I'm not sure how that changes anything... But hey... I'm game.

What does it say?

No need to. We all know that the companies hedge their bets.

As Obama received the most wall street cash during the LAST ELECTION THEN PROMOTED THE GOLDMAN SACHS CROWD TO HIS ADMIN.

But you keep the wool hat over your eyes. I need a laugh

Oh? So it really doesn't mean anything after all.

Hey... You are preaching to the wrong guy on this one. I fully agree that both Obama and Mitt are equally shitty and basically want to keep doing the wrong things while arguing about something else. Neither one of them is going to bite the hand that feeds them... I mean... DUH. right?

But you keep the wool hat over your eyes. I need a laugh
Anything I can do to put you in a happier place.

Edit: Because I'm a fair guy and I absolutely want it understood that I WELCOME people to correct me when I'm wrong... This is where Obama got his money from 2008 & Mitt from 2012 for a fair comparison to the point brought up.

Obama:
University of California $1,648,685
Goldman Sachs $1,013,091
Harvard University $878,164
Microsoft Corp $852,167
Google Inc $814,540
JPMorgan Chase & Co $808,799
Citigroup Inc $736,771
Time Warner $624,618
Sidley Austin LLP $600,298
Stanford University $595,716
National Amusements Inc $563,798
WilmerHale LLP $550,668
Columbia University $547,852
Skadden, Arps et al $543,539
UBS AG $532,674
IBM Corp $532,372
General Electric $529,855
US Government $513,308
Morgan Stanley $512,232
Latham & Watkins $503,295

Mitt:
Goldman Sachs $593,080
JPMorgan Chase & Co $467,089
Bank of America $425,100
Morgan Stanley $399,850
Credit Suisse Group $390,360
Citigroup Inc $312,800
Kirkland & Ellis $264,302
Wells Fargo $237,550
Barclays $234,650
PricewaterhouseCoopers $227,250
Deloitte LLP $222,250
HIG Capital $216,995
UBS AG $207,750
Blackstone Group $198,800
Bain Capital $156,500
Elliott Management $146,275
Marriott International $137,827
General Electric $135,450
Bain & Co $130,550
EMC Corp $129,450

So... Still seems like:

Mitt: Banks
Obama: Mainly businesses... Little weird about the Learning Institutions though... O.0
