Why and how did the U of California legally contribute to Obamination's campaign???

A state funded university giving money to a specific political party/nominee???

CA state taxpayer money going to a national political figure?

 

[GoneBezerk]

Oh, as for finanical sector companies trying to save themselves from Obamination.....uh, they want to survive.

 

[rdean]

Looks like the same ones as Obama's, so what?

Not really.

CEO's and BOD give to Mitt.

The janitors and secretaries and the regular workers give to Obama.

One group Republicans idolize.

The other Republicans despise.

Guess which is which.

Besides the point that Obama's top donors are 10x Mitt's, when you get further down Obama's list you probably have the same donors. It remains to be seen how universities can afford to contribute so much to candidates when the States are going bankrupt and tuition is outrageous. IMHO they either lower tuition or those big tax-free endowment funds get taxed. I also think that the state legislatures need to approve all political donations since the universities get taxpayer dollars.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Uh, no, the list for Obamination shows money coming from lawyers, academics, finanicial people and some liberal companies.

Why are academics giving him money? Kickback money in Federal grants.

Mircosoft wants favor in the Federal lawsuits against them.

The lawyers want more laws passed to help them rig the system in their favor with more lawsuits, etc.

Looks like the same ones as Obama's, so what?

I have no idea where Warrior got his figures from, SINCE HE DID NOT LINK IT...but from the same source as the op, the figures for obama vs Mitt, for THIS ELECTION season, are above....and the link below:

Presidential Candidate Comparison: Top Contributors, 2012 Cycle | OpenSecrets

AND these are not figures for the corporations themselves, but figures of the donations of the employees of those corporations and or pacs composed of those employees of those corporation...or something of the sort is what the link in the op said....

so this is why you all are seeing Gov't of california....those are the employees using their own money to donate to a candidate....reading is your friend....

Why and how did the U of California legally contribute to Obamination's campaign???

A state funded university giving money to a specific political party/nominee???

CA state taxpayer money going to a national political figure?

These figures are people associated with groups, not necessarily the groups themselves.

The U of C system has a bunch of campuses and employs thousands of people. So it's not unusual that they will contribute to a liberal president who shares their views.

More frightening is that the same rich groups like Goldman Sachs and Morgan are giving to both candidates. Kind of hedging their bets, I guess.

So when do we get our country back? When was the "hostile Takeover" announced?

it's not necessarily hedging their bets...it could be....not ruling that out....

but since this is individual donations and pac donations of these entities, then maybe it is the employee in the lower ranks donationg to one party and employees in the upper echelon donating to another party....?

So replacing an asswipe with an asswipe is ok?

 

[nobull4u]

I see lists of known/predictable contributors to these crooks.

How many people know that the US Treasury is depositing money in bank accounts at The Vatican Bank. Just Google 'Vatican slush fund', it'll blow your mind.

Can anyone actually disprove this scandal ?

What are we going to do if it's true ??

John Roberts too ? If it's true, no wonder The Supreme Court doesn't act on trivial stuff like birth certificates and Social Security numbers !! Wow !!!!!

Wake up America !!!!!!!!
