Well, did you read the list ... or just post it thinking it would somehow be critical of the President? You asked us if we'd be surprised by the persons on this one independent committee of supporters (Victory Fund). And, my answer is "Yes." Why? Because it includes some of the most innovative and successful entrepreneurs and businesspersons in our country .... inculding, sprisingly to me ... the head of News Corporation, the megacompany controlled by Rupert Murdoch and the parent company of Fox News. If you're going to present a target to "fellow travelers" such as yourself ... choose another. This one emphasizes how many in business are supporting the President, not Willard.

And regarding the listing of campaign staff: so what? It's a highly-talented group of politically successful people. Probably not much different in make-up of the Willard campaign. Both parties have a legion of talented staff they can and do call upon to assist. I think those chosen to work on the President's behalf in the campaign indicate his good judgment in the selection process.

The fact that Jon Corzine is on the list should be a HUGE red flag for all of you people that insist there is any difference between Romney and Obama when it comes to the influence being bought by Wall Street.

You have a guy that simply "cant find" $1.6B that he was in charge of investing for clients, and now he is bundling money for the Obama campaign?? It is a pathetic joke that this is allowed and that he is not in jail.

Ok Ricardo Craneo. I posted it as information only. Draw your own conclusions.

Right wingers wish they could get that kind of star power. All they have are idiots like Hank Jr. comparing the president to hitler, the oak ridge boys, and a senile old man talking to an empty chair

You said it "speaks for itself." Figured-out yet in what language it's speaking to you ... and what it's saying? Your take on it would have allowed readers you solicited to better understand what you want us to focus on. How about posting a list of one of the Romney PACs, so we can do some comparisons? Thanks.

It's not surprising that Obama and the Dems get the support of entertainers and "star power." Most of that crowd lives in a wealthy bubble world, isn't particularly well-educated, is overly concerned with whatever is trendy at the time, has a high rate of drug use, is used to getting what they want and stuff handed to them, and lacks critical thinking skills.

Not really something I'd be bragging about.

Is there a Jon Corzine, criminal-type (you know, embezzlement, likely fraud) in Romney's list? If so, then we have apples and apples. Until then, no. Oh, did we talk about Tony Rezko?
