How can any thinking person give this collossal failure any campaign money?

i don't know.

maybe they should just pay more in taxes.

What else does Romney have to hide. Or is it he just likes to flip flop several times before releasing data.

The same way the republican corporate socialist get their money from the koch brothers and alike.

how can any Jewish guy give this socialist money.

You're right, it's surprising - socialism is more in line with the teachings of Jesus.

From a voter to Mr. Obama: "Send ME your resume" before any donation is given.

Wait a minute......His resume woult be filled with nothing but fairy tales.

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other..

Politics: [Poly "many" + tics "Blood sucking parasites"]

Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.

alexinPa - easy since he's not a socialist! That ignorant rant is just that. Along with marxist, etc. Get a life!

This nothing yet,...wait until Oprah Winfrey joins the party. She has already indicated a willingness to support and the campaign need only ask.

The 2010 election was just the pulling back of the political rubber band as far as possible, so we can eject as many TeaPubs as far from public office as humanly possible. Give this President what he needs to be successful, that is 70 seats in the Seante and control of the House.

OBAMA AND DEMS WILL ROCK THE HOUSE IN 2012

Now lets see the corporate donors. Both parties are of the rich and for the rich.

If large campaign donations are needed to allow Obama to lock the GOP out of the White House...great!

$82,000,000.00 on hand, to run for a $400,000.00 per year job.??? Must have a great dental plan..!!

how can any Jewish guy give this socialist money.

Most Jews are actually Democrats because they see the democrats as compasionate to the poor and needy. They don't necessarily agree with Isreal's actions either. I actually employed by a couple of Jewish guys. They are real good people.

Obama will need twice of money to buy tons of kool-aid to be reelected,

Its funny because the RICH in Obama corner knows he wants to Raise Taxes, but the RICH on the GOP side wants to keep collecting Government welfare, maker's me wonder ??????????? It's like when you watch the RICH and the Shameless ................. Think before you vote people ..... Obama 2012

Mike P101, you are probably right. However only one party understands that someone has to pay the bills if they are to keep the gravy train rolling.

Oskar... you seem to know more about kool-aid than anyone else on Newsvine.... almost all of your posts are posts about drinking kool-aid. Do you prefer one flavor over another? When you grow up, you might like soda or maybe even a little nip of gin now and again.

Please, don't egg him on!! It's the gin that oskar needs to give up. All too often oskar ends up on the floor before he finishes his post. And to be specific, his drink of choice is gin and koolaid.

ir12 .. If the republicans tomorrow said tax the rich the democrats would suddenly oppose it. Just like health insurance reform, the democrats had an opportunity to pass exactly what they wanted but they stalled and finally passed a plan that gave the insurance companies what they wanted. Newt wasn't the only one who got huge consulting kickbacks, both party members do it after leaving Washington. Neither party has our best interest at heart. Sadly, we lack a viable 3rd party that's for the people.

Wow ! That e-mail from the Department of Energy adviser, Steve Spinner pretty much PROVES the White House was directly involved for pushing the "loan" to Solyndra !! Imagine that !!!

Why would the Obama administration push for a "loan" for a company that had received the kiss-of-death "GOING CONCERN" letter from their independent CPA'S ? Could it be the campaign fund kickbacks that came Obama's way ??

Obama is bought and paid for. His concern for middle-class America is only a smokescreen. Corzine's contribution is also fascinating, even if it has now been returned.

FYI, jews are mostly democrats, they understand the manipulation of people for their own well being, they own media outlets; TV, radio and hollywood,, they know how to work an audience and suck them dry with nothing to show for it.

It seems terrible to say about a specific group of people, it would be great if it werent true. But it is.

I guess its better to get your 10 million from one person involved in taking money from people gambling.... Thats the RepukliCON way.

I think the reason so many in the field of entertainment like President Obama is because they have an imagination. They imagine a Greater America, one free of the hatful hellbent divisivness of the GOP.

Great comment Recall Walker socialism is closer to the teaching of Jesus.

The doctrine of the GOP is full of selfishness and hatred. Who does that sound like?

Thamks...I needed a good laugh after a hard day of W O R K !

If large campaign donations are needed to allow Obama to lock the GOP out of the White House in 2012 - Great!

Obama..."LOL"

Why Obama need so much money when he has campaigning for reelection for more than three years, has free advertising in most media outlets , has a transparent government, the unemployment is 7 % , our GDP is growing 3 % a year , our budget is balanced, there is no more illegal immigration, and has a huge list of accomplishment ; realy hard to beleive.

Oskar, either you are being smarmy, or you are from a different planet?

Every candidate needs money to run their ad on T.V, which cost a lot of money. If you want to take money out of politics, then have right wing media tell American voters the true instead of spinning and confuse word--like socialist, class warfare....

Look at Mitt Romney he has 250 million plus wealth and only pay 13.9% in tax and swiss bank account. In fact, most of Mitt money raising is from Wall Street, Big Banks, oil companies, etc. Mitt spend about 16 Million just in Florida alone. So, he raise a lot of money.

Its going to take the great deluge to win.

Apparently some on here haven't heard the release from his administration stating that unemployment may rise to 8.9%.

You also have one of the eight ecomomists (is not from our country either) who acurately predicted the collapse in 2008) predict that if spending and taxes were nut cut more this year and/or if we pick a fight with Iran the dow will drop to 8,000.

Add to that Dr Schiller saying that housing is going to continue to drop in value. That is real bad. Don't you read history, until housing starts to recover - you've got nothing!

Meanwhile you got two jackels fighting over a carcass before the game is brought down and killed.

Only in America will someone raise and spend almost a quarter of a billion dollars to get elected to a job that pays $400,000/year. Based on how much has been raised and spent so far, I would estimate that campaigns in the presidential election race will result in spending of $500 million dollars combined. I expect that Obama and Romney (assuming he is the Republican nominee) will each end up spending $200 million in their quests to get elected/reelected. The amount of money in politics today has reached absurd levels. The amount spent on federal level election campaigns for the 2012 elections, the 435 congressional races, 33 senatorial races, and the presidential election, will be in the billions of dollars. Imagine how many people could be housed and fed with that amount of money.

I've accepted as a reality that the Presidency, Senate seats, and seats in the House, are bought. I seriously doubt that anything will change as long as there are pro-business people on the SCOTUS. Businesses can not be regulated and laws upheld when politicians accept money from the very people they will pass legislation favoring.

Sector leads:

Obama---entertainment, real estate development, education.

Romney--Associated Outside Groups (5):

Super PACs:
Citizens for a Working America PAC
Republican Truth Squad
Restore Our Future
Other committees:
Citizens for a Working America PAC, Florida Watch Action

and the financial sector has jumped to Romney. They don't like to be regulated, so they want to buy one of their own.

Just being sarcastic :)

Brian

Did you read the article, Obama get money from the 1 % . Do a little of homework cheking his donors, you will see some surprises.

At least the President disclosed the names of his bundlers. Can't say that about the republican's yet. McCain did when He ran. I'll bet Mitt and Newt both, shake like a constipated dog receiving a vinegar enema every time they are confronted with the subject.

Ya, NBC leans left and Fox News lays right... what's your point?

As far as I can tell, both are biased but Fox has been caught in MORE lies. Furthermore, countless studies have PROVEN that Fox is the MOST inaccurate "news" network out of all of them.

But don't worry, Fox still gives us great information. Like... how else would we know that the Muppets are really a liberal, brain-washing, indoctrination program aimed at your children? Thank you, Fox News, for your tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. Maybe you can convince everyone that the Muppets should be banned from the Moon, when you all move there with Newt.

Oh, and Fox also taught us that Republicans and Democrats sitting next to each other at the State of the Union Address is the SAME as date rape... yes, DATE RAPE, Fox actually said that. Which makes sense, because if you have ever talked to a woman who experienced this horrific act, she would explain to you that it was like sitting next to someone of opposing political views. True reporting, thanks to Fox News. It just doesn't get any better than that.

and a former Energy Department advisor who pushed a government loan for the now bankrupt Solyndra solar company.

Then you have an executive from Comcast and also Jon Corzine. It's like an "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" wink wink.

@Against Union Thievery

"It appears that many of the surnames of the donors are Jewish. Do they realize that the president doesn't like the Jewish people. What is wrong with them? Don't they watch the news?"

Actually, I imagine that the reason they ARE contributing is because they ARE watching the (real) news and NOT the republiCLOWN propaganda machine, Faux "News". You probably don't know this, Against, since you don't watch the (real) news, but it has been reported (by REAL news agencies) that an independent study concluded that viewers of Faux "News" are less informed than people who watch NO news at all.

With regard to your implication that President Obama "doesn't like the Jewish people", could you please cite the basis for your statement (other than the foaming-at-the-mouth likes of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc.)? If I recall correctly, President Obama took the lead in opposing Palestine's request for statehood in front of the U.N. Furthermore, the POTUS has REPEATEDLY supported our ally, Israel, and that country's right to defend itself against her enemies (chief among them, Palestine and Iran).

Now, I am not suggesting that you quit watching Faux "News", after all, it is extremely ENTERTAINING and it is consistently funnier than most late night talk shows. I would, however, recommend that you, at least occasionally, check out a LEGITIMATE news source that is TRULY "fair and balanced" in its reporting and adheres to ETHICAL journalistic standards and practices, which are virtually non-existent at Faux "News".

According to the Sunlight Foundation, Rupert Murdochs News Corporations three largest recipients of political contributions from 1989 to 2010 are President Obama, $368,669, Hillary Clinton, $298,525, and John Kerry, $157,901. In fact, democrats outdid republicans overall 51% to 49%.

Olebud-

If I recall correctly, President Obama took the lead in opposing Palestine's request for statehood in front of the U.N.

You better recall your recollection. From that point on, your comment is irrelevant.

The autumn of 2011 is the deadline for a peace treaty agreement and the establishment of a Palestinian state, according to what President Obama,Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas agreed in September 2010, when they gave themselves one year to negotiate. In September, it will also be a year since Obama from the UN rostrum stated that his goal was that next year's General Assembly could welcome a new state.

Another one-

So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states. The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their full potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state.

As for security, every state has the right to self-defense, and Israel must be able to defend itself -- by itself -- against any threat. Provisions must also be robust enough to prevent a resurgence of terrorism, to stop the infiltration of weapons, and to provide effective border security. The full and phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the assumption of Palestinian security responsibility in a sovereign, non-militarized state. And the duration of this transition period must be agreed, and the effectiveness of security arrangements must be demonstrated [WhiteHouse.gov, 5/19/11]

So, he supported Palestinian statehood before he opposed it? I didn't get either of those from Fox.

Obama gets crazy cash, repubs get crazy cash...it's all a scam people. Buying votes and selling favors.

Rupert Murdoch is a long-time liberal (and Labour Party supporter in Australia); he hosted fundraisers for Hillary Clinton in '08.

But he's also an opportunist - he realizes the vast majority in the U.S. are not liberals, and he's done very well for himself catering to them...

olebud03-Can you please post the link to the independent study that says Fox News watchers are less informed than someone that watches no news. You didn't post it because it does not exist. You told against union thievery to quit making up thing when in fact you are a hypocrite and are doing the same thing. To all you Dems that said Solyndra did not get special access for there last contributions to Obama you were wrong it is right here in this article from your own news source. Tell me also what is real news now a days since none of the news organizations asked Obama any hard questions during the 08 election and gave him a pass on his own racism in regards to the Reverend of his church. So what news agency do you say is balanced? Also Obama has done nothing for this country and has only contributed to the divide between Rep and Dem instead of bridging the gap as a good president would do. Here is a poll where US citizens vote on who is the worst president and guess who is number two, yes it is Obama

http://www.usnews.com/polls/who-was-the-worst-president/results.html

You meant rhetorical not literal - need to brush up your English!!

Here you go, Billy-boy! LOL. All you have to do is use "the google" and you could find NUMEROUS sources for the independent poll to which I referred. Alas, you ARE a typical republiCON -- you want to be pampered, catered to, and waited on hand and foot. It is amazing how all of you RWNJs (like your God, Willard) want to put your feet up on the desk and enjoy the benefits of having the rest of us do all the work FOR you.

ohhnho "According to the Sunlight Foundation, Rupert Murdochs News Corporations three largest recipients of political contributions from 1989 to 2010 are President Obama, $368,669, Hillary Clinton, $298,525, and John Kerry, $157,901. In fact, democrats outdid republicans overall 51% to 49%."

Not all that surprising. A few years ago, OpenSecrets posted the 100 largest contributors to Democrats and Republicans over the previous 20 years, and while businesses contributed somewhat similar amounts to both Republicans and Democrats, there was a HUGE disparity in favor of Democrats from unions and trial lawyers.

In fact, that huge disparity from unions and trial lawyers for Democrats resulted in the Democrats getting almost 80% of all contributions from these 'big donors', while the Republicans got just over 20% overall.

That was the REAL reason that Obama was so upset with the Supreme Court that allowed corporations to contribute unlimited funds like the unions did - he liked the huge contribution advantage that the Democrats got.

The unions also got laws passed so that any union member that 'opted out' of the portion of their dues used for political contributions could be expelled from the union - which allowed the union bosses to use member funds for Democrats without regard for the wishes of the members.

The Price Tag Of Politics

As Bob Schieffer explains, Politicians generally listen to the ones who gave them the money to get where they are today and in the end, once they reach Washington their positions are set in stone, thanks to lobbyists and special interest groups.

ROY WILSON-336103,

I would post here how much President Obama got from the "Insurance Industry", "Medical Device Industry", "Pharmaceuticals Industry" for President Obama's Passage of his Health Care Reform (the Taxpayer money they got is listed in the Section of "Source of New Revenues"), and who his Biggest Fund Raiser Really is as his Buddy, "Mr.Corporate America"; but, then the Newsvine NAZIs that do not others to learn the researched Facts will collapse the post.

Bill1488 "Obama has done nothing for this country and has only contributed to the divide between Rep and Dem instead of bridging the gap as a good president would do."

While most people would agree that Ronald Reagan got a lot accomplished while President, many do not realize that Reagan had to work with a Democratic Congress (House AND Senate) for all of his 8 years in office.

A true leader finds a way to get things done.

A weak leader, like Obama, refuses to compromise and finds someone to blame for their failures.

While Obama keeps saying 'They won't compromise', in reality it's Obama that refuses to even address the biggest problem with out Debt - Out of control 'entitlements'. Every attempt to get Obama to address that issue ends with partisan demonizing of the Republicans.

How many of you actually know what the Megaupload is all about. Please stop getting wrapped around the axle with baloney, look at the BIG Picture.

This is why I kept saying eliminate the Rich Elitist Electoral College (and do not even attempt that lame excuse of representing the smaller States).

THIS IS ALL ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RELECTION. You honestly think that it is a coincidence that this is happening now.

Who does the US Department of Justice Work For. As it is the President's Job to Enforce the US Laws.

This is all about President Obama getting the Rich Elitist Electoral College Votes of California (55) via Hollywood (look at the article and list, http://www.barackobama.com/pages/volunteer-fundraisers-Q4), all he needs after that is a State like New York (29) or Florida (29) and you may as well as say he is US President again. You can piss up a rope or into the wind with your one vote for all he cares.

http://www.270towin.com/

Your one Vote means NOTHING. As it is the Rich Elitist Electoral College that determines the President and Vice President of the United States of America.

Cause + Effects = Results. Use this and you can figure things out yourselves. Or after the fact, backwards as, Results = Effects + Cause if you want to find out who, what, where, when, why (motives), how many, how much, etc.. Just do not blame me if you find out things that you did not want to know. And by all means do use discretion and do not blurt things out as some people will hate you for that and might take extreme measures against you.

Saw this all coming a long time ago,

After President Obama signed his Patriot Acts (Plural) that also extended President Bush's Patriot Act (singular), and included those provisions of the defeated as Unconstitutional Senate S.1959 and House of Representatives H.R.1955 aka the George Orwell, 1984, Thought Crimes Laws.

President Obama's January 21, 2009 Patriot Acts legalized the Monitoring and Censorship of All US Communications as previously Illegal under President Bush's Patriot Act.

Under threat of prosecution, most International Internet Websites in February 2009 Created Censored US Only Internet Websites, and youtube.com stopped their post anything and required Registration. Those International Internet Websites that did not create Censored US Only Internet Websites are blocked from the US as http://404, http://403, "Blocked in your Region", "Content not viewable", etc.. This is why even BBC One, Two, etc. are not the same content as BBC America, same with Arabic Al Jazeera versus English, many other examples.

The President Obama Patriot Acts also included the "Indefinite Detentions", "Material Support to Terrorist Organizations" (humanitarian aid to Countries with Terrorists, and Legal assistance to declared Terrorist (loss of "Due Process")as currently being fought in the Courts, the verbal or written thought is the crime also as "Anyone stating a radical change to (US) Government is a Homegrown Domestic Terrorist", the required cooperation of Internet Service Providers in providing without Warrant the Physical Location(s) of their Customers, etc..

In most cases these "Clouds" have greater protections than can be afforded by the average person, I want to see YOU buy the same computer grade as "Blade Servers", high end Real Cisco Routers, and it clearly evident that most only have a basic knowledge of Raid Arrays. You go pay for a Corporate Edition of a Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, Anti Malware, etc., then tell me how right your are NOT.

US Constitution means NOTHING, as it takes a Constitutional Lawyer like President Obama to figure out how to circumvent the US Constitution.

This will just cause more Businesses to leave the US.

As far as payola this can be seen by their being Tax Exempt, and the Hollywood Political Endorsements and Fund Raisers.

Tell President Obama you disapprove and that he works for you:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact

Tell US Congress (both Houses) that you disapprove and they work for you (Or soon will not):

http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Those of you that agree with what the US Government is doing contact Dictator Assad at:

http://www.presidentassad.net/

By the way some of you really need to read the History of the US Law, McCain Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, as to who previously violated this US Law, prior to and during the 2008-2009 Elections.

Against Union Thievery Comment collapsed by the community

It appears that many of the surnames of the donors are Jewish. Do they realize that the president doesn't like the Jewish people.

Against Union Thievery,

Obama has made it clear that Israel has a right to protect herself.

How and based on what facts have you concluded that Obama does not like Jewish people?

Now, if only Obama would release his college transcripts ! What is he hiding ?

Does he not want the American voting public to see his grades, or does he not want them to see the courses he chose to take ?? If Mitt can release his tax returns, why won't Obama reveal his transcripts ???

How about taxing all political contributions at 50%, I don't think you will see any politician offering that idea.

jim-1455434

Now, if only Obama would release his college transcripts ! What is he hiding ?

Does he not want the American voting public to see his grades, or does he not want them to see the courses he chose to take ?? If Mitt can release his tax returns, why won't Obama reveal his transcripts

Jim,

Obama's predecessor did not release his college transcripts.

I "think" Obama has proved himself to be a much more capable leader.

What is your point?

Obama quickly released his tax returns for the years 2007-2010.

Is it "possible" that Romney delayed releasing his tax returns because he did not want the "average" American to see his staggering wealth (obtained by firing workers), deferring income and paying LOW tax rates? More than likely, Romney dragged his feet about releasing his tax information because he wanted to first gain campaign "momentum." He knows that his ill-obtained and plentiful cash crop might damage him at the primary polls.

"As far as I can tell, both are biased but Fox has been caught in MORE lies. Furthermore, countless studies have PROVEN that Fox is the MOST inaccurate "news" network out of all of them."

They (Fox News) was just DENIED access to Broadcast in Canada. They wanted to build a station there. APARENTLY its ILLEGAL to lie on the News there. EXCELLENT LAW!! we should have the same Law here!!!

They are the BIGGEST liars of all!! and the funny part..People are STUPID ENOUGH to believe them!! No wonder why people thought Obama was not a citizen. Show how under educated they are.

grumble75-Please post your source, no I didn't think you had one and don't tell me to google it. You are just as bad as all the politicians with there lying. No I am not a Rep just someone that thinks facts are facts and this BS is your opinion. Take our blinders off and you would see Obama is not a good leader, for that matter he is not even an ok leader, he is one of the worst we have ever had. see my post above for the link showing it.

How does it work in the mind of the very far right, unions are thieves but wall street when they buy elections and own a whole party-Norquist is a lobbyist for oil, to keep all of their taxes low including personal is just fine? That is just good business versus the middle class coming together to get higher wages is stealing? Do any of you actually listen to yourselves?

Both sides campaigns are being bought by corporate interests, you can spend your days crying over who gave what to whom, but the fact is D.C. was handed to wall street by the supreme court with citizens unite.

I'll bet Obama doesn't even get one single vote in today's election ..........I hope the trend continues.....

@Cal, I believe he's refering to the GA. court case obama blew off. The judges ruling will come soon, and may just keep obama off the pres. election ballet in GA. this year.

...THE HELL?????

Wow! Clearly somewhere in the country this evening some irresponsible republiCLOWN left their computer logged on to the vine and their potty-mouthed three year old ATTEMPTED to regurgitate the conservative talking points he hears either at the dinner table or watching Faux "News". Then again, perhaps "Pine" is REALLY one of the republiCON presidential candidates. Since Perry & Bachmann are no longer in the race, I am thinking Ron Paul, maybe???

7.62x39mm: The state of Georgia has enough problems without you laying that "sack of short cobs" on it. Damn!, many Georgians can't even afford "outhouse lime". Hell, some are having to sit in each others lap while using an accomodating neighbors facility. Rough times in Georgia.

Wow, Pine. What "part of the country" are you from? The part where the republicans continue to dis education, especially for the poor, so they'll all remain ignorant and uninformed? The part that's filled with racial hatred, because they have to find someone they consider lower than themselves in order to feel good?

Note: I am not making fun of you because you don't write very well. Rather, I feel horrible that politicians in your "part of the country" think you're not worthy of a decent education. That's why I wish you would get real and figure out which party is more interested in THE PEOPLE and which is interested in corporate welfare for greedy BIG BUSINESS. Which party said their only priority this year is to get rid of this black man in the white house -- NOT in helping the people out here who are suffering? They'd actually let us all go down the tubes for political gain. THAT'S what you want??? Why not stop hating and vote for what's in YOUR best interest?

He graduated from an inner city school?

CAL USA,

You were told numerous times TAKE CARE OF YOUR BANKRUPT ILLEGAL ALIEN HARBOR STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIRST, so that ALL US Citizens do not have to Bailout your Bankrupt Illegal Alien Harbor State as ILLEGAL COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT for your ignoring US Laws.

What do you say about a person that says one thing and does some thing else. This is not a tax and goes to the courts and say that this is a tax. One Lie AND THERE ARE OTHERS. The way he is playing, there will be another war this year year and I hope that he will do the right thing.

This is just not true. He never went to an inner city school, he went to a private shool than he went on to a Lib collage. When will you uneducated Dem stop posting your lies about Obama, you think if you say these things it will help get him reelected? It makes you just as bad as the Rep that you say you hate. This is your attempt to make it look like he over came so much. Here is the link to his personal story.

VOTE OBAMA OUT IN 2012

Don't you just love it. A bunch of rich people who get paid for pretending to be people they're not paying Obama to pretend to be something he's not.

See post#2.36.

lol

yep

Not republican or democrat, but I read the article to say that the money from the Corzines had been returned. Just saying.....

It hasn't been said that Corzine is not being prosecuted, he is presently being investigated! Keep to the facts.

If you look into it only part of the money has been return that Corzines have donated, $70,000. If you remember same thing happened to Hillary in the last election. If Obama returned all the money that Corzines and his Financial group donated to his campain over the years he would be in trouble.

Annie-716754.....Corzine's personal donation was returned.......The $500,000 he bundled however has NOT been returned.

"Corzine was one of 41 donors who bundled more than $500,000 this year for Obama’s re-election effort, according to documents released by the campaign Oct. 14. So-called bundlers arrange for contributions from other people and funnel the money to campaigns."

"

Obama’s campaign doesn’t plan to return those bundled donations and will evaluate other contributions from MF Global employees on a case-by-case basis, according to the Democratic official.

Over the past 20 years, Corzine, along with his first and second wives, directly contributed $917,000 to Democratic committees and candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, which tracks political giving."

and that's what you took from this article.

I'm sure that all of the candidates (including Republican candidates) have done the same as Obama.

I doubt anyone in or close to the Oblama administration will ever again use the word 'transparency'.

Katheryn -- Of course Republicans get bundled donations but Obama promised Change. I guess receiving funds to influence his decisions was not part of the Change thing.

you have make that info public

Why would they have a list any less embarassing the the list Obama has? Hollywood elite, out of touch with reality. Criminals like Corzine. Owners of CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN. etc. And Liberals can't stand the fact that FOX news doesn't fall in line! LOL Can't stand it that one news source is screwed to the left.

The thing is, the left decries the greed of the rich and the corporations, and then sucks up their money and returns favors--but only to their corporations of choice. It's called hypocrisy, DSG.

the problem is that it SHOWS solyndra gave him money, and he inturn gave them 500 million of my money!!!

its also uber funny that this administration tried to suck the OWS on to their side, and this is JUST WHAT OWS IS TRYING TO STOP!!!!

go ahead and try and blame the GOP for it, but this is OBAMAS donor list!!

it is this president showing his forked tounge again!

i hate this president!

OMG: Where in the article did it SHOW tht Solyndra donated money to Obama? I read that Spinner who supported Solyndra receiving a loan, donated money to Obama. Big difference!! If you reread the article you may be able to glen a more precise set of information to base your comments on and your believes about a person on! Happy Reading!

we don't know who the repub donors are they won't release the list. and i don't the President hates you back i think he just pity you, me i just think that you're dam fool, but i don't know you just like you don't know the President

Lotta (R)'s in that list bird watcher.

Goddamn!, He released the names. While I don't like "pay to play" any more than anyone else, I do respect the Presidents forthrightness with the people here. He didn't have to. This crap must be changed, and, I'll bet the President would be the first to agree. Good candidates with holes in their soles don't have a chance against bad candidates who are up to their armpits in money. Until it does, give to the candidate of your choice til it hurts, then really reach in and give some more.

He released the names but not the affiliations! What corporations/banks do they represent?

Ron Paul 2012! No banks or large corporations give to him! No lobbyist even try to approach him!

He obeys his oath!

same place the Solyndra money went i'm guessing.

"Vanished into thin air", are you serious. That money will be spent when your party finally figures out who will lose to President Obama in the general election.

Exactly, I was wondering the same thing....How could he donate to the Obama campaign when he still owes stock holders money?

tryreality- that donation was to the Dems and Obama or didnt you read it?

Obama won't get a single vote today......good.......I hope that trend continues.....

I am more worried about the billions missing from the DOD during the Bush administration ! No one is asking or talking about that! I don't invest in funds but I do pay taxes!

Sandy: On September 10th, 2001..................Rumsfeld called a press conference to announce that the Pentagon could not "account" for the expenditures totaling up to $2.3 TTTrillion. Years after 9/11/2001, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney still could not get an answer, in open session to questions which had been submitted in writing and asked in a previous open sesssion, as to who had been hired to find the missing $2.3 TTTrillion, what they were being paid to do so, and how much had they located!!!!!!!!!!!!!Still no aswers. Investigate 9/11/2001, with subpoena power this time.

The comptroller said she didn't want to answer in open session for fear that she might name the wrong companies.

President Obama in ANOTHER LANDSLIDE.

sounds like the GOP guys are a little smarter.

I can't wait until November... your clown has 0 chance with the economy in the shape it's in.

a little history reading for tonight?

that last part really is a myth, isnt it myths?!

I thought all of the candidates had to release their campaign donor lists today

@alexinPA

sounds like the GOP guys are a little smarter.

I can't wait until November... your clown has 0 chance with the economy in the shape it's in.

a little history reading for tonight?

Smarter? No. Crooked as hell? As Palin would say, "You betcha!"

As to your comment about OUR President having "0 chance with the economy in the shape it's in", if you would get your information from a REAL news agency you would know that the economy is slowly, but surely, improving. Dude, you seriously need to turn off Faux "News". You are going to OD on the RWNJ-tainted kool-aid.

These people don't know what CU is hummbird, you have to spell it out for them real slooooooooooooooooow.

Someone has to help counter Rove, Kocks, and Norquist! And me! I gave $30 so far!

Obama out in 2012!

OBAMA SUCKS, I HPOE HE GOES DOWN IN FLAMES,......This Moron Cannot Not Be Allowed TO Take This COuntry Further Down The Drain!!!!!.....You People Are Such Dumb Asses.......Screw Hollywood.....and don't even think of playing that stupid ass race card this time it ain't gonna work

That rock you are under must be heavy!

How are the Unicorns in your Hopey-Changey Rainbow Garden doing ???

Yes lets vote for the president who most of hollywood supports! I mean didn't everyone know celebrities know what's best for the country. I mean these REALLLLLYYYY wealthy overpaid people have a complete touch of life. Yes go Obama! We are your loyal servants! Let the brainwashing commence!

Look up history, in the 1930's and 1940's many in hollywood were arrested for trying to promote communism! But don't worry guyz obama says its ok to like these people..So out of touch you all are.

Hollywood needs lazy, dumb, hoards to sit on their fat asses staring at the garbage they produce... who better to produce such a population than a president who panders to whiners and criminals?

john - anyone who makes it to the White House owes favors - it's the nature of the beast

He already does owe from the last time: Solyndra, GM that was just part of it.

Isn't that the problem with the entire system, lack of ethics, when most can and will be bought.

At least they won't all be to the Mormon Church

Actually the Morman Church gives to Democrats open secrets.

The mormon church doesn't donate to any political party and stay's far from it. If people who attend the church and donate, does not mean the church itself donates.Check facts!

And where were you from 2000-2008, in a comma?

Mr. tryreality is the smartest person on this site. He just know there is a difference between a comma and a coma.

John, better re-read you statement. " He just know"????? Try to get it right if you are going to snark others.

You are a total douche bag... I read your ridiculous posts day after day. You are blinded by your ignorant hate of the taxpaying Right in this country. Romney released his tax records and pretty much everything else. He made his money LEGALLy. Paid the legal tax rate and has done nothing wrong. Here we are 4 years later and Obama hasnt even released his education records... how did a poor kid get all that money to go to Ivy league schools??? Especially when he admitted to not being a great student and a coke head to add to that??? By the way, maybe you need to go back to school yourself. You cant spell worth a damn.

By the way Romney donated over 3 million of his own money to charity. I bet that is more than all the Democraps combined.

So Thom, the left pay no taxes??? How about all of those nasty Hollywood socialist type that make millions a year. Do they not pay any taxes?? Get real.

Of course, Rove, Norquist, and Kock money is free of all arm twisting. Norquist, Sign my pledge or_____________." Put the Keystone Pipe line on the tax bill or _______________. Rove, "Stick with me or _____________________." Feel free to fill in the blanks!

Hey Verno- Can you read? Thom made no such claim that the left don't pay taxes. You need to get real.

I'll venture the left pays most of the taxes. The right hates taxes with as much passion as they love Gods young wayward women. Anyone reading the posts on this vine for any length of time should know that.

Great "venture" Mac. The so-called "left" doesn't even speak English anymore, much less pay taxes to America.

Fact: according to the IRS ( who doesn't like anybody), 3% of the income taxpayers paid 30% of the income taxes paid. 6% of the income taxpayers paid 80% of the income taxes collected. 50% of the income taxpayers who earned $50,000.00 paid no income tax. 40%of those people got back more than they paid in. Effective tax rate for $50,000.00 a year? - 4%. Romney paid 15% on a whole bunch. He paid more than several million people added together.

I do not think any politician today should be re- elected or elected. Vote all pro's out, and put in some new people. If they do not cut spending, balance the budget, deal with illegals, and impose term limits, replace them till we get the right group working for America.

Blah blah blah. This was a scam from the get go. Solar energy has NEVER been cost effective. Never. And to give the company money then circumventing the law that the taxpayer does not get their money back FIRST, well its a scam. Call it what you want but it was a SCAM. And one of many I might add... which were all to Obama campaign contributors.

Actually Solyndra, was not head of its technology. Have been working with solar for several years, and you learn real quick that everyone is "ahead" with their technology. They spent money on stupid stuff, not only that people who invested in it, especially people that were around Obama got their money plus some, while leaving the tax payers with the bill. This also happens during Republican Presidentency. The difference is that Obama is naive and got taken in on a larger scale then past presidents. If the president was smart he would have loan power comapnies the $500 million at 0% if they bought from Solyndra or First Solar. That makes the sytem work and the economy and the companies get a boost. As for siliicon raw price dropping that should have had no effect. If they were producing thin film then the cost still would be cheaper then silicon panels and the market for two is somewhat different.

I get it, you don't have to explain it. Answer why the government was involved? Not everybody is stupid on this site. I read the masses, to try understand why in a free society that people vote a party and not who would be better for society. Any paid politician is bad for this country, but only those with money can run because the mass of voters only know how to watch and not read!

Tired-one-

You are absolutely correct. Except, you forgot to mention that this was all known before the 'loan' of $535million US taxpayer's dollars were wasted. The auditors knew it, the market players knew it and all involved know it. That is why it was shelved by the Bush Adm. Why would you not mention that?? Why do you think it took less than a year for the company to fail after the $535million loan was given??

Excellent reply thom, short, simple, to the point and so very true.

you are not even close tired one.... your god obammy new that Solyndra was going bankrupt and allowed millions to go to the company anyway... I suppose 'fast and furious" was okay in your mind as well

thom: For you and only you, Romney should be your president so that you too can have the "your fired" experience!

sandy, you and the rest of the dummycraps will have 4 years of better times when dumb & dumber

are voted out. Finally we can have a true business man in office instead of a crying manchild and

his flunky.

sandy - You do realize that EVERYONE who worked at Solyndra lost their jobs right?

Amazing how firing incompetent, useless people allows a company to stay in business producing goods and employing people who actually contribute, isn't it?

You must be a union member; a job is not a right.

Hushhhhhhhhhh.....Obama doesn't want to bring that up....

that is a proven and fact checked statemnet?

they should give the money to bail out all obama's screw up spending, pelosi's and reid's.

if their really is a God, please do not let this loser in office for the next 4 years, please.

well some one handed it to them ...to throw back they dam sure... didn't work for it...
