1. Given that Obama's warchest is going to top a billion dollars,

I don't think that trying to play the money card is a wise tactic.

2. Does he come with the UPC symbol?

It's useful when selling and reselling the same commodity.

3. Romney is truly the Wall Street candidate, isn't he?

To be fair, many of those Wall Street banks supported Obama in 2008. Looks like they are shifting their support to Romney this time. The only one on the list of Obama's top 20 donors is Goldman Sachs.

4. I bet he is getting more from the big banks than Barack Obama?

What do you think?
