Nearly everything you need to know about the candidates in this election is contained in this [url="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/contriball.php"]table[/url] of their top donors*, compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Although he’s long since dropped out of the race, I include Ron Paul for purposes of comparison:
[b] [url="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/contrib.php?id=N00009638&cycle=2012"]Barack Obama[/url][/b]
University of California $927,568 Microsoft Corp $680,769 Google Inc $661,996 Harvard University $535,405 US Government $528,603

[b] [url="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/contrib.php?id=N00000286&cycle=2012"]Mitt Romney[/url][/b]
Goldman Sachs $965,140 Bank of America $844,734 Morgan Stanley $768,216 JPMorgan Chase & Co $749,918 Credit Suisse Group $588,841

[b] [url="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/contrib.php?id=N00005906&cycle=2012"]Ron Paul[/url][/b]
US Army $115,458 US Navy $92,350 US Air Force $90,611 Google Inc $42,478 US Dept of Defense $39,500

Enough said.
*As the Center for Responsive Politics explains, the “organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations’ PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate families.”[/size][/color][/size][/font][/color]

Interesting.

Universities and the US Government gave more the $2,000,000 to Obama? I thought they were all broke.
