Wall Street’s ’Fat Cats’ Still Giving to Obama Campaign
President Barack Obama called Wall Street executives “fat cats,’’ criticized their bonuses and tried to raise their taxes. The financial-services industry, in turn, has directed a stream of complaints toward the administration, fueling perceptions of a rift between the president and a key 2008 donor group.
But, defying expectations, the securities and investment industry has remained an important part of the Obama fundraising effort. Mr. Obama and the Democratic National Committee raised more than $14 million from the securities and investment industry through the end of April, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Mr. Obama’s campaign alone raised $361,000 from the industry in May.
