...you’ve been a very busy guy
ping!
Thanks.
Now I know who to boycott and badmouth on Angie’s list.
I thought CA was in dire financial straits. If the university system of CA can give $611,207 to Obama they must have too much money. I certainly hope the students are not paying more to attend college this year in light of the wealth of these institutions.
My God, they’re all banks and universities! This is unreal. Make sure this gets out.
But maybe she gave those pennies to McCain because she is sick of change.

Again, please note who's on top and note the astronomical amounts...
...and the table doesn’t go low enough to show the $126,000.00 Obama received from failed Fannie Mae - the ‘rats private government-financed slush fund about which the ‘pubs are saying nothing - which was the second-highest amount received by any US congressman (surpassed only by the amount given by Fannie Mae to Senator Dodd) - and Obama attacks McCain because of “special interests” involved in his campaign.......
Skadden, Arps et al are big lawyers
Latham & Watkins - more lawyers
Jones Day - even more lawyers...
Palin needs to make the point that the only reason companies like Lehman, Citigroup, etc feel the need to give hundreds and thousands to Obama is that government is too involved and they feel a need to buy influence. It really is disturbing. Who cares if I can send $100 or even $2300 to a candidate when a Wall Street firm clearly about to go bust can afford half a million.
The only way to get money out of politics is to get government out of the private sector.
The $370,000 check from Lehman Brothers will probably bounce.
Is University of California not a government institution? What business has it to influence elections?
Yeah Google is full of Obama lovers. They are going to cry when McCain/Palin beats them in at least a 10 point landslide.

That makes Lehman, as well as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. BUT LOOK AT THE PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITIES! They get federal and state funds for EDUCATION. How does that give them the right to spend that kind of money on Obama? And how many other democrats...
But of course, they are smaller...
