,370,876
misc business $13,391,968
retired $10,167,470
securities & investment $8,582,811
education $6,855,751

It hardly represents change in the usual politics and the usual players.

Zubair Ahmed $500
Khaleel Ahmed $2000
Both charged with conspiring to kill, kidnap or maim persons outside of the United States.

Sorry to spoil your party, but Obama's funds have come almost exclusively from individual donors. His is a grassroots campaign....

Obama has raised $286,000,000 almost all of it from individual donors.

Your post misrepresents at best.

If you read the post, it explains how individual donations were bundled (People like Norman Hsu bundle donations) from banks, terrorists and law firms.
Banks, terrorists and Lawyers own Obama!

Obama is the typical wacko Liberal candidate.

No one owns Obama, but Obama may own John McCain.

Lies?
Have you ever heard of campaign bundlers and the FEC?

Opensecrets is not the source for campaign donation information, it would be the FEC (Federal Election Commission).

Campaign bundlers get money from individuals from specific groups.
In Obama's case, he is owned by banks, law firms and American haters.

It's a nice spin to say Obama is so loved by so many Americans that they are standing in line to give him money but he did not even defeat Hillary.

These civil rights law firms forced their lawyers to give to Obama, because if Obama is elected, these types of law firms will make big bucks, $20,000 plus per hour! Obama voted against a bill to hit Lawyers with a windfall profit tax on $20,000 an hour plus fees.

Obama is in bed with greedy lawyers that are the root to most of the problems in the US.

Lobbyist reports show $181,000 for McCain
Obama receives $6,000 but aides insist such contributions will be returned

The campaign contribution system we currently have is the leading cause of the erosion of democratic republic, as far as I am concerned.

That both parties drink of the same wells is rather obvious.

Obama has, however, seems to tap into more truly small (and unaffiliated) campaign contributors than McCain has.

This tells us something, I suspect, about the probably outcome of this election.

Obama has 1.5 million contributors, probably the biggest grassroots campaign in American history. But the Obama bashers have nothing, so they are grasping at straws.
