    "Corporate paymasters" like war profiteer GE (over 1 million donated to Obama in 2008....received 182BILLION bailout for a company that does not pay taxes)

    http://politicalvelcraft.org/2011/01/21/worst-bailout-in-u-s-history-general-electric-gets-182-5-billion-in-obama-buddy-bailout-project-calls-for-jeffery-immelts-immediate-resignation/

    Goldman Sachs $1,013,091 donated to Obama in 2008 (bailout 10 BILLION)

    JPMorgan Chase & Co $808,799 donated to Obama in 2008 (bailout 25 BILLION)

    Citigroup Inc $736,771 (bailout 45 BILLION

    Morgan Stanley $512,232 donation to Obama in 2008 (bailout 10 BILLION)

    Is that what you are talking about there dfromspencer? Did you know the "Obama Machine" has been bragging about how they have a BILLION to campaign with this year, got any idea where that came from there dfromspencer? If you want someone who doesn't sell out Ron Paul is the only choice.
