4. 99% of his contributions come from individuals
Here's the amounts from the "four largest group of bankrollers", IE people who work for these companies (large disposable income) who have donated to Obama.

$369,078 - Goldman Sachs
$229,090 - Lehman Brothers
$220,950 - National Amusements Inc
$216,759 - JP Morgan Chase & Co

Total $1,035,877

How is this very influential when he has raised nearly 100 million dollars?

The donors from the $200-499 amounts to more than double that at $2,848,192. That total would be even higher if you include sub-$200 donations.

These numbers are all from http://opensecrets.org and easily accessible to all.

I'm supposed to believe he's being corrupted by any one of these businesses because the people who work for them account for less than a fraction of a percentage of his total contributions? Really?
