Easy. French Madame Mitt's top contributors are corporations and businesses who leach off the federal government in the form of government handouts.

Even Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney took $50 million in federal bailout money while CEO of Bain. It appears not only was he a failed governor, but a failed businessman as well.

Meanwhile, Obama's top contributors are progressive companies that actually produce things and do not rely on government handouts to strive: Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc

This is like the 3rd thread on this subject in the last couple of days, but anyways lets do a comparison :

Obama 08 Goldman Sachs $1,013,091
Mittens 12
Goldman Sachs $367,200
Obama 08 JPMorgan Chase & Co $808,799
Mittens 12
JPMorgan Chase & Co $112,250
Obama 08 Citigroup Inc $736,771
Mittens 12 Citigroup Inc $57,050
Obama 08 Morgan Stanley $512,232
Mittens 12
Morgan Stanley $199,800

If you are fair you would have to have thought that in 08 Obama was the best money could buy, right? The only point of this thread is the Wall st and bankster money is shifting to Mittens so far. Once we get into the general we will see where that money goes. Myself, I do not care since I do not vote for the establishment choices.

The Wall Street PACS give to both parties. There are partisans on both side of the issues at those places. Romney is one of them, so it's not surprising he'd get some of that money. I suppose it would be interesting to know what McCain or Romney was getting at this point from those interests in 2008 for a comparison to see if the total level of financial support this year is up or down. Romney's positions on issues aren't as important as what the extremists in the Republican Party will adopt as a Platform and what an assumed Republican controlled Congress will force him to deal with. Legislative power rests with the Congress, not the President.

I don't think you gained any credibility with this post!

"Meanwhile, Obama's top contributors are progressive companies that actually produce things...Facebook,"

Please tell us what does Google and Facebook produce that is so vital to America?
