“Attending tonight’s event will be some of the Wall Street executives who have been on the receiving end of the administration’s criticism, according to the New York Times. The fundraiser is co-hosted by Orin Kramer, a partner at an investment fund, the newspaper reported”.

“This year, as Congress drafts new financial regulations, employees at securities and investment companies have given more money to candidates and the political parties than any other industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group”.

“Morgan Stanley has long been a major political giver. Its employees contributed $3.7 million for the 2008 elections, fifth among financial companies, according to the Center for Responsive Politics”.

Morgan Stanley, another company whose executives in part caused the economic meltdown that has left millions of Naive Americans without jobs and homes is contributing right and left to the same Democratic Party.  Do you see something wrong with this picture???

Not sure what Naive Americans think is going on in our country.  It appears that the president has to answer to the Democratic Party who put him in office and the Democratic Party has to answer to the contributors who caused the economic meltdown.  So how is CHANGE going to occur ???
