WestVirginiaRebel Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Politico:President Obama raised eyebrows this weekend when he visited Comcast CEO Brian Roberts’ Martha’s Vineyard home on Sunday. Comcast, beyond being a telecommunications giant, is also the parent company of NBC and MSNBC. It turns out that Comcast employees are also the most generous organizational donors to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Comcast employees have donated nearly $200,000 to the fund, according to an Open Secrets analysis. They top out a list that includes Goldman Sachs employees (No. 4), law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, & Flom (No. 2), and Dreamworks (No. 8). In addition, Obama has also spent some time with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett on the phone during his vacation. Buffett’s employees similarly rank among the top 10 organizational donors to Obama, chipping in more than $100,000 so far, and landing in the No. 6 spot on the list.________Corporations are evil!
