Goldman Sachs and Other Donors

Drudge links to an Open Secrets.org site with an article showing Goldman Sachs as one of the top volunteers to the Obama campaign.  Drudge asks the questions, "will he return the contributions?"  My first thought was NOT!
When I looked at the Open Secrets site my thoughts went from Goldman Sachs to how many of the top donors were universities. Granted many of these are bundled contnributions, it still shows what a liberal bias our universities have. And of course they get much of their funding through government grants.

Here's the list:

University of California $1,591,395      (from a state so far in debt!)


Goldman Sachs $994,795

Harvard University $854,747

Microsoft Corp $833,617

Google Inc $803,436

Citigroup Inc $701,290

JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132

Time Warner $590,084

Sidley Austin LLP $588,598

Stanford University $586,557  (another California university and I think his brother in law is there.)

National Amusements Inc $551,683

UBS AG $543,219

Wilmerhale Llp $542,618

Skadden, Arps et al $530,839

IBM Corp $528,822

Columbia University $528,302   (another elitist university and I'm thinking Columbia School of Journalism, would it be listed separately?)

Morgan Stanley $514,881

General Electric $499,130

US Government $494,820 (looking out for the next boss?)

Latham & Watkins $493,835
