Investors, more than banks, open checkbooks for Obama

President Obama raised between $2 million and $3 million for
Democrats during a swing through Manhattan on Tuesday night,
easing some qualms that the economic downturn might spook major
donors at a time when the financial industry is aggravated by the
administration's populist tone but also under pressure to avoid
the appearance of excessive giving.
In a $15,200-per-plate dinner at the Mandarin Oriental hotel,
Obama asked for cooperation from Wall Street.
"If there are members of the financial industry in the audience
today," Obama said, "I would ask that you join us in passing what
are necessary reforms. Don't fight them."
