29. Obama's biggest corporate donors were investment banks.
What did anyone expect?

As a side note, I don't want to sound insensitive, but this part of the second article stuck out at me:

"Among the first-time visitors were Cindy Dreeszen and her husband, who both have steady jobs - his at a movie theater and hers at a government office - with a combined annual income of about $55,000.

But with a 17-month-old son, another baby on the way,
and, as Ms. Dreeszen put it, "the cost of everything going up and up," the couple showed up in search of free groceries."

These two have a combined income of only $55,000, they can't afford to feed themselves and the child they have, and they're still having a second child?
