"Obama Winning Investors by 49%-38% Against Romney in Poll" (not sure if this is good or not)

I'm not sure how to take this--I guess it is a good thing. Obviously the wealthy and investors have done very well in current markets since Obama took office. The article hints that generally global investors are coming to realize that austerity is a dangerous direction for the global economy.

But it depends on the person. I don't think Obama is a saint but just because he manages to pull down the bucks that are needed for a presidential campaign does not, in itself, mean he is capable of being bribed.

The details will tell you that investors outside the US overwhelmingly support Obama - and those in the US overwhelmingly do not.
