Obama's bank tax populism

When election time hits, pollsters always say "populism sells". Well, this is what Obama is doing. He's asking if "we are on the side of the Wall St. Fat cats, or on the side of the people?" Well, in digging deep, the top 8 political figures that are supported by banks (Goldman Sachs, Citi, etc.) are Democrats. And going back to 2008, Obama destroyed a record of getting almost 1 Million dollars of hard money from personal bank donors. In addition, those who helped craft the Bush/Democrat TARP bill in late 08 were Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner. Obama backs both of them.

So before Obama wants to continue to spout of for "the little guy", just take a look at who he gets his dough from.
