Washington Post. 10/19/2011. "Obama still flush with cash from financial sector despite frosty relations"

Obama raked in $76,600 dollars from Bain Capital employees through September - to Romney's $34,000.

Why is it then that the MSM won't call Obama on this?

In that WaPo article, Obama has raked in $15.6 million (around $12 mil going to the Democratic Party, which can use it to help reelect Obama) to Romney's $7.9 million in the current election cycle. Add up all Wall Street donations to all GOP candidates combined, and it won't equal what Obama has pulled in.

Where is Occupy Wall Street on this? Where is the MSM on this? They say that Wall Street is in bed with the GOP, right?

OWS and the MSM have zero credibility.

This isn't to defend Romney, as I don't support him. This is to challenge the narrative being put out by the Dem party and the MSM.

Somebody must see the need for a government bailout in their future.

I just went to Townhall.com. Almost every contributor is talking about Newt, love him, hate him, tolerate him. Only one was talking about Mitt.

That’s very bad news for Romney.

This isn’t a surprise. If Slick Willard wasn’t running for president himself, he’d probably be donating to Obama too.

I didn’t expect Newt “Scozzafava” Gingrich to surge like he did.

I was hoping that Bachmann or another would get the nom, but we see how that has turned out so far. Looks like it will be Gingrich if things don’t change. Oh well, he’s better than Obama.

Bain is behind the 911 Victory Mosque sale
so obviously supports Romney and his/Obama's 57 states.

"(The GroundZero Mosque) cleared its final hurdle ….
developers plan to build the $100 million center which will include a mosque.
Since its incipient stages in July 2009, when a Muslim-run real-estate development
company purchased the damaged, vacant building and land where the new center
will be built, the project has sparked controversy and debate.
.... the tattered building that was bought by the Muslim real estate company had
been owned by a subsidiary of Bain Capital, a company Romney founded in 1984.

So it’s OK if his company can profit off the sale of the land ."


“Bain Capital, has cut checks totaling $90,000 to Romney’s operation. “

“Oh well, he’s better than Obama.”

Jammah Cahtah is better than Obama - Jammah wasn’t TRYING to deep six the U.S., he was just a boob.
