Obama’s Money
A big hat tip to Ralph Bernardo over at Disinfo for posting this.
For those of you who are mouse click impaired, it’s a list of Barack Obama’s top twenty campaign contributors. Leading the list is notorious defense researcher University of California.
Wall Street is represented in force, with such leading lights of the financial industry as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Swiss bank UBS, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley.
But don’t forget corporate America’s most trusted legal advisors, Sidley Austin, WilmerHale, Skadden Arps (called by Forbes “Wall Street’s most powerful law firm” and touted by Fortune as number on in “Who Represents Corporate America”), and Latham and Watkins. And, of course, some of America’s favorite media conglomerates, including war profiteers who are also in the news business. Rounding out the list are a couple more elite private universities, tech giants helping to snuff out free speech in China, and notorious Holocaust and Iraq War profiteer, IBM.
