Obama Tops List of Bought-and-Paid-For Politicians

September 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Who received the most money from Wall Street executives (i.e., the folks Barack Obama referred to in a recent speech as the ones “who got us into this mess”)?  According to one report, Obama tops the list of politicians who’ve been bought and paid for by the same folks responsible for the recent collapse of U.S. financial markets.

The graphic at right reflects the Top 20 Members of Congress in terms of influence and lobbying money received, according to a report, Securities & Investment: Money to Congress, published by Open Secrets.org.

To learn more about some of the people involved in this scandal and how Obama is related to them, read my post, ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ Festivities Began Early.

Also, there’s a lot more where this came from at Atlas Shrugs.  Hat tip to Pam Geller!
