Wall St. & Obama's $1 Billion Presidential Re-Election Fundraising Goal

News came last month of the unprecedented amount of money President Obama will seek to raise for his 2012 reelection campaign.

And now with Obama's recent appointments of officials drawn from 'Too Big to Fail' institutions like Bill Daley of JP Morgan Chase and Gene Sperling of Goldman Sachs to key posts in his administration, we can see where Obama expects to raise that $1 billion.

Wall Street is home to perhaps the biggest pile of campaign contributions. As Inside Job Director Charles Ferguson explains, while Obama's decision to give in to Wall Street is depressing it's entirely rationale in terms of his re-election fundraising goals.

In fact it's a pretty safe bet that both Democrats and Republicans will be aggressively courting Wall Street and the now 'Too Bigger to Fail' banks for massive 2012 presidential campaign contributions.

And I'm sure there will be no strings attached to any such contributions, right Lloyd and Jamie?
