Obama Flush With Cash from Financial Sector

At WaPo, "Obama has more cash from financial sector than GOP hopefuls combined, data show":

Despite frosty relations with the titans of Wall Street, President Obama has still managed to raise far more money this year from the financial and banking sector than Mitt Romney or any other Republican presidential candidate, according to new fundraising data.

Obama’s key advantage is his ability to collect bigger checks from fewer donors, because he raises money for both his own campaign committee and for the Democratic National Committee, which will aid in his reelection effort. As a result, Obama has brought in more money from employees of banks, hedge funds and other financial service companies than all the other GOP candidates combined, according to a Washington Post analysis of contribution data.
Right.

And the administration's "sympathetic" to the protesters?

See: "Obama campaign announces it will protest Obama administration."
