10 Percent Of American Billionaires Have Donated To Romney

A former venture capitalist with a net worth in the neighborhood of $250 million, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) has struggled with the perception that he is the candidate of the one percent, particularly since the 99 Percent Movement turned America’s focus to rising income inequality and corporate greed coming from Wall Street. Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer (R), in fact, labeled Romney as such last week, stating plainly that “Mitt Romney represents the one percent.”

Mitt Romney, who has been quoted saying that he would say whatever it takes to get elected, is one of those politicians (ok - ya got me-- they are ALL like this) who will say ANYTHING to whomever is in front of him in order to get their vote. He has NO chance of being President. NONE. Most people can see right through his plastic smile. And HIS Wall Street connections and his revolving door and "wink-wink" backslapping, back door payoffs, kickbacks, bribes, etc., label him as just another "let 'em eat cake" elitist. If the Republicans run Romney for President, Obama will throw a party. A big one.

All politicians have donors, Explain why Democrats get the most from Wall Street?

Barack Obama collected more donations from Wall Street in 2008 then any other Presidential nominee...EVER.
