As earning season starts, I like to look back at who are our president's top donors in 2008 election. In recent news, Goldman just annouced on average their employees would receive 700K (average) in bonus. Also looking back at the people who gets hired into his cabinet and those who receive bail out money, I can see why Obama got praised by so many. See any trends?
