Reply #16: The facts speak pretty clearly on this

[Big Bill Jefferson]

Four out of Obama's top five contributors were financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs (571,330 dollars), UBS AG (364,806 dollars), JPMorgan Chase (362,207 dollars) and Citigroup (358,054 dollars).

Simply because it was done by bundling contributions doesn't change this fact.

Obama was an act of system legitimizing brilliance. What his campaign did do effectively was neutralize populist dissent and siphon this grass roots energy into conventional party politics.

We've seen the result. Anyone see the anti-war movement lately? How about an anti-corporate movement in light of all the foreclosures and job loss? Nowhere to be seen. People put their faith in Obama and the results there also speak for themselves.

Obama is a company man.
