I think his point is that all that Wall St cash didn't buy the influence they intended it to.

That's the definition of a crooked politician, one that doesn't stay bought after you buy him.

I guess the union money is a little greener than the bank's money.

Bank money buys future favors for a select few. Union money represents thousands...millions of votes. That is why union workers choose to have it taken out of their paychecks...a counter-offer to the corporate donors, who the Supreme Court ruled have an unlimited budget when it comes to funding political campaigns.

It appears that there are some ads running to pay people to "work for change" in their communities. IOW paid to protest, $10-15 an hour.

It's funny how the media puts a bunch of spotlight on the OWS protests, but refuses to hear out the rest of us rationale people who think this is a bunch of nonsense whining.

I disagree, I think Wall St's "investment" in Obama is working out swimmingly for them.
