Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

University of California, $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs, $994,795

Two things to point out - is the US Government seriously one of the top donors to Obama? Something needs to be done about having a more non-partisan government, otherwise it isn't going to be shocking to have government employees choosing politicians to rule over us who then give more money and power to government employees. And last- it isn't a shock that our country under Obama has become a joke- one of his major donors was National Amusements Inc! You look at the data yourself and draw your own conclusions.

By the way, for comparison, the top donors for John McCain are:

Merrill Lynch. $373,595 (1/5 the amount of Obama's top donor)
Citigroup Inc, $322,051 (half what was given to Obama)
Morgan Stanley, $273,452 (half what was given to Obama)
