“Most Wall Street guys, they feel like they’re going to be burned in effigy,” said Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, who gave to Obama in 2008 but is now fundraising for Mitt Romney. Some moderate donors, who have given to both parties, “fled from Obama in his support of the Wall Street protests,” he said.

Obama has hauled in $3.9 mil from the finance, insurance and real estate sector this year, says Center for Responsive Politics; but outpaced by Mitt Romney receiving $7.5 mil from the sector.

Goldman Sachs employees contributed more than $1 mil to Obama in 2008— now spending more on Romney than Obama- $352,200 from Sachs employees : Obama receiving $49,125 so far. Democrats now trail far behind Republicans in Wall Street support.

Obama raked in $15.6 million, compared to Romney’s $7.5 million.

$11.7 million will go to the Democratic Party.

In the article, there is a banking exec who raises money for Obama, who basically said hat the reports that Wall Street is angry with Obama are exaggerated and overblown, and that it looks better if Obama isn’t seen as being too cozy with Wall Street. Anyway, you can see for yourself what he said.
